About the location
Holidays in Stresa take you to one of the prettiest locations in the
Italian Lakes, with the elegant town perched on the western shore of Lake Maggiore where soaring mountains form a photogenic backdrop.
Stresa has been here for at least a thousand years and the town is peppered with historic buildings, from medieval churches to Renaissance villas. Its cobbled streets are full of pavement cafés and boutique shops, while the surrounding area is renowned for its opulent lakeside palaces and ornamental gardens.
The town is a handy hopping-on point for many ferries and boat trips which sail up and down Lake Maggiore, offering a relaxing way to enjoy the scenery and visit the other towns and villages around this 65km-long lake. For panoramic views of Lake Maggiore and the mountain peaks beyond, Stresa’s cable car climbs from the lakeside to the top of Mount Mottarone, taking you nearly 1,300 metres above the town.

We originally booked for 4 nights here but decided to extend it to 7 nights as the hotel exceeded our expectaions. The room was very spacious and comfortable and was furnished to a high standard. Housekeeping serviced our room daily and left it spotless. The breakfast offered a huge choice to suite every taste and was attended by very helpful staff. The Sky Bar offered amazing views of the lake and of course the sunset. The reception staff were very helpful on arrival and during the course of our stay and nothing was too much trouble. All in all one of the best hotel experiences I have had and I cannot recommend it highly enough.
We actually booked this hotel through Hotels.com but for some reason they wouldn't accept my review??

Stayed at LaPalma 5 nights in September 2021. Staff was very nice. Helpful. Loved Stresa and the LaPalma. Extremely clean. The location is perfect and beautiful. The roof pool and the seating area were just wonderful. There???s a roof bar and the bartender was very attentive and nice. Did not use either pool but they are both beautiful. Breakfast was plentiful and very good. Good coffee.

This is the second time my family and I have been to this hotel and it was just as incredible as the first. Both swimming pools are amazing, the rooms are lovely and spacious and the sky bar as well as the service are absolutely incredible. We especially loved the service at the beach club where the staff was always kind, helpful and makes the best cocktails!
We cannot wait to be back!

This is our third time staying at the La Palma and it is better than ever. Our room on the 6th floor had a wonderful view of the lake. The room itself was very spacious and immaculate. The breakfast buffet was excellent and the wait staff manned the buffet so that only the items you wanted were placed in your dish by a server. The sky bar was fantastic and the beach club was wonderful. All in all, it was a great eight days.

The hotel was luxurious. Waterfront pool staff was very friendly. On friday night there was a wedding and many places reserved on the roof terrace. The staff at the reception barely look at you and don't make you feel welcome, you are realy a number. The older lady at the reception did not ask how we had experienced the stay when serving.
