The gardens at Isola Bella
The rose is Claire Matin

Plenty of white peacocks in the gardens


Napolean slept here!

Inside the Isola Bella Palace. Started in the 15 Century, left unfinished but started to complete 300 years later.
Isola Bella Palace and Gardens on an Island just off Stresa.

A new bob sled circuit just about completed. Too scary for us but Justin might like it.

The Alpine garden on the way to Mottarone

Took the cable car from Stresa to Mottarone. Takes about 20 mins. Then free chairlift to the top of a ski field.
