Ce fut un voyage dépaysant, pleins de souvenirs, de belles rencontres. Nos excursions furent magnifiques avec un dépassement de soi. Nos lieux de séjour extraordinaire. Une bienveillance d'Anaïs lors de mon stress pour l'enregistrement des billets mais aussi pour toute la programmation de notre voyage. Nous sommes revenus avec pleins de souvenirs.

Mon mari et moi avons passé une superbe expérience avec Vialala et Damien ! Nous avons passé 10 jours aux États-Unis. Vols + Hôtel + location de voiture + matchs NFL. Ils ont réalisé mon rêve de voir des matchs NFL avec mes équipes préférées en étant au plus proche des joueurs. Damien a su comprendre nos envies et créer un voyage sur mesure, parfaitement adapté à nos attentes. Je recommande vivement ! Emanuel et Christelle

Première expérience Vialala pour nous avec Xavier pour notre Road Trip de découverte de la corse. Xavier à été très impliqué, disponible, et à l'écoute. Il nous à monté un super projet; a su le modifier au besoin lorsque nous avons rajouté un voyageur. Nous étions en contact tout le temps du séjour. Le circuit à été programmé, les hébergements, les vols, la locations des voitures ainsi que les visites et randos ! Programme complet. Mention ++ pour la rapidité de réponse. C'est une expérience que nous pourrions réitérer. MERCI

Première expérience pour nous avec Vialala, et pas des moindres puisque nous avons fait un road trip à travers l'Italie avec nos enfants. Natacha nous a concocté un voyage aux petits oignons, adapté à notre demande et à l'âge de nos enfants. Tout était adapté et parfait : les villes visitées, la durée, les monuments sélectionnés, les transports. Bref aucune fausse note et quel gain de temps et d'énergie pour nous. Plus qu'à se laisser porter et visiter ce magnifique pays en famille. Nous recommandons sans hésiter.

Un immense merci à Vialala pour ce road trip incroyable. L’itinéraire nous a fait découvrir de véritables pépites locales tout en nous offrant les paysages spectaculaires du Maroc. Tout s est très bien passé. Au delà de nos attentes ! C'est rare de trouver ce niveau de personnalisation et d’attention ….On rentre avec des étoiles plein les yeux et des souvenirs qui resteront gravés. Une organisation avec du cœur et une vraie expertise locale ! On pense déjà au voyage de l année prochaine !

Update - May 2026 : nouvelle experience plus que réussie. Pour faire simple Vialala = personnalisation + expertise + service + prix malins. Je ne compte plus les voyages avec eux. À la liste précédente s’ajoutent la Sicile, New York et le Japon. Cette fois-ci, je reviens d’un road trip en Harley et 4x4 au Maroc. À huit. Nous avons tout eu du B&B improbable à Tafraoute au palace à Marrakech, cols de l’Atlas, Anti Atlas. Que des conseils de malade que ce soit les itinéraires ou les bonnes adresses. Cahier des charges compliqué, logistique compliquée et le tout à été délivré sans accrocs dans un budget serré. J’adore leur approche. Pas un télé opérateur qui vend des produits, c’est comme un ami qui aurait vécu sur place. (Revue 2023) Vialala nous a fait découvrir Cuba, l’Ecosse, Montréal et bientôt le Botswana. A chaque fois ils ont été au top. La grosse différence c’est le niveau de personnalisation qui avoisine un service de conciergerie. On ne s’arrête pas à un programme avec eux. Si le temps change et que telle activité n’est plus possible, leur trip planner est là pour revoir le programme. Si on a besoin d’un service logistique ou d’un conseil pour un resto une fois sur place c’est pareil. Franchement une super formule. Merci

The Borromean Islands archipelago is the highlight of your customized trip to Stresa. These three exceptional islands are ideally discovered during private boat excursions, organized according to your timing preferences and interests.
Isola Bella dazzles with its seventeenth-century Baroque palace and terraced gardens.

