Things To Do

Libreria Alberti

14/15 Piazza San Vittore, Intra

Need a gift to bring home? May we suggest the family bookstore? Founded by Simo's grandfather in 1954, here you will find a plethora of books and gifts for the whole family. There is also a second location located in Stresa.

Borromeo Island Tour

Isola Bella is an absolute must, but we recommend checking out all the islands while in town. Tickets can be bought at the Stresa harbor or booked online in advance.

Ittico Fish Bar

17 Viale Vittorio Tonolli, Pallanza

Where we spend most of our evenings for aperitivo! Ittico has undeniable lake views and immaculate vibes.

La Casera

Piazza Daniele Ranzoni 19, Verbania

While everything here is to die for, we recommend the 'i taglieri' because it's perfect for sampling a little of all the meats and cheeses.

Dali – Ristorante Pizzeria Lounge Bar

32 Corso Goffredo Mameli, Intra

This is our favorite place for a cappuccino and croissant. The views are everything here!

Gelato d'Altri Tempi

38 Via San Fabiano, Intra

By Italian law, you must enjoy one gelato a day! This is our favorite spot, but honestly, you can't go wrong anywhere you wander.

Sky Bar at Hotel La Palma

33 Corso Umberto I, Stresa

The views are breathtaking, especially at sunset! A reservation is recommended, but not required.
