Communication with the owner, Yvonne, was great. Before we left, she looked up the train from Florence and let us know that the train route would be under repair, so taking the train would be much more complicated and take much longer, Thus we rented a car. She told us they had free parking but it was small so we made sure to rent a car that fit. It was very hot, and I contacted Yvonne about another fan (no AC included) and the next morning she brought one over. The apartment was very clean, spacious and bright; we did not cook while we were there, but it was great to have a full size fridge and freezer and a microwave. I loved sitting on the front balcony to relax. Beds were comfortable. It was great to use the washing machine. Location was wonderful, grocery store literally across the road, gelateria and main square a few steps down. The lake is perhaps a 7 minute leisurely walk down the same street. Despite everything being so close, it was very quiet. We enjoyed having coffee and croissants at Jolly cafe just beyond the square and eggs and “English” breakfast at a place nearby on the lake. The restaurants in the square were all tasty, and a drink place on the same street was perfect for a cool drink. Walking along the lake in the evening was peaceful. We walked to lovely Park Pallvicino and drove to Orta San Giulio on Lake Orta. Taking the the boat to Isola diPescatori was worth it for lunch on the lake and shopping. A very relaxing stay! We hope to return. Thank you!

Wonderful spacious apartment in the heart of Stresa. We enjoyed every minute of our stay in this apartment. Close to everything with a supermarket straight across the street. Yvonne was a fantastic host, answering our questions promptly and even picking us up at the train station. Couldn’t find a better host, thank you Yvonne. The apartment has everything you need including a washing machine. There’s a lift to get you up and down to the second floor. We would highly recommend this apartment and would love to have had more time in Stresa. Kind regards Rhonda and Wayne.

We had a fabulous four days in Stresa. Apartment is in the centre of everything and a few blocks from boats and ferries. We loved touring the islands and Villa Taranto. It is a beautiful place.

Amazing apartment to really embrace the town centre. So many restaurants to choose from. The church bells in the morning were fantastic too. Highly recommend this apartment.

Lovely apartment in a great location.

The apartment is bright, airy and wonderfully located. We were very comfortable during our 11 day stay.

Yvonne and Alessandra were fantastic, as was the unit! They were very accommodating and really helpful. The unit is spacious and had everything I needed. The location is really close to train, ferry and grocery stores. I would highly recommend them and the unit!

Just a few minutes from the town centre and lakeside you are ideally placed for visiting the town as well as days out. Property was expansive with loads of room, well equipped kitchen and a quiet bedroom. Early morning street noise can be heard in the lounge but you won't hear this in the bedroom. Small street-side balcony means you can watch live go by below.
