    Palazzo Borromeo, located on Isola Bella in Stresa, Italy, offers visitors a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of the Borromeo family. The palace, with its baroque architecture and lavish interiors, showcases an impressive collection of art, furniture, and tapestries from the 16th to 19th centuries. Many visitors appreciate the grand rooms, particularly the Hall of Mirrors and the Throne Room, for their ornate decorations and historical significance. The palazzo's terraced gardens, often referred to as the Italian-style gardens, are a highlight for many, featuring exotic plants, statues, and peacocks roaming freely. Some reviewers note that the tour can feel rushed at times, especially during peak season, and that the cost of admission is relatively high. However, most agree that the combination of the palace's rich history, stunning views of Lake Maggiore, and the beauty of the gardens make it a worthwhile experience. Keep in mind that photography is not allowed inside the palace, which disappoints some visitors. Overall, Palazzo Borromeo provides an interesting look into Italian aristocratic life and baroque art, set against the backdrop of a picturesque lake setting.
