Villa La Brisina | Lake Maggiore, Italy | Lake Como Rentals

Villa La Brisina a lovely vacation rental, is just 3 km from the town of Stresa, the most popular destination on Lake Maggiore. Enjoy a stroll along the lakeside promenade or walk through the narrow alley ways with owner managed shops and many cafés and restaurants.

Easy one day trips to explore the cities of Milan, Pavia or Turin, the famous Piedmont vineyards, the romantic Lake Orta and its “holy mountain” and island or the extensive trekking through the valleys behind the villa and beyond are also possible.
