Travel Guide Stresa

Famous tourist resort, Stresa can be proud of its historical buildings. You must admire its palaces and sumptuous villas, smell the Mediterranean and exotic essences of its gardens. Offshore, mythical islands appear at the rhythm of the boat. When the sons of good families made the grand tour of Italy, Stresa became the favorite vacation spot of rich dynasties. The Vanderbilts, the Rockefellers stayed there as well as writers, artists and actors such as Bernard Shaw, Hemingway and Clark Gable. They all praised the dolce vita on the shores of the magnificent lake, the skiing at Mottarone, the Grand Hotel of the Borromean Islands..
