The room had a lovely balcony and the location near the lake was perfect. The breakfast was delicious and definitely one of the highlights of the stay. However, the top‑floor room became extremely hot during the summer, and without air conditioning it was quite challenging to stay comfortable.
Independent family run hotel in a great location on the main square. The staff are very friendly and helpful and there is a bar with a good range of food and drink.
Hotel is a little dated but it was clean, in a good loaction with plenty of restaurants nearby. The owner was lovely and the service was fantastic. Really good breakfast as well

Nice location, helpful staff with a great breakfast and coffee. The building is a little outdated but comes at a good price.
Good value hotel in a superb position overlooking the main square. The staff are friendly and helpful and the bar has a good selection of drinks and snacks. Stresa has excellent shops and restaurants and a market on Friday all within 5 mins walk
It is a nice little cosy hotel at the city center. The bed is good (not too soft), the room was very clean, you can make the room completely dark at the night.
The hotel is basic . Very clean and comfortable .The staff very friendly and helpful . Breakfast,I like continental breakfast not a lot of choice but adequate for my needs and it was good . They were also helpful.
Older hotel with much charm in excellent location. Fantastic breakfast. Owner went out of her way to make us comfortable. For example, she packed us a special breakfast on our last day when we had to leave early. Room was very plain, but clean. The important things such as shower pressure and temperature were all very good.
Location was excellent, right on a piazza with stores, restaurants and music. Owner was available daily and offered suggestions for activities. Breakfast foods were fresh- bread, fruit, cakes, meats. Room was roomy with comfortable bed. Shower was small.
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!
Excellent location in a lovely square.
Hotel is very basic but clean and was ok for an overnight transit stay. Breakfast was also very basic.
Convenient and fairly cheap parking at the ferry terminal, about 100m from the hotel.
Lovely little traditional Italian hotel right in the heart of Stresa. On the main square in a pedestrian area - owners are onsite and very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great and coffee fabulous also had a good bar with a terrace on the square - lovely for a coffee, beer or cocktail. Beds very comfortable and very nice sheets and towels.
No air con but good ceiling fans in the rooms and serviced daily. I had a room overlooking the square and it was lovely sitting in the evening or watching the sunset. Would definitely stay here again if in the area. Great location to explore lots of other places on the lake as boat departures only a couple of minutes walk away.
Good location on one of the towns small squares with short walk to the lake.The owners are very friendly and helpful ,and the hotel had all the amenities we required.
What is delightful experience! Louda and her son were the perfect hosts! I loved the ambiance of this delightful little hotel! The balcony of our room, which overlooked the piazza was a bonus.
I had a little bit of trouble finding the hotel, since we were walking from the train station, but it was worth the extra time!
It had been my dream to see Lago Maggiore for many decades, and my visit remains prominent in my memories. My hug from Lauda at departure will stay in my heart forever!
