Lake Maggiore

What people say

"Named by the Romans "Maximus" (or Maggiore) this lake is the second largest in Italy. A popular weekend gateway for Italian families from the big cities. Among Lake Maggiore's towns you have definitely to visit Stresa and its Borromean Islands, Baveno, Angera and Cannobio. It's also wonderful to swim: relax on one of its beaches or just rent a boat to enjoy the views from the water."
