Park Pallavicino

Villa Pallavicino was a private residence in 1855, when it was purchased by Ruggero Bonghi, statesman and writer. In 1862 the ownership was transferred to the noble Genoese Pallavicino family who enlarged the estate, transforming it into a nineteenth-century neoclassical style villa. In 1956 the Pallavicino family decided to transform their marvellous garden into a wildlife museum open to the public. In July 2017, the Pallavicino Park became part of the Borromeo tourist circuit. The trees are the greatest feature of this park: centuries old chestnut trees and liriodendrons, among the oldest in Italy, red beeches, maples, larches, the majestic ginko biloba, tall sequoias and fragrant magnolias. A real attraction is the imposing cedar of Lebanon, in the natural amphitheatre outside the villa.

Beautiful gardens just a short walk (15 minutes approximately) from Stresa centre, with a little (outside eating ) cafe when you reach, probably half way. COVID friendly and safe. Temperature taken on entry. Social distancing throughout the gardens is observed, masks too where appropriate! There are also transport cars, accommodating anyone who can’t, or doesn’t want to, walk quite high up! Coming down is no problem! The farm and free roaming animals are great to see as well. Beautiful views over the Lake too.

The Chestnut Route

Reviewed By nielk2019 - Kidderminster, United Kingdom

This is a beautiful, very scenic walk through woodland near Stresa. It's a lovely walk, six miles in total end to end. We did it on a hot day, so the tree cover was very welcome. The walk is quite challenging at times, not suitable for very small children unless you can carry them! The walk in ambiguous in places, make sure you take a map and have a fully charged mobile phone. Make sure you take food and drinks with you, as there are not many cafes or restaurants on the way, until you reach the end of the walk. At the end, we grabbed a very welcome drink by the lake, and then hopped on a bus back to Stresa. Would highly recommend this walk.
