Isola Madre

An exotic oasis of peace and quiet.

The largest of the three islands is also the most tranquil, a place where time seems to slow down. Almost the entire island is occupied by a beautiful botanical garden with an exotic character, home to rare plants, century-old magnolias, water lilies and the famous, imposing Kashmir cypress.

As you stroll along its shaded paths, you may encounter white peacocks, pheasants and many other ornamental birds roaming freely.

At the centre stands the Renaissance palace, an elegant home to historic furnishings and a valuable collection of puppets and period theatre sets.

An essential stop to recharge, take in the beauty and leave the everyday behind.
