Situated between Mount Mottarone and Lake Maggiore, Stresa is the logical departure point for exploring this region on the border with Switzerland. While the town is not devoid of attractions (such as the Villa Pallavicino), a visit to the surroundings is tempting, with the Borromean islands the absolute jewel of the area. Around the immense lake, extending as far as Locarno in Switzerland, is a series of small lakeside villages and other historic buildings in an idyllic setting.
