Stay in Stresa with elderly parents.
The location is everything - on the lake front with a balcony overlooking the water - this was very good value for money. Carla was very helpful and communicative. Free parking was available along the road, but I imagine in high season this may be a bit of a problem. The apartment was typically Italian, adequately equipped, and the entry is somewhat quaint, having to enter between shops to a small courtyard, with outside steps at the rear of the property. Also the second double bed has two parts where one bed slides out from beneath the other, so it is not a 'proper' double. We would happily stay here again.

Great location
The place had a beautiful view and fantastic location - but was very dirty - mainly the kitchen. Couldn’t use the small cafeterias for coffee making as they were rusted and mouldy, as was the chopping board, juicer and oven mitts. My advise would be to bring your own coffee maker or go to Cafe Savoy downstairs. Great coffee! Pizzeria downstairs great and does takeaway of pasta, salads and pizza. Old sponges, rotting gloves were left in the kitchen as were broken cups with no handles and chipped plates. A good clean was really needed and I got Carla(the owner) to come back as we were not able to use the kitchen due to it not being cleaned properly. There is a dishwasher there but doesn’t work and hasn’t worked for a long time. Salt, oils and vinegars in the corner of the kitchen, we didn’t use any as was very little in the bottles and we don’t know how long they had been there for, so we bought our own. Range hood full of grease on the outside and needs a good clean. No bread knife. Television never checked and didn’t work the whole 2 weeks. The wifi modem was taken out of the apartment day 1 to share with other neighbours so it didn’t work properly for the first week and was returned to us later and works great when modem in the apartment only. The rug in lounge room is a trip hazard as it’s not a non slip rug. Very dangerous so we packed it away while we stayed there. Hot water was ok in small shower but no cold water needed. Shower screen could do with a great clean and the whole place needs a good dusting and good floor mop. For the money we paid it should have been rented out clean!! What a shame. There is no excuse. A little bit of time and care by Carla in looking after the property would make it much better and worth while.

Stay in Stresa
Prompt and efficient communication with the owner, Carla. Spacious and breezy apartment. Has a balcony overlooking the lake. Noisey main street when doors open, but lovely view of lake. Washing machine and clothes horse a bonus. Absolutely Perfect location to ferries, main square, supermarket. Carla picked us up at train station but only a 6 euro taxi fare back to station. Close to everything. The location could not be more perfect. Highly recommended.

Bella Maggiore
The apartment is in a great and easy to find location, on the same road as the stop for the bus from Malpensa airport and almost opposite the Maggiore ferry terminal. The views from the balcony are breathtaking and the two sets of balcony doors make the living space (kitchen and living room) bright and airy. The bedrooms are at the back of the property, with balconies overlooking a courtyard which is peaceful and full of trees and greenery. Carla the host was very responsive to email correspondence and Titta who checked me in was friendly and helpful. My only criticism would be that the kitchen and bathroom could do with a little updating and the linens were a little tired looking (although obviously very clean). Overall, I would recommend this property to friends because of the location and views.

Beautiful views and great location.
We stayed at this apartment for a week. You can not beat this apartment for the views of the lake and mountains and the location to all the shops and restaurants of Stresa. Parking was not with the apartment but it was easy to find a spot down the street. The Wifi wasn’t very reliable and if you had to get any work done ( which unfortunately my husband had to) it was very frustrating. Hot water didn’t get very hot. Carla was great to work with. She was very organized and replied to our emails promptly.

Perfect location by the lake
We had a lovely stay in Stresa. The apartment is in such a good location - close to the bus stop, the ferry terminal and not too far to the train station. There is a Carrefour supermarket near the plaza with lots of cafes and restaurants, so we had everything we needed. The bedrooms are quiet and we enjoyed coffee in the mornings, watching the boats on the lake from the balcony.

Spacious and clean apartment. Very near the ferry port for boat journies with a supermarket nearby for buying food and drinks. Carla was most responsive to queries and helpful when we arrived and left, even printing our boarding passes. Stresa is beautiful and quiet and friendly.

