Davide of Umbrella Tours was extremely knowledgeable of the Lake Maggiore area. He filled our visit of Stressa, Isola Bella and Isola Pescatori with interesting facts and stories. Davide is very personable and fun to be with. When traveling northern Italy we would 100% suggest hiring David as a personal guide!

Spacious, clean, with space and comfort. An awakening full of views of Lake Maggiore. Very close by car to the center of Stressa, from where boats depart to the Borromean Islands

The Palais Borromée is a small wonder both from the point of view of the treasures it houses (paintings, moldings, statues...) and its garden cut with rope.

Our guide was amazing, he knew all of the history and details along the way. Fabulous story telling as we worked our way through the palace and gardens. He was even flexible with the start time for us.
