In 1632 Carlo III Borromeo decided to start building a palace for his wife Isabella d'Adda, chose a nude island placed in front of Stresa, Verbano where it flows into the Gulf of the river Toce. The work suffered a setback in mid-seventeenth century because of the plague developed in the duchy of Milan, but were resumed with renewed vigor by the sons of Charles III: Cardinal Giberto III (1615-1672) and especially V italiano VI ( 1620-1690). This had the merit to entrust the completion of the work of the famous Roman architect Carlo Fontana.
The opening of the gardens instead of 1671, with Charles IV (1657-1734) scholar and art lover himself. In the late eighteenth / early nineteenth century, the palace was visited by Napoleon and Josephine de Beauharnais and Princess of Wales, Caroline Amelia of Brunswick.
