Isola Bella (“Beautiful Island”) is a famous and picturesque island in Lake Maggiore. The shape of the island resembles a ship with the majestic Borromeo Palace located at the front and the enchanting, terraced gardens forming the back. While the palace is home to an impressive art collection and sumptuous rooms, the gardens feature a ten-tiered pyramidal garden that rises 37 meters (121 feet) into the air. Buona visita!
