Stresa is a holiday resort on the Italian Lago Maggiore. Among the most famous buildings are the Villa Pallavicino with its gardens and a zoo, and the Grand Hotel des Borromées, where writer Hemingway once slept. Boats leave from the lakeshore in the direction of the Borromean Islands with their palazzi, villas, a fishing port and the Della Bambola Museum. Overlooking the lake, Monte Mottarone offers a toboggan run and botanical gardens.

Hiking

Beautiful inner city with winding streets, stairways, closely built houses. The promenade is easy to walk on, the view of the 3 island pearls is also very nice. The view of the lake and the mountains does the rest. You can even see Monte Zeda. By the way, from the summit of Monte Zeda you have a fantastic view.
