Vacation rentals in Stresa

“A beautifully appointed apartment ...one of two restored by the hosts/owners in the last few years.Clearly, Geraldine & Lambert have gone to great lengths to enure the apartments were renovated to blend into the charming & historically significant surroundings. The apartment was perfect for a couple but could easily accommodate another 1-2 people. Geraldine greeted us warmly & ensured we had every thing we required. If driving, the apartment is not hard to find but is on a bend on a main road down to Stresa, so follow Geraldine's instructions carefully. The town centre is approx 5 minutes away by car (or about a 15 minute walk) down windy often quite narrow roads & ones that are well known to locals but to others could be a little tricky to 'navigate' . We found a vehicle extremely useful but local taxis are available. Be aware they are several steps on an external stairway to reach the apartment.... but worth the (minor) effort! The apartment has a comprehensive 'house manual' including details on local restaurants, activities & vine yards etc.....this which was extremely helpful & important to us as many rentals don t bother to include one in their apartment & guests are often left to struggle with operating unfamiliar appliances, heating etc or to locate local facilities in the area; it even included easy to follow instructions on walking tracks down to the centre of town ! Geraldine is a warm,very generous & professional host who was on call to give any assistance required. For us ,4 days was not enough ...thank you Geraldine for allowing us to stay in your warm, cosy & beautiful apartment....it was the perfect ending to our tour of Italy .(Lehnardo S -Australia)”

“An excellent place to stay with a warm and welcoming host Massimo. Exactly as described and even better than the photos. The room on the 2nd floor, up a few stairs has the most beautiful views of the lake and mountains, with high ceilings, a classy and very comfortable feel, with private bathroom. Plenty of hot water for a nice shower in the morning. Nice queen size bed, with warm comforter cover. Location was prefect, just up the hill from the center of Stresa (about 5 minute drive), parking was offered on the street a short walk from the apartment. Massimo offered us drinks and was excellent at communicating with our check in. His attention to detail was a delight, he even had the heat on for our arrival, to warm the room as it was a cool autumn day and rain forecasted. A few neighborhood dogs and some roosters were the only noise, otherwise a quiet and relaxing place. Would definitely stay here again!”

“The accommodation was very nice. The appartment was clean, cozy and it had a private little yard with a stunning view over Lago Maggiore. The communication was fluent and overall we enjoyed our stay at Patrizia's. Thank you again!”
