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.

The hotel is 1 hour from Malpensa airport. Return private transfers included. To change your transfers or book car hire instead, simply call us once you’ve completed your booking.

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.

Spent 4 amazing nights at this property in August. Booked a lake view room with a lovely balcony and the views did not disappoint. Loved the sunrise in the AM.
Location in Stresa is perfect. Short (less than 10 min) walk to city center where you find a local supermarket and shops and restaurants and the ferry boats to visit all the little isles.
Two pools on site - one on roof top and the other infinity pool across the street with breath taking views of Lake Maggiore. You cannot beat the view. At all. One of the best selling points of the entire hotel.
Hotel decor is modern which we prefer. Other nearby hotels are a bit more "traditional" Italian but not our style. Spacious room by EU standards and a great shower.
Enjoyed breakfast on site every am which was nice to do so outside near the front lawn. Great variety and enough to start your day. Even during the busiest times, always plenty of staff to clean off tables and deliver your coffee and tea. Staff extremely friendly.
Hotel has parking as well right around the corner in some deserted lot but worked for us and our rental. Less than an hour back to the Malpensa airport. Loved our time in Stresa.

Had the pleasure of staying here in August 2021.
Luxurious hotel at an excellent location, next to the lake and next to the centre of Stresa.
The view from the front view room towards the lake was absolutely beautiful.
The room was very nicely finished, as was the rest of the hotel.
The beach bar with pool is wonderfully located literally next to the lake - hotel La Palma is possibly the only hotel in the area to have this.
