3 day mini break

This hotel is beautifully situated with lovely lake views from the front facing balconies.Table and chairs on the balcony are a lovely addition and enable sunset relaxation! Good sized rooms and en-suites. Close to the funicular and walking distance to Stresa town centre. The staff are very friendly and there is a good pool with plenty of sun loungers and a poolside bar. The restaurant is large and breakfasts excellent and in these Covid restrained days it is well managed and organised. No hesitation in recommending and would choose again

Birthday treat

Picked this hotel as said family run, just outside Stresa so nice walk into town centre. You could either walk along road then join promenade or take road directly opposite hotel down to lake and walk the promenade. Ideal for us, ferry stop at bottom of road plus cable car station. The hotel itself was really nice, but the staff were absolutely lovely. Really cheerful and helpful. The food was gorgeous, it was a treat to go to dinner and check out the menu. Asked head waiter to recommend wine, we tried several over the week none overpriced considering it was hotel.

Top quality

We had a room on the first floor overlooking the road at the front of the building. There is a busy road in front of the hotel but when the balcony doors were closed it was quiet. The room was spacious and modern with a good shower room. There was a TV with a couple of English channels, a fridge and a safe. this is a good quality Italian hotel and as such food served is Italian and very good. Breakfast was continental with a good selection of meats, cheeses, fruit and sweet things. There was some warm food but i did not try any. Evening meals were just fantastic with a serve yourself salad course followed by a first, second courses which was served and a desert course which again was served. There was a selection of 5 meals on each course and in 7 days never failed to enjoy any meal. Staff throughout the hotel were very friendly. There is a nice well stocked bar with good Italian beer. I did not use the pool. A good internet connection is freely available.The hotel is located on the outskirts of Stresa which is a 20 minute walk away, it is a short walk from the railway station, the ferry terminal and the cable car station. There is a bus stop outside the hotel with an hourly service in both directions. I could not find any real fault with the hotel but as a personal thing i would have liked a choice of something a little plainer for evening meals as everything was served with some sort of sauce..We enjoyed our stay so much that we are looking to book again for next year
