Isola de Bella is on Lake Maggiore.
Building started in 1650 by Count Borromeo who converted a barren rock into a 'palace of delights'.
Lots of chandeliers, dodgy paintings and crazy OTT furniture but the gardens and views from the palace were fantastic.
Added to by the sounds of the X-cats (speed boats) world championships racing round the island.
