This was such a lovely place with breathtaking panoramic views. It has a serenity that is welcoming after a day of touring. It is a perfect location and excellent for taking day trips to Lake Orta, Switzerland, Lake Como, etc. Everything you need is available and the hostess, Gabriella, is delightful. It was one of our most favorite rentals on a long trip.

Lovely apartment

Our stay in this Stresa apartment was delightful. Gabriella greeted us personally, and was very kind and helpful. We enjoyed the quiet, relatively remote location (uphill away from the city center), and also access to a beautiful trail to the town that kept us from having to walk on the narrow, curvy roads. We couldn't get enough of the view from the sitting room and wraparound deck. Of the three rentals we had on our trip, this was our favorite.

Lovely and well equipped

Great place to stay, large living area and bedrooms, and very well equipped kitchen. Gabriella was amazing! A little quiet in stresa but that can’t be helped, it was winter. Nice relaxing stay to end our hectic holiday in Europe.

The best view in the world

A fantastic welcome from Gabriella to her gorgeous and well appointed villa. The view from the terrace over Lake Maggiore was stunning. It is well worth getting up to witness the sun rise over the mountains on the opposite side of the lake. The villa was super comfortable, clean, quiet and had everything we needed. Stresa is a 20 minute walk down a sometimes rough, unmade path. The walk back climbs 100m, perfect for walking off those pasta calories. Just be aware that the Vrbo map shows the villa much closer to town than it actually is. We loved stopping here and will definitely stay again if we return to Stresa.

Perfect!

Perfect house. Comfortable and clean. The walk to town was beautiful and rustic. We were glad we brought a backpack carrier for our 4 year old though as it was quite a steep walk. The neighbors were lovely and the neighborhood was calm and quiet. The hosts were gracious and helpful. Overall a fantastic stay for our family of 4.

Spectacular View of Lago Maggiore

The view from this property is just spectacular. It has a comfortable and large balcony/deck. The bright living room is surrounded by windows which provides for breath taking views. The property itself is in a great neighbourhood, well placed for access to Stresa and surrounding area. There is a nice trail if you want to walk into town and it takes about 20 minutes.

The perfect place to stay on the beautiful lake

This is perfect place to stay on the beautiful lake!!! My husband and I cannot say enough good things about this GORGEOUS apartment. Gabriela greeted us with a warm smile and she was an incredible hostess. We did not need one thing due to her hospitality. The views of the lake are breathtaking and made our trip to Lake Maggiore even more magical. We would recommend this apartment for any couples looking for a romantic getaway

Wonderful

This home was perfect for us. The pictures are accurate- the view is spectacular! The space was lovely and up to date, and the neighborhood is convenient and quiet. Gabriella was an attentive and responsive host, who went out of her way to help us with the local bureaucracy in the paperwork for our dog’s return to the US.

Great host, Great property, Great location

The property is exceptional and the owner is very hospitable. In addition to a nice bottle of red wine and some local speciality bicuits, Gabriella was also very helpful with suggestions of where to shop and sights to see. The location is unbeatable and the property overlooks Lake Maggiore and in the distance one can see the snow capped Swiss Alps. It is a very short drive to the centre of Stresa and the area is very peaceful. The rooms are well proportioned and everything was in order. We look forward to visiting again.

Perfect Stresa

Gabriella is a wonderful host. She greeted us with a smile and wine and has been totally responsive to all our needs. The booking is exactly as shown in the pictures, if not better. Always breathtaking. It’s a short hike to town, and a short ride to marvelous hiking and swimming opportunities. We are taking advantage of the music - the Stresa festival and other events around. We may never leave!

Back to Lago Maggiore

We returned to Gabriela's wonderful villa after five years. It was even better than we remembered. The villa layout is well designed, kitchen appliances and furniture is really good and the the view to Lago Maggiore is breath taking. Gabriella had done some renovation since our last visit and everything was done really nicely. During this trip, we visited also Lake Orta and and Orta San Giulia. It is a really nice medieval town and we can recommend a trip over there.

FANTASTIC

The most comfortable, well equipped and clean apartment you will ever find in Stresa. BUT the best bit is the wonderful terrace and view directly over Lake Maggiore. Gabriella is the most charming and helpful owner who lives in the apartment below. You can walk into the town but it is a good half hour downhill and more uphill home. Just get a taxi home it is worth it.

Excellent!

Gabriella was too perfect! We were quite lost (new gps app) and she talked us through it with ease and grace. Cookies and wine were waiting for us which was perfect after a 9 he drive. Fully, fully equipped kitchen. The views were stunning, the place was larger than we thought. The hills are steep, roads narrow. We ended up using a taxi to (I have mobility issues) town which was perfect and “cheap.” We loved every minute of our stay.

Wow what a View!

We loved our 2 weeks in this beautifully appointed apartment with a stunning 180 degree view of the Lago Maggiore. Where else could you view the Isola Bella, the distant city of Pallanza and the cliff hermitage of Santa Caterina than from the huge terrace. Whilst we had a car we often walked to the historic centre of Stresa on the wonderful wooded chestnut route (20 minutes). But what made our stay is the warm and generous personality of Gabriella. She is the most gracious and accommodating owner. Nothing was too much trouble and we left her feeling that we made a new friend. Thank you Gabriella!”

beautiful views

The only negative comment I can make is the location. On one hand the views are stunning but it is not very convenient to go back and forth to town. The pathway is quite rugged in parts so you have to be very careful, and it is quite a steep hill so a taxi was required to take us back up the hill. So it all depends on the individual. We loved the property but location was a bit problematic. for us.

Like home away from home but more beautiful!

We hated to leave. The villa was more beautiful and spacious than the pictures led us to believe, and we felt so welcomed by Gabriella. It was if we were staying with family or friends, not as strangers. We struggled with getting there (our fault, due to a typo in the GPS) but Gabriella was so kind and patient with us. When we finally made it she was waving to us from the gate, what a welcome sight. She gave us a tour, showed us everything, and had some little welcome gifts for us as well! Amazing. The villa itself has breathtaking views of Lake Maggiore. Our only regret is that we were there during an extreme heatwave, so we couldn't enjoy the terrace as much as we would have liked because it was too hot outside. The villa was extremely well equipped, better than any other rental I've been in. We only cooked in a couple times, but could easily have done so all week if we'd wished. We drove in and out of Stresa because my 85-year old dad has mobility issues, so we couldn't take the walking path. But we loved Stresa, and enjoyed tooling around to other local areas like Arona, Lake Orta, and more. We would gladly return here, and recommend it highly to anyone seeking a peaceful, beautiful, and comfortable place to stay on Lake Maggiore. Thank you, Gabriella, for everything!!!!!
