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 were in shock how uninterested the receptionists are. After months of Covid 19 I expected some happiness towards arriving guests. Hygiene measures are promoted but not followed by the hotel. Rooms are tasteless and not very clean. Rooms are also quite small.
The view is breathtaking!!! The pool is lovely! The service at the pool and in the restaurant is good. The menu very limited.
We moved to another 4 star hotel nearby after 5 days and cannot believe the difference..
Never again for us.

I probably wasn't experiencing this hotel at its best, given that it was low season (and some of the nearby hotels were even closed completely). As such, many of this hotel's facilities (pool, restaurant, rooftop bar and jacuzzi) were all closed. The spa was lovely but is only EVER open in the evening, so sadly isn't an option for a rainy day and can get quite busy as everybody tries to squeeze in a bit of time before dinner, and on darker evenings the views from the glorious picture windows are lost! Their massages are expensive but grrrreat, although the treatment room is on a bt of a thoroughfare.
I opted for a 'mountain view' room and it did indeed have a view of a mountain... beyond the view of an ugly yard and crane! The room was well equipped though and a good size with small balcony to sit out in the sunshine. I didn't quite get the birthday lie-in I was hoping for, as I don't think the rooms are very well insulated... either that or they have THE noisiest, chattiest chambermaids in the corridor in the mornings! Breakfast was all cold servings with some variety in the options, but wasn't the quality I got the impression of from their website. The hotel itself is in a very convenient spot: an easy straightforward walk to/from the train station, a pleasant short stroll to the heart of Stresa, and right on the lake front.

This is our go to hotel in Stresa. Love the location, walking distance to the town center. Great breakfast options. The hotel has 2 pool options - one is across the street right on the water and the other is on the rooftop. The views from the rooftop pool are beautiful! Rooms are pretty typical size for the hotel type, but who wants to be in the room anyway.

We happened upon Hotel La Palma when we decided to leave another hotel and needed a bed for 2 nights! Not the sort of hotel we would normally choose (we like smaller, less corporate lodgings!) we loved La Palma. Lovely staff, beautiful room, gorgeous environment, spotlessly clean and serving fabulous food - what was there not to like?!!!
