Boutique Hotel Stresa

Fabulous holiday at this perfect hotel, best placed to enjoy Lake Maggiore…the hotel is 5 star luxury, well appointed bedrooms and guest areas…but better than that, the service is impeccable from reception, to dining, to housekeeping… professional, helpful, warm, and friendly…simply the best hotel and week we have ever enjoyed…thank you Boutique Hotel Stresa x

This newly restored property is easily the best hotel in Stresa, and I'm sure its rank in TA will rise to the top as more reviews are posted. It's a lovely, modern feel, bright and airy with floor to ceiling windows. They noted my IPrefer membership at check-in and upgraded us. WOW! I think we got the best suite in the house, on top (3rd) floor NW corner with a huge terrace, with gorgeous lake and sunset views. The suite was huge, with tons of open space. There was a welcome bottle of sparkling wine and fresh fruit. The complimentary mini bar is replenished daily. The bed was comfortable, with modern electrical outlets (including USB A & C) at each bedside, along with electric controls for the lights and drapes. There were two closets, plenty of storage space. The bath had a dual vanity, lots of counter space, a beautiful freestanding tub, a good rain shower with handheld, and an excellent hairdryer. There were robe hooks for two lovely soft robes. Very small nit: the bedside tables are not very functional, would be much better with drawers or shelves to put stuff away, though they do have decent surface area. Breakfast on the patio was nice. There is a buffet with the usual items (juice, yogurt, cereal, meat and cheese, fruit, pastries, etc.) which did not vary at all during our 5-day stay. There's a menu to order eggs and other hot items, some of which incur an additional charge. The omelettes were great. They also do a bread service, consisting of a sliced artisan bread with ricotta and honey. There's a nice little rooftop pool, with comfortable loungers and sun beds. Good to cool off on a hot afternoon. Some days it was crowded, hard to find a seat, and others it was nearly empty. The staff is great, very friendly and helpful. We had excellent service consistently throughout our stay. The location is perfect, facing the lake and a couple blocks from the center of town.

From the moment arriving to leaving, the staff were simply top notch and very friendly and always helpful. No matter the situation, we always felt taken care of. Our room, Grand Suite Lago was very spacious with high quality fixtures and marble bathroom finishes, tall ceilings and large windows with a view of Lake Maggiore. It would have been better to be on a higher floor. The food was amazing, dining outside in the dome was a unique experience, we opted for the degustation menu. The only complaint was due to a large wedding party staying at the hotel, who were rather loud and disruptive at the restaurant and pool. 4.5 stars out of 5. If no wedding and a higher floor it would have been 5/5.

A fantastic hotel with super service and great rooms . The top floor terrace is great for evening drinks and dinner as the view is great . There is also a small pool to cool down after the hot weather . Our breakfast was included and it was also very very good . Overall it’s a very elegant hotel and a good place to stay
