B&B Villa Preziosa Lago Maggiore ★★★

"We stayed with a group of friends. We were supposed to be four couples, but unfortunately one couldn't make it. There are only four rooms, so we would have had the whole house to ourselves. Regardless, we had a wonderful time. The rooms are spacious, spotlessly clean, and very charming. The breakfast room is a very convivial space, and we even stayed after dinner to chat. The outdoor area is being renovated, and for the summer, there will also be a swimming pool and a working hot tub. The house has convenient indoor parking and is located on the main road next to a supermarket. We never met the owner, but Mrs. Silvana was very kind and always present at breakfast."

Aries ★★★

"We stayed two nights. The room was nice and clean, the breakfast was plentiful, and the staff was friendly and helpful. It's in a great location. Once we parked the car in the garage, we didn't use it again. A great experience, thank you."

By the lake ★★

Hotel Il Chiostro by Lvg Hotel Collection ★★★

"Great hotel inside an old monastery, good clean rooms conveniently located near to restaurants and the city center"

B&B Hotel Malpensa Lago Maggiore ★★★

"Quiet hotel, but a little out of the way, requiring a car to get to dinner. The staff is friendly and attentive. The breakfast is high-quality. One of the bedside tables in our room was missing. Excellent value for money."

Luna Hotel Motel Lago Maggiore Arona ★★★★

"The hotel is very comfortable"

Relais Casali della Cisterna ★★★

"Simona and Alberto were excellent hosts. The local food was delicious - from home baked bread and pastries in the morning; to local dishes particularly ‘grandma’s lasagne’ being serviced all day and into the evening, with no need to travel for dinner other than to sit on the terrace overlooking the lake. The extensive wine list and cocktails were all too tempting - the advice on wine was spot on. We opted for the larger suites overlooking the lake; superbly appointed, very comfortable, enormous double beds, extensive space and private terraces. The gardens were large and lovely and ample car parking - a real bonus for those who’ve stayed on the lakes before! "

Hotel Villa Paradiso ★★★★

"Beautiful location. We booked a room with a view of the stunning lake. Room was comfortable and clean with an easy to access walk in shower which is now an essential for us. Relaxing pool area where we could sit but we chose mainly to swim and then use the convenient changing hut before returning to our room. Towels are provided just collect from the changing cabin. The outside bar seating area is very pleasant even when raining however the staff suffered a little needing umbrellas to bring drink orders out. there is an inside bar and separate restaurant with a covered terrace as well. We ate at the hotel in the evening once which was very pleasant but the menu is the same every day. We also ate breakfast every day which was good and had a number of available options, particularly liked the natural honeycomb. I am a tea drinker but the room tea bags were a strange fruit assortment and only the odd english breakfast tea, however english breakfast tea bags were available from the breakfast bar. No milk or milk sachets available in our room. There was a minibar fridge with sparkling and still water, along with beer and some other drinks. I was able to buy a large bottle of pelligrino from the bar to use in our room as I drink a lot of water. Would recommend guests have their own car when staying here as it is a little out of Stresa where the public ferry to the various islands leaves from and the Stresa train station where you can get into Milan within an hour and 12 minutes. Meina is the nearest train station to the hotel, a little slope up to the station takes about 15 - 20 minutes to walk from the hotel however the trains from Meina are infrequent and/or not direct. Best morning train was 8:50am with 15 minutes to Stresa. If you don't have a car or want to use the train the hotel will book taxis. We had several taxis during our stay which made it a lot easier to come and go at times we wanted to. If you use the ferries in Stresa and need a taxi back, one option is to walk 15-20 minutes to Stresa train station where there is a busy taxi rank. You might be lucky and find a taxi near the ferry terminal but mostly the train station is your best bet. We were able to arrange a late check out which turned out to be an even better idea when I developed a cold overnight on our last night and just wanted to stay in bed until our taxi to the airport in the late afternoon. All staff were friendly, helpful and courteous."
