Isola dei Pescatori

Lovely little island with colorful vegetation, definitely place to visit when on Lake Maggiore.

A charming little island full of restaurants. We chose this one island when we were with kids to he easy and be able to eat our way from one end to another. I could throw a tennis ball from one end the the other

Nice island. It was heavy rain when we went but still nice place. Expensive and some cafes are rubbish while charging high prices. Microwaved lasagne which was cold in the middle and beef ragu where the pasta had dried out and was inedible

Our favorite island to spend the day hanging out, Having a nice meal and people watching

Isola dei Pescatori (meaning Fishermen’s Island) is an island in Lake Maggiore in northern Italy. As the most northerly of the three principal Borromean Islands it is also known as Isola Superiore and, with a population of 25 in 2018, it is the only one to be inhabited all year round. Unlike Isola Bella and Isola Madre, the island has never belonged to the Borromeo family. The island is about 375 metres long by 100 metres wide. A narrow street running along its spine is joined by cobbled alleys to the promenade that encircles the island. The promenade is frequently flooded and the houses built against it are constructed to allow for this. The church of San Vittore (Victor the Moor) retains traces of an ancient chapel that was probably constructed for the monks of Scozzòla (an abbey of San Donato di Sesto Calende founded by Liutardo, bishop of Pavia, in the mid ninth century. The church was previously dedicated to S. Gangolfo (Gangulphus), whose veneration is linked with the Abbey of San Donato.

Beautiful small tourist island, many restaurants & shops, narrow alleys, small park.

Nice place to come back after 9 years

Me and hubby decided to have lunch in this islet, one of the many tourist destinations in Lake Maggiore, nice place, with narrow alleys, small craft shops where you can buy items to bring back home or as a souvenir, several restaurants, there are houses with long balconies for drying fish. Together with the other islands of Isole Borromeo, this is worth visiting !!

Love this place. So many artisan shops and stalls to buy souvenirs. Why not swim in the lake- the waters so clear and refreshing. Carmen provides great food and service.

Amazing restaurants and beautiful! For the whole family!! Definitely recommend for a weekend or a day trip

Nice place to visit, and very good restaurants with all sorts of food
