Good hotel in a central position in Stresa, just at the start of the lake-side walking street. We stayed in the dependance, there's plenty of space and I think it's better than what the photos say.

Fantastic family hotel!

Really lovely family hotel set just back from the main promenade in Stresa. Beautiful gardens and a really well kept and well run hotel. The staff were all welcoming and friendly. The pool area is secluded and very well managed. Our room was perfect, with a large terrace that had views of the lake and was bathed in sunshine for most of the day. Perfect!

Nice mid-range hôtel. Close to Carciano lido to get to the islands. Room was clean and bed was great. Staff at frontdesk was not super friendly, but other staff persons were really welcoming. Breakfast was very nice (fruits, excellent capuccino, and great deal of breads, cornetto, pancakes)

Lovely 4 day break

Lovely 4 day stay. We stayed in a lake view dual aspect room that was recently decorated and had an extremely comfortable, large bed. Great shower in a newly refurbished bathroom. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was efficient. Good choice of fresh food at breakfast. Approximately a 15 minute walk to the main part of Stresa where the ferry port is situated. The view from our room was beautiful and we would stay again.

A lovely family run hotel in a good location

This was a lovely hotel in a good, quiet location, just five minutes walk from the centre of Stresa. Great service, a spacious room with a balcony with a lovely, albeit restricted view of the lake. The owner was incredibly grateful for me choosing his hotel which was really nice - it's not often you get thanked sincerely multiple times for choosing to stay at a hotel! The continental breakfast was great and had lots to choose from. The hotel had wifi although it wasn't very fast it was good enough for checking emails etc. would happily recommend and stay here again.
