Itineraries
DAY 1
MILAN – LAKE ORTA (90 KM) – STRESA (25 KM) – BORROMEAN ISLANDS - COMO (90 KM)
Departure at 08.30 am from Milan to Lake Orta, a small and charming lake situated in the North-eastern side of the region Piedmont. Stop in the beautiful village of Orta San Giulio for a short visit. Then, tour by private boat to reach the island of San Giulio, just in front of the village: it is the pearl of the lake, almost entirely occupied by the Monastery Mater Ecclesie, famous for studies on antique books and the Romanesque basilica of Saint Julius. After a short visit, back to Orta and departure to Stresa, on Lake Maggiore, one of the largest Italian ones. Wedged between the foothills, and of clear glacial origin, it is framed in its lower section by the soft hills of the region of Novara, and in the upper section, by high mountain peaks, some of which with perpetual snow. These features make possible an average temperature during all seasons; due to its mild climate, many species of flowers and plants typical to the sub-tropical climate could adapt to the lake areas climate. Arrival to Stresa, an international tourist resort situated in a central but also panoramic and picturesque position along the lakeside roadway, stands just in front of the Borromean islands. Lunch at your own. In the afternoon, tour of the Isola del Pescatori by private boat. The island name is due to the activity of fishermen since the ancient time. Although only few families still maintain the original activity, the identity of the small community appears intact. Tourists are fascinated by its simple houses, the narrow lanes, the stone portals and the attractive underpasses. We will continue to the Isola Bella, elegant and charming. Return to Stresa and departure to Como. Overnight at the hotel.DAY 2
COMO – BELLAGIO (30 KM) – BERGAMO OLD AND NEW TOWN (65 KM)
Breakfast at the hotel. Today or tomorrow, depending on the weather, you will be invited to taste a typical Italian aperitive with Prosecco, a great white wine in its dry version. Short visit of Como. An amazing small town rich of atmospheres, panoramas and human takeovers. In little kilometres you can admire the high mountains over the lake, the wild alpine valley and the industrialized area. The lake is famous for its setting at the intersection of the three branches of the Y-shaped lake, and it is also known as Lario. Divided in three branches, is situated at the bottom of the most renowned peaks of the Italian landscape. On a panoramic street aside the lake we reach Bellagio, situated at the tip of the peninsula separating the lake's two southern arms, with the Alps visible across the lake to the north. It is a picturesque village with small streets, luxury hotels and villas and gardens. Visit. Lunch at your own. In the afternoon, departure with panoramic route along the lake side to Bergamo. City characterized by a division of the urban structure on two levels, the “Lower town” (Città bassa), modern and dynamic and the famous “Upper town” (Città alta), a truly historic and artistic jewel.

A rich vegetation flourishes thanks to the Mediterranean climate: lemon trees, oleanders, magnolias and bougainvilleas. The cultivation of vineyards and olive groves produces good wines and olive oil.

VERONA – LAKE ISEO (90 KM) – MILAN (95 KM)
Breakfast at the hotel and visit of the famous city of Verona. It is a work of art in itself: a fascinating crossroad of historical periods and cultures (classical and Germanic), a blend of both Nordic and Mediterranean influences; the city is at the same time ancient and modern. A walk through its narrow streets allows us to get in touch with its varied and fascinating past: traces of its splendid Roman origins, its prevailing medieval structure dating back to the time of knights and castles, its magnificent Renaissance palaces as well as the impressive fortifications which protect it. A suggestive blend of art and history which continuously fascinates the onlooker.

BERGAMO – TRADITIONAL CUISINE
“Osteria di Valenti” Restaurant
Our mission: Quality and tradition always at the customer’s service.
The Osteria di Valenti was born in the 70s managed directly by the founder of the family. The small shop has undergone a transformation over time to become a real tavern in the 90s, serving quality cutting boards and selected meats.
In 2017 the property passed to Marco Maffeis, a well-known restaurant manager and professional sommelier. In 2018 the restaurant underwent a careful restoration and a partial change of course by including in addition to grilled meat, traditional Bergamo dishes and a careful selection of local cheeses from our valleys. The fresh pastas are handcrafted, while the desserts are homemade. the menu is periodically revisited and seasonally. In winter, upon reservation, it is possible to taste the mixed boiled meat with its sauces and its tasty “little pig” with polenta. For lovers of grilled meat, Fiorentina di Scottona Garronese is served on hot lava stone. the Osteria also offers prestigious national wines, with particular attention to local wines.
