Stresa - With spectacular views of Lake Maggiore and the distant Alps, the quaint town of Stresa is a gem in Italy’s Piedmont region. One visit and you will see why Europe’s nobility frequented these serene shores; their many villas can be seen throughout the area. Ernest Hemingway also brought the town fame when he used one of its hotels as a setting in his novel Farewell to Arms. In addition to its beautiful promenades and gardens, you can enjoy delicious local cuisine including some of Italy’s best pizza. Locally grown mushrooms and chestnuts are also a favorite.
Verona - This picturesque Veneto city is home to myriad artworks, monuments, churches and Roman ruins - like the awe inspiring Roman Arena. While strolling it's piazzas, streets; and colorful shops and markets, one must note the bronze maps still embedded into its sidewalks. And who could miss the house where Romeo professed his love to Juliet?
