The island Madre can be accessed only by boat departing from Stresa, Baveno, Verbania or Arona. Since we recommend you to start your journey from Stresa, you can take a boat from Stresa docks.
The best option might be not only to visit Island Madre, but all tree islands of the Borromeo Gulf. The same boat will take you on a 1-day tour.
The price is 15€ (return ticket per person). The boat tours start at 9:00am to 6:00pm.
(!) Please pay attention that this ticket does not include entrances to the villas or museums on any of these tree islands.
(!) Refund of the tickets can only be made due to bad weather
