LUXURY ITALY HOLIDAYS

ABOUT THE ITINERARY

Embark on an enchanting escape to the Italian Lakes, where deep blue waters, picturesque fishing towns and sublime natural scenery await.

Lake Maggiore is Italy’s second largest lake, and regarded by some as its most beautiful. On this luxury holiday, you will have seven nights to enjoy its quiet shores and balmy Mediterranean climate, basing yourself at the wonderful resort town – and old Hemingway haunt – of Stresa.

DAY 1-7

LONDON – LAKE MAGGIORE

Your venture into the Italian Lakes brings you to gorgeous Lake Maggiore, a destination steeped in old-world charm, and the glamorous waterfront town of Stresa. With a reputation for attracting European aristocrats, artists and affluent holidaymakers, the streets of Stresa come lined with grand hotels, elegant landmark villas and gourmet restaurants. From the waterfront, you can catch a boat over to the tiny Borromean Islands where you’ll find opulent Baroque palaces and lavish botanical gardens. For sweeping panoramas of the whole region, hop on the cable car to the summit of Monte Mattarone.

Throughout your trip you’ll be staying at one of Lake Maggiore’s most prestigious hotels, the Grand Hôtel des Îles Borromées, which was where Ernest Hemingway stayed during his frequent visits to the region. Today, the hotel still boasts the ‘Hemingway Suite’ alongside extensive gardens, an indulgent spa and impeccable views over the lake, islands and Alps beyond.

“EXCELLENT HISTORICAL TRIP”

A smooth and personalised booking process as always. The itinerary included clear documentation and a series of fascinating, off-the-beaten-track tours, all delivered with a thoughtful and personal touch.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”

I’ve been on several small group holidays with The Ultimate Travel Company and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.

“AMAZING TRAVEL ADVISOR, WILL DEFINITELY BOOK WITH THEM AGAIN! ”

Claire, our South America & Polar specialist, was fantastic from start to finish. She answered every question, addressed all our concerns and created a detailed itinerary that made exploring Antarctica easy and stress-free. The personalised travel folder and luggage tags were a lovely surprise. We loved working with the team and can’t wait to plan our next adventure with them.
