"Paradise on earth" Isola Bella by Liolio

Isola Bella Travel Guide: 39 reviews and 135 photos

If you are going to visit Lago Maggiore or the surroundings, you should not miss Isola Bella for sure. Even its name says that it is a beautiful island! I was there in 2000, but I should say I feel like it was yesterday. Unforgettable memories! When we were going through the breathtaking gardens and dreaming about life in so nice Borromeo palace, one of my friends said: "If there is a paradice on earth, it's here!" It depends what you like, but I think everybody would love this small island and its white peacocks.
