"We stayed here for 5 nights for our honeymoon in August. We pre-booked the spa, a cooking class, wine tasting and a cocktail masterclass. Everything exceeded our expectations. The staff were great, all very friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. They really went out of their way to make sure we had a great time. The breakfast buffet was very well stocked with delicious fruits, cheeses, meat and pastries. The views of the lake from the top floor restaurant are stunning. We ate at LeBolle twice and the food and service are both of the highest standard. We had a lovely experience at this hotel and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting Stresa and Lake Maggiore."

When is the best time to go to Stresa?
The best time to visit Stresa is during the spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are smaller.Spring brings mild temperatures, blooming gardens, and fewer visitors, making it ideal for exploring the Borromean Islands and enjoying lakeside strolls. You'll find most attractions and restaurants open, but it won't be as busy as the peak summer months. This period is particularly good for couples seeking a romantic getaway without the hustle and bustle.Autumn also offers agreeable weather with comfortable temperatures and beautiful foliage around the lake. The summer crowds have dispersed, but many activities and eateries are still operating. It's a great time for those who enjoy hiking in the surrounding hills or simply relaxing by the lake in a more tranquil setting. Families might appreciate the quieter atmosphere for a relaxing break before the winter.While July and August are the warmest months, they are also the busiest and most expensive. If you prefer a lively option and don't mind sharing the sights with more people, summer could still be a good option, especially for water sports.