Great location and lake views
I know others have mentioned the noise from the road but we personally didn’t let it bother us. The bedroom is at the rear of the property so we were not disturbed. As a base for visiting the islands and other towns around the lake it is excellent, just a short stroll from the public ferry terminal.

A balcony view of Lake Maggiore!
We arrived to a very warm welcome from Carla. What could be nicer? The apartment is perfectly situated to enable easy access to Lake Maggiore. The ferries leave from just across the road. There is free parking close by, if you are quick, and all day free parking just 800 metres along the lake. The apartment is a charming older style; comfortable, clean and charming with a balcony where you can sit and enjoy an aperatif as the sun goes down. Stresa is a charming city away from crowded places like Como but accessible to Lake Como by car and the nearby mountains. We stayed a week and would have enjoyed a longer stay as there is so much to see......we will be back! Thank you Carla! A fabulous experience for us all

Perfect location for us.
We had everything we needed in our 1st floor apartment. Some evenings we cooked in house, others we ate locally; there's plenty of choice within a 5 minute walk. Although our favourite restaurant was found near the station, slightly off the tourist trail but still less than 20 mins walk. There's no allocated parking, but I always found a free spot just along the seafront, never more than 5 minutes away. Our only slight problem was noise in late evening, but it didn't stop our kids sleeping; we probably noticed this more than most will because we live in a very quiet, rural location in the UK. All in all, an excellent base for exploring the beautiful area.

Good apartment with great views
The apartment is in a great location for the ferries and all local restaurants and shops. The only issue we found was that the shower was not that powerful, and I had to clean out all the holes on the shower head to get a better flow. It could do with a new head. We may have been unlucky but someone next door run a bath every morning at 06.00, so no chance of a lie in. As there are 2 doors between the bedroom and the lounge area and the road noise was not a problem during the night. Whilst sitting on the balcony there was always something to look and the road below was not an issue when we stayed in May. We stayed as a couple but there was plenty of room for 4.

Unbeatable lakefront view in a nicely equipped apartment
Very comfortable and nicely maintained. Both owner and on-site manager very helpful and responsive. Full kitchen with full sized refrigerator-freezer and clothes washer, a real benefit for an extended stay. Parking is on street and not far from the flat. Very short walk to historic town center with clothing boutiques, basic services and many places to eat.

John Q., London, United Kingdom.

Delightful and very central.
The views alone would be worth the effort to visit this beautiful part of the world. A kind and gracious host also helps as does the very central setting giving easy access to all the ferries that ply the lake. The bedrooms are at the rear of the apartment which is useful as the road can be a little noisy. The kitchen has all the basics but could use a microwave and a dishwasher that works. Overall it is a well appointed and comfortable place to relax and enjoy the magnificent views of the lake on the little balcony. The restaurant immediately below the apartment is a joy and the food delicious.

Déçus par le logement en terme de propreté, d'équipements et de vétusté
Vétusté de la salle de bain, du canapé lit, de certains équipements. Propreté approximative. Linge de toilette vieillissant. Fils électriques sans ampoules ni luminaires au bout... Accueil purement logistique (nous n'avons pas vu la propriétaire). Tous ces éléments font qu'on a du mal à se sentir chez soi. Ce manque d'attention est regrettable. Dommage car l'appartement pourrait être très bien. L'appartement n'est pas adapté pour une famille de 5 personnes. Le coût n'est pas adapté à la qualité des prestations. Nous sommes étonnés des avis indiqués sur le site Abritel qui ne reflètent pas la réalité

Bewertung
Das Objekt/Wohnung ist gut, im Besonderen die Lage. Unser Urlaub war schon sehr gut. Was nicht gut war, war die Möblierung, die veraltet und abgenutzt war. Die Ausstattung der Küche lässt einiges Vermissen (z.B. nur 1 Weinglas, oder komplett fehlende Eierbecher). Und die Abschlussleiste der Küche war wirklich ein Graus.. Wenn hier ein paar Euro investiert würden, wäre die Wohnung echt gut!
