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.

A superb escorted tour with outstanding attention to detail throughout. There was always a representative on hand to help, and the guide was excellent, making the whole experience smooth, enjoyable and well organised.

“INDIA AT ITS MOST INCREDIBLE”

Unbelievably brilliant from start to finish. The Ultimate Travel Company gave us complete flexibility while tailoring the trip to our personal preferences. Communication was excellent throughout, and the in-country team in India was super-efficient at every stage. The quality of the experience was exceptional – and the value for money, remarkable. From expert naturalists to thrilling wildlife encounters (tigers, leopards, 140 species of birds), awe-inspiring temples, the Taj Mahal, scenic walks and warm, welcoming people – not to mention the fantastic curry – it was a truly superb holiday. “Ultimate” really is “The Ultimate Travel Company”!
