Views of Northern Italy's peaceful Lake Maggiore don't come much better than this. It's a scene best admired from the private balcony of this smart townhouse perched on the hillsides overlooking the Borromeo's islands. Inside, the newly refurbished, pared-back interiors are perfect for a fuss-free stay for two, and the pretty suntrap garden to soak up the Italian sunshine is a nice touch. You'll need a car here as it's pretty remote with no amenities to walk to – but don't let that put you off. Stresa's regal seafront promenade and cobbled streets bustling with trattorias are just a five-minute drive away.

About Lake Maggiore
A jewel in the crown of the Italian lakes, a trip to Lake Maggiore is, in fact, an international affair. Split between Italy and southern Switzerland, this exquisite lake isn’t to be missed on an Alpine getaway. Pastel sunsets and silhouetted peaks make this spot an artist’s paradise, and just 37km from Lake Como, Maggiore is a welcome escape from nearby tourist traps.
