"Stresa is a beautiful lakeside resort and La Palma reminds me of the grand European tours of the past. Great service, beautiful rooms and perfect location."
"They were great, even upgraded my room at no charge and gave me a terrace. They also let me check out a little later when my flight got delayed. Really lovely hotel in a great location."
"Nice clean and quiet hotel. Located very close to the lakes edge. The staff were very polite and helpful. Breakfast was very good in the morning with plenty of choice. There is also an indoor pool. The absolute godsend in the hot/sticky weather was the use of the outdoor pool at the sister hotel. The hotel is about a 15/20 minute walk into the centre of Stresa. Would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone. It’s a lovely walk along the lakes edge into Stresa."