Your personalized visit allows you to explore the historic apartments and stroll through the splendid gardens at your own pace.
Isola Madre, the largest of the three islands, enchants with its exceptional botanical garden.

Your customized stay includes a thorough exploration of this botanical paradise, far from the crowds.
Isola dei Pescatori, an authentic fishing village, retains its old-world charm with its narrow streets and colorful houses. This year-round inhabited island offers a gourmet break in its typical restaurants, selected by our experts for their authenticity.
Your customized journey to Stresa reveals an elegant town marked by history. The 2-kilometer lake promenade is the vibrant heart of the resort. Lined with magnolias and azaleas, it offers stunning views of the Borromean Islands and the Swiss Alps.
The historic center reveals its secrets during custom-guided walks. The Church of San Vittore, from the sixteenth century, and the Ducal Villa bear witness to the city's rich past. Your customized itinerary includes the discovery of Belle Époque palaces that hosted European aristocracy, including the Grand Hotel of the Borromean Islands where Ernest Hemingway stayed.

This excursion, integrated into your customized trip, allows you to admire a landscape extending from Lake Maggiore to Lake Orta, up to the peaks of Monte Rosa and the Matterhorn.
Your personalized stay in Stresa opens the doors to remarkable botanical gardens. The Villa Taranto, located in Verbania 15 minutes from Stresa, houses one of the most beautiful botanical gardens in Europe. Created by Scottish captain Neil McEacharn in the 1930s, this 16-hectare garden gathers more than 20,000 plant species from around the world.
The gardens of Villa San Remigio, perched on the heights of Verbania, offer a spectacular view of Lake Maggiore. This nineteenth-century villa and its terraced gardens form an exceptional green setting, accessible during private tours organized by our Travel Planners.
Around the lake, other botanical wonders enrich your customized trip. The gardens of Villa Pallavicino, an 18-hectare zoological and botanical park, house more than 40 species of animals in a remarkable landscaped setting.

The choice of the period greatly influences your travel experience in Stresa. Each season offers its advantages for a personalized stay in the Italian lakes region.
| Period | Temperature | Advantages | Disadvantages |

| June-August | 22-28°C | Ideal climate, all activities possible | High tourist influx |

Spring transforms Stresa into a giant garden. The magnificent gardens of the Borromean Islands and Villa Taranto burst into colors with the blooming of camellias, rhododendrons, and azaleas. This period, from March to May, is perfect for botanical enthusiasts and photographers.
Summer provides optimal conditions for all water-based activities. Your boat excursions occur under perfect conditions, and evenings on the terraces facing Lake Maggiore become unforgettable. Our Travel Planners organize your visits early in the morning or late in the afternoon to avoid the crowds.
Autumn charms with its mildness and vibrant colors. The surrounding vineyards dress in gold and purple, creating an exceptionally romantic setting. This season is ideally suited for couples seeking an intimate atmosphere for their customized trip.
Winter reveals a more confidential Stresa. Although some gardens are dormant, the Borromean Islands retain their charm, and the palaces can be visited in a subdued atmosphere. Our local experts take advantage of this period to introduce you to local traditions and Piedmontese gastronomy.
A stay of 4 to 5 days allows for a comfortable exploration of Stresa and the Borromean Islands. This duration provides enough time to visit the three islands, explore the botanical gardens, and participate in personalized excursions around Lake Maggiore. Our Travel Planners can also organize extensions to other Italian lakes for a trip of 7 to 10 days.
Your customized trip to Stresa introduces you to Piedmontese and Lombard gastronomy. Specialties include risotto with gorgonzola, fish from Lake Maggiore such as perch and pike, not to mention local wines like Nebbiolo and Barbera. Our experts select the best dining spots, from Michelin-starred restaurants to authentic family trattorias.
Your transportation is organized according to your preferences by our local partners. Private boat-taxi is the most elegant way to reach the Borromean Islands and explore the shores of the lake. For land excursions to Villa Taranto or Lake Orta, our private drivers accompany you in comfortable vehicles. The public navigation service complements these options for maximum flexibility.
