Later in the afternoon, enjoy one of the highlights of your stay: a private sunset cruise across the Borromean Gulf, accompanied by a sparkling aperitif served on board while the golden light reflects across the lake.

The evening continues with a gourmet dinner in Stresa before returning by boat to Isola Bella.
