The Splendours of Lake Maggiore
We bring together Italy’s most beautiful lakes with the fashion capital of Milan, to create this spectacular Italian experience. On this escorted coach holiday enjoy stunning scenery, as we visit the crystal clear lakes of Lake Maggiore, Lake Como and Switzerland’s Lake Lugano and their surrounding villages, including the famous area of Tremezzo on Lake Como, where the Villa Carlotta stands. In contrast to this, we also pay a visit to the marvellous Milan, where you can join a guided tour of the city and see the most famous sights. With the opportunity to visit Lake Maggiore’s pretty Borromean Islands and quaint village of Orta, with its lake of the same name plus a 6 night stay at the 4-star superior Grand Hotel Dino in Baveno, you’re in for a wonderful time on this tour.

Today’s optional excursion takes us on a cruise to the famous Borromean Islands, which lie at the centre of Lake Maggiore. They are fine examples of natural beauty, enhanced by landscaped gardens and parks. The islands take their name from the aristocratic Borromean family, who took ownership of the land in the 16th and 17th centuries. Only the best architects and gardeners were called on by the family, to breathe life into their ambitious projects. We visit Isola Bella, which was completely transformed by its occupants, and its palace and gardens (entrance included) are the epitome of opulence and luxury. We also visit Isola dei Pescatori, a complete contrast to Isola Bella, but equally captivating. Its narrow cobbled streets, pretty harbour and charming houses make it an enchanting place to visit. The Borromean Islands are a must-see destination for every visitor to Lake Maggiore.

The hotel is in a wonderful position on the edge of the lake. This was the second time we had been. We would go again. Just one complaint. The evening meals weren't very good. Bland, not very warm, and very little variety. Just 2 choices either fish or meat. With it being such a lovely hotel you expect the food just as good......That is just my opinion. Everything else was great, and Paul and Lisa our crew were wonderful. Very knowledgeable about the places they took us too. Also very helpful. GREAT HOLIDAY.

I will certainly use Leger again., I have difficulty with adding photo's via my laptop. but can say the scenery was spectacular
