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.

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!

Emplacement et qualité de l accueil

Hôtel très bien situé au centre de Stresa.Il est près de la gare, il permet l accès au bus pour aller au lac d Orta, et bien sûr de l embarcadère pour les 3 îles. La simplicité de l hôtel est largement compensée par l accueil du personnel d une gentillesse remarquable.
