On the south side of the Alps, Lake Maggiore is the second largest lake in Italy. Since the climate is mild year-round, the area is filled with Mediterranean vegetation and exotic plants. Lake Maggiore was featured in Ernest Hemingway's infamous novel, A Farewell to Arms, when the protagonist and his lover must row across the lake in order to escape the Italian Carabinieri (think police in military uniforms). Here's hoping you won't have any run-ins of that nature.
Lake Maggiore—one of the largest lakes in Italy—is known for its Alpine splendor, and the resort town of Stresa is a perfectly elegant place to admire its beauty. A quick trip from Milan, the town features opulent villas, pretty piazzas, and the storied Grand Hotel.
