The Birds and Flowers of Isola Madre. A Photo Essay
Isola Madre is like a bird sanctuary. And some incredible species can be found here, hiding among the luxurious vegetation. Ans since it is less crowded than Isola Bella, it makes for a relaxing stroll. The three Borromean Islands can be easily visited in one day, and are the highlights of the lake along with the gardens of Villa Taranto and a hike up Mottarone from where astonishing views of Lake Maggiore and the Alps can be admired.
We visited Isola Madre in collaboration with VisitStresa.com.
