ITALIAN LAKES WALKING ITINERARY
Trip Length: 7 days/6 nights
Start/Finish: Milan/Milan Settling in for dinner on the
shores of Lago Maggiore we cannot help our wonderment at the
contrasts swirling around us: the shimmering lights of lakeside
palazzi dance deftly at the foot of the rugged Alps as we enjoy
a delicate dish of fresh fish dockside at our luxury hotel,
flanked by alpine homes and their mountain people inhabitants.
Another contrast: Where much of Italy is built for bikes, the
Lakes are made to be explored by boat and foot – it's a fitting
enhancement to the romance of a region that has been a
playground of the glitterati for decades.
Trip Highlights:
- Take in all three Italian Lakes from the top of Mt.
Mottarone before beginning your journey
- Tour the palace, galleries and gardens of Isola Bella
- Trace Hemingway's A Farewell To Arms route along the
western shore of Lago Maggiore by private boat
- Wake the promenades of the elegant city of Lugano,
Switzerland, before settling down to a totally unique Swiss
dining experience
- Hike down Mt. Bré – the views are incomparable – after
riding a circa 1908 cog railway to the top
- Explore chic Bellagio, “the pearl of Lake Como”

Accommodations:
Grand Hotel des Iles Borromées, Stresa
Overlooking Lake Maggiore with the splendour of a late 19thC
resort, it is easy to see why this enchanting five-star hotel
has welcomed famous guests from Leopold II and Rockefeller to
Hemingway and Clark Gable.
Villa Castagnola, Lugano
Small Luxury Hotels of the World
On the shores of Lake Lugano, the Villa Castagnola is a
luxurious property surrounded by sub-tropical flora. Our days of
walking can be rewarded by time in the hotel’s Turkish hammam.
All rooms offer stunning views of the lake.
Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni, Bellagio
The Villa Serbelloni was one of the most famous stops along
the 19thC grand tour of the lakes. Not much has changed today.
Set in the Como Lake district, the hotel is decorated in a
neo-classical style, with refined interiors.
