Great hotel!

Really lovely place - very flexible and accommodating. Clean rooms and bathrooms. Lovely dated decor and right next to everything. We missed breakfast but they offered us coffee and a croissant on the house. We appreciated this kind touch, as we were quite hungover! All the staff were friendly and lovely. Grazie Mille!

A little gem

Booked for bank holiday weekend, Friday to Monday, with my two grown up children, in a family room. We have visited Stresa for about 15yrs, and have in the past stayed in the luxury hotels along the lakefront, and apartments, but I can honestly say we loved this little hotel! It felt warm, friendly, and is right in the central square. The staff and owners are so friendly and helpful. We had a completely relaxed and happy break, and we will definitely return to this little gem.
