LAKE MAGGIORE

Lake Maggiore, repository of the wealth and cultural patrimony left by the Borromeo family, is still testimony to their prestige and refinement which can be seen in their magnificent island palazzi with their impressiveisola bella Italian gardensIsola Bella - Lago Maggiore, and the imposing Fortress of Angera. The lake should be seen from the lake, and from the lake time seems to have stood still. The Monastery of Santa Caterina clinging to the rocky cliff; Stresa and the Borromeo Islands, small in size but rich in history, and the Castles of Cannero, island outpost of the Mazzarditi Brothers, infamous pirates of the Verbano, are just a few of the timeless examples awaiting the visitor.

Less than two hours of flight link amsterdam (1h 45'), Berlin (1H 45'), Paris (1h 30'), and London (1 h) to Malpensa's Milanese Port of call, the international airport which is nearer to Lago Maggiore (about 20 km) than Milan. It is possible to reach the lake's area by evry means of transport: the plane, and the train with its international line that touches the lake west shores (this line links Milan to Genoa, Zurich and Basel with Cisalpino, Milan to Paris with Standhal, both with stops at the main lake's railway stations).

 

Gardens...

Giardini dell'Isola Bella

Acquired by the Borromeo family almost at the same time as Isola Madre, Isola Bella was to become a summer residence with garden. gardens of isola bellaThe gardens and palace were designed at the same time and inaugurated in 1671. Ten overlapping terracings were built to transform the island into a mass of greenery. The terraces are joined together by a series of steps and contain flowerbeds, fountains, statues, balustrades, obelisks, terracotta vases, exhedras and nymphs. The terraces towards the palace are enclosed by a theatre where the statue of the unicorn, the Borromeo family symbol, is located. This spectacular composition is one of the finest examples of an Italian baroque garden. Its architecture is emphasised by lush vegetation where the thicket of conifers, specimens of camphor trees, azalea bushes and a rich collection of Mediterranean and tropical plants that are able to live on the island due to the special lake climate stand out.

 

Giardini dell'Isola Madre

Having become the property of the Borromeo family in 1501, the transformation of Isola Madre's 50 hectares commenced with Count Renato I, who completed the palazzo and acquired new plants for the garden between 1555 and 1608. Progressive expansion of its botanical patrimony and buildings (greenhouses, gardener's house, fish pools, espaliers, etc.) has been taking place since then. The first catalogue of the plants grown on the island was published in 1845 by the Rovelli brothers, nurserymen turned head gardeners. Today the area - which in the old days was covered first by olive trees and then by citrus trees - is occupied by a landscaped park.

 

Giardino di Villa Ducale

A villa garden with traces of the formal Italian-style design that was typical of lake residences in the mid-19th century. The house, built in 1779, was donated to Antonio Rosmini and from 1857 to 1912 was the summer residence of the duchess of Genoa, from where it got its name. In addition to a stately cedar planted in 1860, arboreal specimens of special interest are found in the garden: magnolias, camellias etc. The villa has housed the "Centro Internazionale di Studi Rosminiani" since 1966.

 

Parco di Villa Pallavicino

Situated 500 m from the centre of Stresa, the park stretches out over about 15 hectares from the lakeside over the hill. Ruggero Borghi first designed the park in the mid-19th century. villa pallavicinoThe villa became the property of the Pallavicino marquises in 1862. They reforested the side of the mountain facing the lake and constructed 7 km of lanes, greenhouses in the park and completed the majestic building's decorations. The park was transformed into a zoo in 1952, and is still the home of a large variety of animals today. The vegetation consists of not only centuries-old chestnuts but also beautiful specimens of tulip trees, red beech trees, sequoias, maples, oaks, plane trees and magnolias. On the whole, the park layout offers a natural setting for the animals and plants but there are also more formal areas, for example near the greenhouses. Besides the villa, other buildings are found inside the park: the restaurant, the cottage, the lombardina, the farmhouse, the barns, etc.

 

Giardini di Villa San Remigio

The visit to the garden also includes a tour of the adjacent Romanesque oratory of San Remigio. "Only one entrance at 10, and the tour lasts about two hours" Villa San Remigio park is next to Villa Taranto garden. It covers about 13 hectares and is in a panoramic position on Lake Maggiore. Husband and wife Marquises Della Valle di Casanova created it at the very beginning of the 1900's. A row of terraces containing gardens inspired by various themes was constructed on the south-west side with enormous excavation work: the Mestizia, Letizia, Ore, Sospiri and Memorie gardens. Fountains, exhedras, statues, obelisks, vases, balustrades, flights of steps, etc. appear on these formal terraces. Then we find a collection of hortus conclusus behind the Romanesque San Remigio oratory, the priest's house, the grotto of Pan, the greenhouses made under the terrace floors, the marquise's art studio, etc. The eclectic composition is immersed in an English-style park made up of a wood filled with many valuable exotic species and shaped by numerous paths and stone steps connecting the different levels. You can enjoy a beautiful view of the wood that drops steeply towards the lake from the square in front of the villa and garden high up on the Colle della Castagnola.

 

Giardini di Villa Taranto

villa tarantoThe gardens, covering more than 11 hectares and situated on the side of Colle della Castagnola, were built by Scots Captain Neil McEarcharn starting in 1931. He redesigned the area by creating a series of various microclimate environments to serve as the homes of plants from all over the world. Landscaped areas alternate with formal arrangements, such as the row of terraces that face the villa on the other side of the dell with a bridge, expanses of water, lotus flower pools and flowerbeds in bloom, or the square-shaped and lower rose garden with a marble column in the centre near the Putti fountain. Centuries-old chestnuts, exotic species and rhododendrons - including even rare species and varieties - are in the steep English-style wood. The arboreal fern dell, the greenhouse with the Victoria Amazonian pool and the lane of exotic conifers that majestically winds from the entrance gate towards the small mausoleum are particularly fascinating. Its collections of magnolias, hydrangeas, heather, maples, camellias and eucalyptus are excellent as well.

 

Giardino Botanico Alpinia

This small garden, covering little more than one hectare, is situated at 810 m above sea level. Established in 1934 by the municipality of Stresa, it is located in a magnificent panoramic position over the Borromeo Gulf of Lake Maggiore. The aim was to protect a beauty spot and collect examples of flora growing on Mottarone and in lake regions in the foothills of the Alps. Approximately 2,000 species of plants - especially alpine and officinal - were planted in the garden.
