Here you will find the freshest, best local ingredients to cook at home.

Stresa is a charming resort known for its villas and palazzi. Spend a day exploring the Borromean Islands with a hop-on-hop-off boat trip. The islands are famous for their beautiful gardens and historic villas.

If you want to get into the water, there are several beaches and lidos nearby. A walk north from Stresa, along the scenic Lungolago promenade (or a 15 minute drive from the villa) will take you to the lido at Carciano (fee charged) which has sunbeds and a sandy beach. The Lov Bar beach, next to Pallavicino Zoo (14 minutes) is a quiet spot next to the clear waters.

Away from the lake; there are some spectacular hiking routes around the valley and forest near the villa. For golf enthusiasts, the Golf Des Iles Borromées club is just a 5-minute drive.
