Full description

Depart from the resort town of Stresa on a relaxing sightseeing cruise along the beautiful coastline to discover the lesser-known corners of Lake Maggiore.

Admire architectural masterpieces such as "Villa Amalia Bernocchi" in Empire style, "Villa Carlottina Margherita" in Liberty style, "Villa Excelsior Niobe" in Castellano style, "Villa Vignolo Domus" and the most famous "Villa Pallavicino".

Sailing away from the coast of Stresa, move in the direction of the Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso, which perched on a sheer rock face overlooking the lake is undoubtedly one of the most evocative scenarios of Lake Maggiore. Take unique photographs and enjoy a tour of the lake outside the classic itineraries but no less fascinating and rich in history.

Se dovessi valutare solamente il personale di bordo darei 5 stelle senza pensarci due volte. Ci è stato spiegato tutto in modo dettagliato e il capitano era gentile e preparato. Tuttavia se dovessi valutare l'organizzazione del tour non darei nemmeno una stella. Siamo arrivati 15min prima, come richiesto in fase di prenotazione e non abbiamo trovato nessuno ad accoglierci. Preoccupata, ho chiesto al personale di un'altra barca se il punto d'incontro fosse corretto e se ci fossero dei problemi. Non sapendomi dare una risposta, quest'uomo chiama attraverso la radio qualcuno per potermi dare informazioni più precise. Dall'altra parte si sente farfugliare "è stata annullata", "non saprei", "annullata, annullata". Ho iniziato ad infastidirmi in quanto avevamo prenotato un tour privato del costo di 150 euro. Alla fine, dopo averci trattato come palline da ping-pong ed averci fatto fare su e giù, ci è stata mandata la barca. Siamo quindi partiti con 20min di ritardo
