The lakes and islands of Piedmont provide the best opportunities to be close to the water in one of the few landlocked regions of Italy. The largest expanse of water in Piedmont is Lake Maggiore which the region shares with Lombardy. In the middle of Lake Maggiore are the beautiful Borromean Islands of Isola dei Pescatori, Isola Bella and Isola Madre, the last two of which are dominated by spectacular gardens.
To the west of Lake Maggiore lies Lake Orta which is fringed by charming lake resorts such as Orta San Giulio, Pella and Omegna, while the idyllic Isola San Giulio sits calmly out in the water. |
