Picture this: a stunning sunset cruise on Lake Maggiore, gliding across the Borromean Gulf! We'll set sail past the charming towns of Baveno and Stresa, and weave through the Feriolo Islands, making our way to the breathtaking Santa Caterina del Sasso before returning to Feriolo. Get ready to be enchanted by the Borromean Islands and unwind on a truly relaxing evening boat trip. Our adventure begins with an in-depth exploration of the Borromean Islands' coastline. We'll gently cruise past the tiny islet of San Giovanni, giving you a peek at its secluded beauty. From the water, you'll have fantastic views of the lush botanical gardens of Isola Madre and the magnificent 17th-century palace gracing Isola Bella. And of course, we'll circle Isola dei Pescatori, the "Fisherman's Island," soaking in its authentic charm. As we sail, keep your eyes peeled for the elegant villas that line the shores of Baveno and the vibrant gardens of Verbania. Leaving Piedmont behind and heading towards Lombardy, prepare to be mesmerized by the way the afternoon sun illuminates the Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso. Perched dramatically atop a cliff, this 14th-century monastery is truly unforgettable, especially with its towering 15-meter bell tower.
