About this apartment rental

The "Verbena" 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 Verbena 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.

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 easy, friendly check-in with Giuliano, the spotlessly clean apartment, the sweeping views of Lago Maggiore, the relative ease of walking into town and the yummy restaurants there: it all added up to a phenomenal stay in Stresa. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Every morning when I woke up here and looked out the double-door window I involuntarily said, "Oh my God." The view of the mountains and lake--with the town and the boats--is out of a dream. Or a movie. Or a Stendhal novel The beds were comfortable. We occasionally heard neighbors but all in all it was very peaceful. We worried on arrival when the taxi looped up the winding road higher and higher that the town of Stresa wouldn't really be walking distance--but it turned out to be a handy 8-10 minute walk, almost all of it on a picturesque, though very steep, pedestrian path. The town of Stresa is lively and fun. And the property manager Giuliano was fantastic--friendly and helpful. Highly recommend.

Up the hill a bit from the center of town, but what views! Fresh, big space which would easily fit six people. Want a pool? The hotels along the main street offer day-passes.
