Villa Borromeo is located on the Island Madre and can be reached only by boat. Since we recommend you to start your journey from Stresa, you can take the boat from Stresa docks.
Here, you will be able to see various private boat operators who will take you to visit the Fishermen’s Island.
The best option might be not only to visit Villa Borromeo and the Island Madre, but all tree islands of 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.
