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.

The terrace on the 7th floor of Hotel La Palma houses Sky Bar, a unique location in the area, listed among the best rooftop bars in the world (Vogue and Rooftop Guide). Here the lift opens the doors to a priceless view of Lake Maggiore and introduces you to a special place, where you can spend a few hours chatting, listening to good music and enjoying signature cocktails. You will find a charming Sky Pool, comfortable sofas, design lamps and a large gazebo to enjoy a drink in the open air. Sky Bar is also open to non-residents of the Hotel, seasonally (May-October) every day from 12:30 to 00:30. Access may be denied in case of large attendance or private events and in case of bad weather. Table reservations can be made for a minimum of 6 people. Table bookings are allowed by a minimum of 6 persons.
This is simply a great bar. Someone said it is among the top 10 rated rooftop bars. I believe it. The atmosphere, view, service and drinks are all top rate. it is not cheap, but then again you get what you pay for. This is the only place I went in Italy that understood how to serve a double Tanqueray on the rocks. But the craft cocktails that others ordered were prepared very well. If ever in Stresa you must come here for at least one drink.

Piroscafo Lombardia era in Navigazione sul Lago Maggiore entrò in servizio nel maggio 1909 e fu l'ultimo e più grande dei piroscafi a ruote del Verbano (lunghezza 52,2 metri, capienza 700 passeggeri), divenendo l'ammiraglia della flotta del lago. Nel 1923, con il passaggio di gestione alla Società Subalpina Imprese Ferroviarie, lo scafo venne ridipinto di nero. Scampato agli attacchi aerei della 2 guerra mondiale.Nel 1958 venne però ritirato dal servizio privato dell'apparato motore e venduto ad un privato.Subì alcune modifiche come la chiusura del ponte superiore (ma il fumo rimase intatto) e la copertura del ponte di coperta, ma la maggior parte delle caratteristiche preesistenti rimase intatta. Dal 1969 è ormeggiato ad Arona, vicino ai cantieri navali, utilizzato dapprima come discoteca e poi come ristorante. Attualmente è un Bistrot pugliese con 9 spine del noto Birrificio piemontese Baladin.Terrazza situata a prua coperta, Bar,saletta a poppa chiusa
