About this ebook
To the tourist, who for the first time arrives in Stresa, a breathless sight is offered. In the beginning, a superb window of the lakefront, delineated with lines of palm trees, with flourishing gardens and facades of grand hotels. Then, turning to look at the lake, enchanted, as if emerging from the same waters the spectacular Borromean Islands (Isola Bella, Isola Madre, and Isola dei Pescatori).
It is enough the splendor of these visions to make one understand how Stresa has been able to become one of the maximum meetings of international tourism. Stresa, already in the middle half of the 19th century was the most elegant place to stay, the most visited by the international upper middle class.
