Your guide will meet you at the pier in Stresa to take a boat and reach isola Madre, a little paradise on earth.
Walking in the peaceful English-style garden you will admire exotic plants and flowers in a very special setting. The villa on this island is part of the guided tour and offers nice rooms in a country-style building dating back to the 16th century.
