Located within a 20.000 square meters park, with gorgeous views over the lake and mountains, Villa Alvino has been recently renovated. The villa overlooks the Borromean Gulf and islands: Isola dei Pescatori - a picturesque village populated by a community still dedicated to fishing, it hosts several typical restaurants with delicious courses of freshly caught fish from the lake; Isola Bella - hosts the majestic Borromean Palace, built in the XVII century, and its luxurious Italian garden; Isola Madre is entirely occupied by a botanic garden rich in rare plants and free animals and a palace from the XVI century, with an exhibition of historical puppets and paintings.
