Touring the castle! Rooms were elegant and the apartment complex made of pebbles was especially amazing! The gardens were beautiful!

The ticket sellers at the car park were very pushy, explaining in a mixture of Italian, English and German what was or wasn't included for €15 per person. The third island wasn't visited... we couldn't understand why not because of the language confusion, but the price remained the same. Only the captain of the small boat was very helpful when getting on and off.

Totalmente disorganizzati, mancanza totale di informazioni al molo, arrivano a isola Bella barche a caso per Pescatori, Stresa, confusione totale. Rischi che sia pieno e aspetti boh e a Stresa puoi pagare solo in contanti

Abbiamo visitato Isola Bella partendo da Stresa con fermate a Isola Madre e all'Isola dei Pescatori. Il comandante è stato molto gentile ed i battelli sono arrivati in orario ed eravamo comodi e distanziati. Bellissima gita che consiglio a tutti.
