Stresa. View from La Palma Hotel

Around Lake Maggiore, there are a lot of resorts. Demanding tourists can come to such luxury hotels as La Palma. First, you will get a magnificent view of the pond and the Alpine peaks from the hill of the community of Stresa. Secondly, the way to the nearby beach will take you no more than two minutes. Finally, in the hotel, you will find luxurious service, an outdoor swimming pool, a panoramic terrace with a large hot tub, a fitness center and much more. The cheapest double rooms, at about 190 euros, are in four-star La Palma.

Under the hotel is Corso Umberto I Street, which runs along the coastline. It is part of the intercity route, SS33, connecting the western resorts of the lake. Thanks to this camera, you can estimate traffic on the coast of the resort of Stresa.

Still, the main attraction is Isola Bella, one of the five islands of the Borromean Islands. Stresa is the closest town to the island, so it’s best to look at the Isola Bella architectural monuments from here. Almost the entire territory of the island (320 by 400 meters) is occupied by Palazzo Borromeo with its magnificent park.

We can see the part of the island where its magnificent Hanging Garden is located. The multilevel garden has Italian and English zones, and 10 cascading terraces attract tourists with their fountains and statues of nymphs.
