Ahoy there, fellow traveler! Get ready to explore the breathtaking beauty of Lake Maggiore with a flexible ferry pass that lets you hop on and off at some of the lake's most charming spots! Imagine yourself gliding across the water, with the option to embark from picturesque towns like Stresa, Carciano, Isola Bella, Isola Pescatori, Baveno, Pallanza, Villa Taranto, or Intra. The choice is yours! Your adventure includes entry to the stunning Villa Taranto botanical gardens, a true feast for the senses. And that's not all! Prepare your taste buds for a gourmet experience at La Casera, a renowned local food store and restaurant in Verbania Intra. Picture this: a leisurely lake cruise aboard a Lake Maggiore ferry, followed by the discovery of Villa Taranto's harmonious beauty. Feel free to hop off and explore the enchanting Borromean Islands along the way (please note that entrance tickets to the palaces and gardens on these islands are not included). After soaking in the floral wonders of Villa Taranto, a short stroll (about 500m) will lead you to Verbania Intra and the culinary delights of La Casera. From 11 am to 4 pm, indulge in an aperitivo, brunch, or lunch featuring the region's finest cheeses, cold cuts, and exquisite wines. You have the freedom to schedule your food and wine tasting whenever you like during La Casera's opening hours. We recommend aiming for a tasting between 11 am and 4 pm. Just remember to check the last ferry departure time from Intra to ensure a smooth return to your starting point!
