What travelers say:

If Isola Bella is a symbol of the rich and grandeur, Pescatoli (Isola dei Pescatori) is the embodiment of the common people and simple labor. There are many typical fishermen's houses on the island (so the island is called Fisherman's Island), and a 15th century church. Around the island are boats, modern powerboats, old fishing boats, and can still see dry-dried wood frames, brackets and other fishing gear. It is also Hemingway's favorite refuge. Pescatori is very small, a 20-minute walk to travel around the city - but the alleys are very dense, full of petty bourgeois villas and restaurants. Although not as prosperous as the two islands in front, it has been listed as a business district, and many people choose to rest here to taste local food or buy some souvenirs to take home. Tired of walking, sit in the lakeside cafe and order a cup of Italian coffee, backed by the white peaks, facing the dark blue lake, watching the water birds rise up, quietly enjoying life, even if you don't do anything, the leisurely stroll is also very pleasant.
