"I found the Borromean Islands on Lake Maggiore—Isola Bella, Isola Madre, and Isola Superiore—to be elegant destinations in the hands of the Borromeo family since the 1600s, with Isola Bella’s opulent Baroque palace and terraced Italian gardens (complete with roaming peacocks) and Isola Madre’s sprawling English-style gardens and exotic plants." - Sarah James, Lucrezia Worthington
