Overview
Perhaps more than any other Lake Maggiore town, Stresa, with a ringside view of sunrise over the lake, captures the lake's prevailing air of elegance and bygone decadence. This is most evident in the string of belle-茅poque confections along the waterfront, a legacy of the town鈥檚 easy access from Milan, which has made it a favourite for artists and writers since the late 19th century.
