Verbania: tra incanto e poesia

Magic and romance, this is hidden in each lake. Whatever it is, wherever it is. In any season and at any time of day.

The lake has always been a rich reminder of charm and surprises. Sunrises and sunsets painted by a thousand shades like a painter's palette. Of pages read on a bench and colorful flowers that perfume the air and make Verbania a lakeside garden overlooking the Borromeo Gulf. A place full of charm and poetry, able to seduce and enthrall with its timeless beauty.

On the shore slopes gently to the lake, Verbania is a succession of luxurious villas and lush gardens.

It has always been a destination for elite travelers, such as painters and poets in search of inspiration. Cured and equipped Verbania looks like a balcony from which to enjoy magnificent views of the lake, such as Villa Giulia or Villa Rusconi Clerici.

Overlooking the gulf you can see Isola Madre and in the background Isola Bella and Isola dei Pescatori. Set like jewels, starting from 800 were proudly displayed. Now easily accessible from Verbania by boat, to admire natural beauty, scenery and quaint villages that enchant and captivate with their beauty and poetry.

 Verbania, a postcard, of those who remember "La Dolce Vita" of the '60s.

 Here the houses are colorful, just like a child would do with his pastels, yellow, orange, pink and blue, the wind whispers names carried in the heart and Love strolling along the lake, in the gardens of Villa Taranto or enjoying a dinner as it likes, by candlelight, with watchful eyes that plunge into the lake illuminated by his majesty Moon.

Eremo di Santa Caterina del Sasso: un pomeriggio tra pace e natura

A panoramic staircase of 268 steps to reach the gem of Lake Maggiore: the Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso, where the mystic merges with the peace of nature, and the lake with the rock wall form a magnificent backdrop.
Perched on a cliff of rock face overlooking the lake, the Hermitage of Santa Caterina del Sasso is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful and fascinating scenery of Lake Maggiore.
Art and history are integrated beautifully in a natural setting among the most evocative, almost a balcony that juts out into the Gulf Borromeo, Stresa and the islands.
It founded in the thirteenth century by merchant Alberto Besozzi of Arolo, who, during a shipwreck, vowed to St. Catherine of refuge here in a cave. In 1195 he built a church to St. Catherine of Alexandria as a sign of public gratitude for favors received.
 The Hermitage combines a powerful spiritual energy to a special landscape beauty.
A magical place where time seems to stand still, able to transmit tranquility and peace. The perfect place to get lost to listen to own thoughts and heart. To spend an afternoon getting in touch with nature, soul, ego.
