Attractions

The proximity to Stresa, the fashionable and well-known lake resort, also offers many opportunities for a stay rich with cultural and sports attractions like for example: a visit to the Borromean Islands - Isola Bella, Isola Madre, Isola Pescatori – cultural beauties unique anywhere in the world, like the pleasure of visiting important Villas and Parks such as Villa Pallavicino, Villa Taranto, the Alpinia Botanical Gardens and like the historical Castle of Angera. An excursion to the nearby lakes of Orta and Mergozzo, or to Mottarone Mountain and the Centovalli (Hundred Valleys) makes a stay at Villa Dal Pozzo even more interesting, without forgetting a visit to historical churches and convents located just about everywhere, along the shore of the lake and in small villages in the hinterland. Without a doubt, the ancient monastery of Santa Caterina del Sasso is a fascinating example. The proximity to Milan, now the well-known capital of fashion and shopping, may attract you for a day's visit, if you wish, far away from the peace and quiet of the lake. A fast modern train service links the nearby metropolis in just 45 minutes.
