Stop At: Isola Madre, Italy

The Madre island is the largest of the Borromean Islands. An immense botanical garden where thousands of varieties of plants manage to recreate their own habitat in which they grow luxuriantly, creating curious color combinations that would leave the most daring painter amazed. The first works of transformation into a private residence were carried out by Count Lancelot Boorromeo at the beginning of the sixteenth century. The palace is interesting for the perfectly reconstructed period rooms. Exceptional exhibition of the "Teatrini delle Marionette" of the '600.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Island of the Fishermen (Isola dei Pescatori), Italy

It is the smallest but certainly not the least fascinating of the Borromean Islands, strolling along its narrow alleys you will discover enchanting views. The ancient village is characterized by a maze of narrow streets and the Church of San Vittore, elected as a national monument, which still preserves the original apse with single-light windows dating back to the 11th century.
