Stresa: lake Maggiore - Italy , its mountains,
its life

The name of Stresa first appeared in documents dated 998; it has been under the jurisdiction and therefore property of Borromei and Visconti families until the 19th century, when, thanks to the presence of famous personages like Rosmini, Manzoni and the Duchess of Genoa, that is Elizabeth of Sassonia, Stresa began to gain prestige.
The construction of the Simplon railway, at the beginning of the 20th century, gave Stresa international fame.
From the promenade, sprinkled with grand hotels, villas, parks and gardens, you can have a magnificent view of the three islands, and of the Alps far away.
The nearness of big cities, such as Turin and Milan as well as their airports, the Congress Centre, the hotels which combine up-to-date facilities with a long tradition of hospitality, the breath-taking beauty of gardens and parks, the mild climate, and many other characteristics, all makes Stresa an ideal place for the tourist.
