About this trip

Step aboard the Taroni Rosamond and be transported to an era of classic Italian elegance, where slow travel and breathtaking scenery redefine your sense of time. This half-day relaxing tour on Lake Maggiore offers a refined escape from the ordinary, surrounded by the polished wood and timeless charm of a vintage motorboat. Let the shimmering lake and alpine vistas set the tone for a few perfect hours of peace.

Departing from the romantic town of Stresa, the tour begins with a smooth cruise toward Isola Madre, the largest of the Borromean Islands. Here, you’ll admire its lush botanical gardens and serene atmosphere from the water, a prelude to the calming journey ahead. Next, drift by the storied Isola Bella, home to a majestic palace and cascading gardens that reflect in the lake’s mirror-like surface. The third stop brings you to Isola dei Pescatori, where you'll have the option to disembark and enjoy a stroll through the island's quaint alleys or a lakeside espresso. Finally, your captain will take you toward the lesser-known shores of Santa Caterina del Sasso, a dramatic hermitage perched on the cliffside, offering breathtaking photo opportunities.

What makes this experience truly unique is the vessel itself—the Taroni Rosamond is a beautifully restored wooden boat that embodies a bygone era of Italian craftsmanship. With limited passenger capacity, the atmosphere remains intimate and quiet, far removed from the hustle of larger tour boats. You’ll feel like a film star from the 1960s, gliding across the water with the sun on your face and a glass of prosecco in hand. The flexible itinerary, personal service, and unparalleled views make this half-day tour an ideal way to unwind, celebrate a special occasion, or simply soak in the beauty of Lake Maggiore in timeless style.
