Why take this tour?

This is a special wintertime tour, available also during the Christmas season, that will allow you to see two of the highlights of lake Maggiore also in the winter: the hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso and isola Bella. Using a comfortable private boat ( covered!) we will enjoy a cruise on lake Maggiore as far as the lombard shore where we will visit the fascinating hermitage of Santa Caterina with its 16th-century frescoed church. The church and the two convents were built on very steep rocks on the lake and the view iof this incredible site from the water is really impressive. We will then enjoy another boat ride to isola Bella. The interiors of Isola Bella's palace and the gardens will not be accessible this time of the year, but you will be able to admire the beauty of isola Bella through its picturesque village on a guided stroll with your private local guide. You will also enjoy a private boat tour around isola Bella to see the whole island with its terraced gardens.

About operator:

Dear travellers, I'm Micaela Lucini, a true local and experienced private guide in Stresa and I am back! Italy, just like many other countries, has gone through very tough times, but I am glad to inform you that Stresa, lake Maggiore, lake Orta as well as the rest of Italy are now back to normal! All tourist attractions on lake Maggiore, including the Borromean islands, reopened to the public last May. Most of the hotels, bars and restaurants are open and foreigner travellers from EU are able to enter Italy for holiday! From July it will also be possible to enter Italy for vacation from many more countries around the world. So, please, feel free to get in touch in me if you are planning or just dreaming of your next holiday around lake Maggiore and wish to know more about my private tours and also if you have questions about safety or any other question about staying in Stresa or in the Italian lake district! I will be happy to answer your doubts. Stay safe! Ciao, Micaela
