About this apartment rental
The "Valentina" apartment is located up in the hills above Stresa (about 250 m) and has panoramic views over Lake Maggiore and the surrounding countryside and mountains. It is surrounded by a large, fenced garden and is only 1 km (5 minutes in the car, less than 10 minutes on foot) from the bustling town centre of Stresa. The location is very peaceful and quiet.
Stresa is 42 km (less than an hour) from Milan-Malpensa airport. From the end of March to the end of September there is a bus service called "Alibus" which takes you directly from Malpensa airport to Stresa. Alternatively, a taxi can be arranged for you (120 Euros single).
Its railway station connects you easily with Milan (45 mins fast train), where you can shop, sightsee, or simply sip a coffee and watch the world go by in the majestic Piazza del Duomo.
Stresa is the most popular tourist destination on Lake Maggiore and it's not hard to see why. With its beautiful lakeside promenade dotted with grand Belle Époque hotels and villas, its sunny beach and outdoor swimming pool (Lido Carciano), its delicious restaurants and little shops, many selling local products, its mountain walks and lake sports, there is something for everyone.
The town faces the famous Borromeo Islands of Isola Bella and Isola Pescatori so just hop on any ferry to discover the enchanting beauty of Lake Maggiore, its fascinating villas along the shore, the Piedmont towns of Arona and Intra and the picturesque town of Laveno nestled on the other side of the lake in Lombardy. You can even take a full-day boat tour all the way up the lake to Switzerland (Ascona and Locarno).
Less than an hour's drive away are the ski slopes and nature trails of the Mottarone mountain.
The Valentina apartment has free Wi-Fi/Internet. Air-conditioning and heating are also included in the price.
Garage and parking at the property (with free ev-charging point). On the balcony, you also have a power point to charge electric bikes.
The apartment is on the 3rd floor and there is a lift.
The bright, spacious living room has been stylishly furnished and has a comfortable double sofa bed, satellite television and fully-equipped open-plan kitchen (dishwasher, microwave oven/ mini oven, kettle, toaster, fridge/freezer, electric coffee-machine) and dining table and chairs. It opens out onto a balcony with table and chairs where you can eat outside and enjoy the fabulous views over Lake Maggiore.
There are 2 double bedrooms (or two twin-bedded rooms). One bedroom has a balcony and lake view, the other has a view of the garden. It has 2 bathrooms with shower and bidet.
There is a separate utility room with washing machines, dryer and iron + ironing board on the ground floor of the residence for the guests to use.
The listed price is for 4 people; for each additional person it is 15 Euros per day, plus VRBO commission.
The apartment can sleep up to 6 people.
Please note there is the Holiday Tax (Tassa di Soggiorno) of 1 Euro per person per day, children under 6 excluded, to pay on arrival (in cash).
A dog is welcome (for a small supplement).

Absolutely a high point in our Northern Italian vacation for many reasons. The View is glorious. The well-designed balcony faces perfectly North and enables you to sit in shade at any time of day to enjoy the scenery, light and air. You can see all three Borromean Islands clearly. The apartment is spotlessly clean, fresh and well-appointed. The location is very walkable from the train station and downtown if you are fine with stairs. Giuliano does a beautiful job managing the property with incredible courtesy, skill and kindness. When we had a mini-emergency, Giuliano saved the day! He was readily available and very responsive.
And did I mention The View? Look no further—this place is wonderful.

Sehr schöne Wohnung mit perfekter Lage
Die neu renovierte Wohnung ist sehr schön und perfekt eingerichtet. Der Blick vom Balkon auf den See ist einfach großartig. Zudem ist man in 5min zu Fuß im Zentrum von Stresa. Einfach alles perfekt.
Kontakt zur Vermittlung war sehr gut und sehr freundlich. Vor Ort hilft Giuliano bei allem was man braucht. Wirklich alles perfekt und wir kommen gerne wieder!

Sehr schöne Tage in Stresa
Eine sehr schöne, saubere und moderne Wohnung inkl. Garage, Klimaanlage und einem grandiosem Ausblick auf den Lago Maggiore und die Borromäischen Inseln, ein Traum.
Obwohl wir mit dem Auto angereist sind, konnten wir alles zu Fuß, mit dem Zug und dem Schiff erreichen, das war toll.
Giuliano ist ein sehr netter Gastgeber und spricht sogar auch perfekt english.
Wir werden sicher wiederkommen, es hat uns sehr sehr gut gefallen!

All you would want and more
Perfect is how I would describe the apartment. We have been going to Stresa for a few years and have rented from Guiliano for the past 2. Everything is clean and comfortable and Guiliano was very responsive to our needs. The view is breathtaking! Having been to all the lakes in northern Italy, I still comeback to Lake Maggiore and Stresa again and again. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

Great apartment, wonderful view
Loved the apartment. Everything was exactly as described except the view from the balcony, which was even better than the photos suggest. So many rental properties have view photos taken through a serious telephoto lens, it’s nice to find the opposite.
Chantal and the owner, Giuliano, couldn’t have been more responsive & helpful.

Dear Chantal,
We want to thank you for your assistance in helping us find accommodations in Stresa. We could not have been happier with the apartment. Recently refurbished and spotless, the property provided us with everything we needed for an amazing time. And that view from our balcony! Wow!
Giuliano is a wonderful guy. Laid back, yet very concerned with our comfort and happiness, he was the perfect host. Please be sure to pass on our thanks and best wishes.
We had our last meal in Stresa at Osteria degli Amici. The food was terrific! Thanks so much for suggesting it. We also had lunch at Mama Mia, Giuliano's favorite spot. We dined in the apartment on several occasions. We just loved shopping for fresh pasta, cheese, meat, and wine to use in the creation of our own Italian meals.
Again, thank you for all you did to make our Italian adventure such an amazing experience. We would recommend you to our friends in a heartbeat!
All the best,
Chris
