beautiful and palatial! this building was just what I was looking for as our first stop on the lakes breakfast was plentiful and in a great dining room bar was expensive and outdoor bar even more so but Spa made up for it - absolutely amazing! I loved every minute of that pool and the amenities of the Spa area. The room was small but beautifully appointed

The hotel is pretty dated and for the amount of money paid, I'd stay elsewhere next time. Pros: Breakfast buffet had a wide variety of food although not much hot food. Dining area is very nice. Gym is better than expected and the treatments area is well done. Cons: Hotel rooms don't receive any direct sunlight leaving the rooms always feeling kind of dark. They have thermostats but the hotel had no heating so had to sleep with an extra duvet and wore my fleece all the time. My biggest issue is with the staff and service. Some staff were super friendly and lovely and others were absolutely rude. My mother wanted to pay for lunch and the maître 'd practically threw the receipt at my mother and turned his back on her to answer the phone. There were a handful of rude micro aggressions that we experienced our 4 nights there. Next time I'd pay extra to stay at Boutique Hotel Stresa or save money and stay at a 4*.

Excellent! Would return- no hesitation

Overall very pleased. Hotel’s location & room’s lake view were fabulous! Breakfast buffet was excellent. King room was a good size for 2 people. Room price included pool & spa amenities which were clean & outstanding. Absolutely no complaints except this one - The mattress was old and uncomfortable due to a large sleepers indentation. Definitely time to replace the mattress in room 310!

An old, stately hotel, with works of art in the corridors, lobby and gardens. Wonderful housekeeping and laundry service. Very plentiful buffet breakfast included, where one can sit at a table overlooking Lake Maggiore. The dinner at this restaurant was excellent. The hotel is a 15 minute walk to the town of Stresa, where there are shops, restaurants, and a boat to transport you to the islands. The gym/spa/pool complex is amazing. The crowning glory of the hotel are the expansive lake views from many rooms. What a glorious thing to wake up to sunrise over the lake!

The service was fantastic but the rooms are small and tired. Our sink was blocked and the bed was quite uncomfortable. The shower head was on the long side of the shower over bath, not the end wall. It was impossible to keep water inside the shower area.

Unforgettable Stay in a paradisiac environment

We enjoyed our time in this marvelous hotel every minute. It was one of the most memorable stay, the hotel being an architectural highlight and disposing of a highly professional staff. The spa is as impressive as the beautiful environment of the hotel.

This is one of our favorite hotels in the world. It is Old-World glam, and was a favorite of Ernest Hemingway's. The dining and hospitality are wonderful. We also love the sweet town of Stressa, set on Lago Maggiore. We went Baromee island hopping to beat the heat. The ferry stop was a few minutes stroll from the Hotel. Was all in all an unforgettable experience - and our second time there. We willbe back! .
