About this apartment rental

Stresa is a beautiful and elegant town on Lake Maggiore, at the foot of the Italian Alps.

The apartment "Vista Lago" has stunning views of virtually the whole lake and is very romantic. From the front terrace you can see Isola Bella and Isola Madre and Stresa old town and from the other side, you can see Laveno and the eastern side of the lake. This side also overlooks a wonderful sub-tropical garden filled with palms and flowering plants and the sound of birdsong. The terrace is large (30m2) and fully furnished with table and chairs and sunloungers and is partly shaded.

Secure garage available for one car but you do not need a car with this rental.

The apartment is stylishly but comfortably furnished and spacious (110m2) and is very well-equipped. There is parquet flooring throughout. The location is both very quiet and leafy, but is under a 5-minute walk from both the lake and the historic centre of Stresa with all its restaurants and shops.

It was recently renovated and finished to a high standard and has all the mod cons. Each room has a lake view and a view of 'Isola Bella'.

Free Wi-Fi Internet, air-conditioning and central heating and is available all year round.

It is located on the 1st floor in a purpose-built residence with lift.

The apartment comfortably accommodates up 4 people in one double bedroom and one twin-bedded (or double) room. 2 bathrooms - one with shower and bidet and one with large corner bath for 2 people + shower attachment and bidet. I have another apartment in the same residence with lake view which sleeps up to 6 people.

The living room has lovely views on the lake and leads to the terrace. It has a dining area for 6 people and a decorative fireplace. The kitchen is separate and well-equipped with dishwasher, electric oven and gas hob, washing machine, microwave, Gaggia electric Espresso/cappuccino machine, mini-oven, electric filter coffee machine, toaster and kettle. It also has a small table with 2 chairs.

The bedlinen and towels are changed at the end of the first week and the apartment is cleaned (no extra charge).

Milan Malpensa Airport is less than an hour's drive (31km) and 85 km from Milan itself. From the end of March to the end of September there is a bus service (Alibus) which takes you directly from Malpensa airport to the apartment in under an hour. It stops at the church on the lake, 5 minutes' walk from the apartment.

The bus-stop for the lakeside towns of Verbania and Arona is very near.

Stresa makes a perfect base from which to explore the wonders of Lago Maggiore: hop on any ferry to discover the magic of the Borromean Islands, the fascinating villas along the shore, the Piedmont towns of Arona and Intra and the picturesque towns 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). Stresa's railway station which is a 15-20 minute walk connects you easily with Milan (in under and hour), where you can shop, sightsee, or simply sip a coffee and watch the world go by in the famous Piazza del Duomo.

There are really no negatives about this apartment. A perfect place to stay. The walk down to the town is quite easy even for us as an older couple. The satellite TV was not working but we managed to stream the Olympics so that wasn't a problem. The kitchen was well equipped and Giuliano was always on hand to sort out some minor issues. The ferry queues can get quite high late morning onwards so it pays to get an early ferry to visit the islands. We ate at Lo Stornello restaurant which was excellent.

We enjoyed our stay at Vista Lago on Lake Maggiore. Chantal Rowley was very responsive and provided comprehensive info on the condo and Stresa which was was appreciated. The condo is in a perfect location -- an easy walk to the town square, shops and restaurants. A small car is recommended given the narrow streets and garage. The condo is well equipped and clean. Everything was as stated. We enjoyed our stay at Vista Lago on Lake Maggiore!

This apartment is not the cheapest but is worth every penny. The apartment itself is spacious and well decorated. The terrace catches the sun most of the day, although there is also plenty of shade. The view over the lake and Stresa is spectacular. Lake Maggiore is beautiful. The perfect place to relax, chill and enjoy the dolce vita!

A stunning, luxurious, well-appointed, immaculate condo in a gorgeous setting. We felt that we were privileged houseguests in the home of a refined lady who was out-of-town for a few days, not merely transient renters in a condo where maximizing profit was the goal -- which is usually the feeling that we have in Vrbo rentals. The kitchen was exceptionally well-equipped, although we used only the refrigerator and the microwave. Chantal Rowley, assistant Giuliano, and taxi driver Mario could not have been any more pleasant to communicate with. We had an unforgettable stay at Vista Lago and would love to return!
