Lakes District
Lake Maggiore
If Lake Como is stylish, then Lake Maggiore is relaxed, with its cute towns of Stresa and Arona, the Borromean Islands and more. The Lakes District offers Italian countryside living, yet is close to Milan and its wonderful shopping, dining, culture, art and opera at La Scala. Take the ferry from Arona to Locarno in Switzerland, and then head to your lakeside home on a train with breathtaking vistas through the Swiss Alps. But perhaps it will be your daily lakeside strolls from town to town you will remember most, getting in synch with the relaxed pace of life here.
