Isola dei Pescatori: A Living Gem on Lake Maggiore
Unlike the other islands, Isola dei Pescatori (also called Isola Superiore) is inhabited year-round.
With its narrow cobbled alleys, balconies over the water, fishing boats, artisan shops, and lakeside restaurants, it offers a truly authentic and heartfelt experience.
It’s a place to slow down — to wander, observe, and enjoy the beauty in small, meaningful details. That’s why choosing the right place to stay matters: somewhere peaceful, comfortable, and close to the departure piers — but away from the crowds.
Hartmann Feel at Home: Peace, Beauty, and Real Hospitality
Located in Gignese, at 700 meters altitude, Hartmann Feel at Home is a historic villa lovingly restored and surrounded by a private park with centuries-old trees, quiet corners, and panoramic views.
It’s the ideal place to stay near Isola dei Pescatori, but away from the busy tourist routes.
In just a few minutes, you can reach the piers in Stresa or Baveno, where boats regularly depart for the island.
