"Excellent location! Just 5 min walk from train station and 2 min walk to Lake and promenade. Staff was very friendly. The only downside was a very small shower with no tray to put soap or shampoos. You have to either hold them or put on the floor."

Villa e Palazzo Aminta Hotel Beauty and SPA

10/10 Excellent
"We loved every single thing about this beautiful hotel. It sits majestically nestled in an elevated position overlooking lake Maggiore with attractive well maintained grounds. The staff were excellent at every stage and incredibly obliging. The food including breakfast was delicious. Every Thurs night is a wonderful barbecue out on the terrace with the backdrop of the gorgeous lake which was a particular highlight. There is decadence, luxury and Italian style throughout the hotel with many gorgeous rooms to enjoy on the main hotel floor. The immaculate bedroom and sumptuous bathroom we had was on the 3rd floor overlooking the lake from a wonderful balcony, a breathtaking view that is imprinted in our minds. For us a very special hotel in a beautiful location with professional exemplary friendly staff. The owner chats to guests every morning at breakfast which is a lovely personal touch. A welcome drink greets you on your arrival at the hotel and a minibar with largely soft drinks and beer is complementary and restocked every day. We also had a complementary bottle of wine in our room and every night with the turn down service some delicious petit fours appeared as an additional treat. The hotel can arrange a private boat from their own jetty to take you to the 3 Borromean islands which though an expensive luxury provides a tailored service that was extra special. A very warm thank you to All the staff who made our stay absolutely amazing. We would return in a heartbeat."

Grand Hotel Bristol

Grand Hotel Bristol

8/10 Good
"The property has been updated to a very high (if slightly impractical) standard but some decisions are incongruous. The worst decision was to replace all the grass at the property with astroturf. To have plastic grass in an area of outstanding natural beauty is a crime. In room fixtures and fittings are top quality but again there are issues. The lighting controls are baffling and some come on and go off by themselves. The towels are not particularly nice (and there’s nowhere to hang wet ones), the toilet paper is of poor quality and there’s no conditioner provided. You only get 1GB of free WiFi and they won’t provide an iron for ‘security reasons’. Rip up the plastic grass and take care of a few wider issues and this place could be so much better. There is a lot of 5 star competition in the area and this currently feels more ‘Dubai’ than ‘Dolce Vita’."

"Great place to stay in Stresa. It's excellent but don't expect it to be like the Ritz. Within town center and 5mins walk to the ferry landing. However, it's a 15mins walk to the train station on cobblestone roads so pulling the suitcase was not as smooth. The A/C worked nicely and the bed was comfortable. Staff were very nice and welcoming. Enough time to hop on the ferry and visit other towns along Lake Maggiore."
