In FORBES about Lake Maggiore and Stresa "Lake Maggiore ... provides a fabled landscape for weddings with a shoreline rimmed with colorful towns, villas and gardens, and a history of attracting European notables from Queen Victoria to Winston Churchill, who came to holiday here.", and "Villa Muggia in Stresa ... dating from the 19th century ... overlooks the lake and its islands and has a splendid garden with a grand fountain. A wedding reception can be held under a pretty marquee [with views of] the lake or inside the villa itself [decorated with] stuccoes and tapestries.”, and also "The historic Grand Hotel Iles de Borromees & Spa, also in Stresa, a regal Belle Epoque beauty where Ernest Hemingway once stayed and used as a setting in A Farewell to Arms, is another sought-after spot for wedding ceremonies and receptions"
