This celebrated 17th-century island garden floats like a galleon on the waters of Lake Maggiore, its great pyramid of terraces rising at the southern end to mimic a vessel's flat-topped stern. That this effect was intended can be deduced from Marc'Antonio dal Re's early 18th-century engraving, which includes the never-completed north of the island, extended to form a pointed prow.
I went to high school with the owner of the company who organized my honeymoon for myself and my now wife from Tokyo. We spent three short weeks seeing Piedmont and experiencing wine paradise there, then heading to Nice in France with our private driver and flying to Rome where honestly 4 days is NOT enough. They keep saying to spend more time and we could not agree more! You need to spend more time in many of these places. Over the course of our time in Italy we saw so much and loved it all, though Sicily and the Mondello estate they had at us, 2 minutes walk from the prettiest beach in the world was our favorite and Roberto the owners there who know Jess and her team made it so wonderful for us! We are planning on going back and even considering moving to Italy we had such a great time!
