**TRIP NOW FULL.**

**Escape to the captivating shores of Lake Maggiore for 4 enchanting nights in the town that exudes an air of timeless elegance and relaxed charm, the serene lakeside setting of Stresa. Immerse yourself in the charming, traditional, family-run Hotel Saini perfectly located in the cobblestone streets of this lovely historic town, just 3 minutes from the harbor and an easy walk to the shops, restaurants, beaches and parks. This is the perfect base for exploring all this stunning lake has to offer. From leisurely boat trips to the breathtaking Borromean islands to strolling along the picturesque promenades and soaking in the Italian sunshine, prepare for an unforgettable getaway filled with beauty, relaxation and delightful discoveries.**

**Although Stresa originally derives its fame from the Borromean Islands,, the town has much more to offer in the way of attractions. Both in and around the town, visitors can discover equally fascinating—and often less crowded—places to visit. Nature lovers can wander through the zoological park at Villa Pallavicino and meet the many animals that live there, botanists will delight in the fine alpine plant specimens at the Alpinia Gardens and climbing enthusiasts will not want to miss the panoramic view of the lakes and Alps from the summit of Mount Mottarone. A gentle stroll along the waterfront overlooking the Borromean Islands is the perfect way to relax in the evenings.**
