Free mobile wifi is now offered making internet a truly mobile experience, even when you are on the road, Ideal for a group of friends or 2 families, two of the bedrooms have queen size beds while the third bedroom has a bunk bed and can accommodate two additional single beds to sleep a total of 4. The apartment is child friendly: one of the showers includes an infant tub; there is also a crib that can be utilized. In addition there is a ground floor bicycle room to accommodate for bicycles and strollers. The apartment is located on the top floor of a 3-story hill-side apartment building (see photo) near one of Italy's most visited lakes, Lago Maggiore and is just on top of Stresa, a prestigious historic town on the lake. Stresa with its harbor is one of the main gateways of Lago Maggiore - you can visit the Borromean Islands from here or cross over by boat to one of the other towns on the Lake. The local pebble beach is easily reachable. Nearby is a boat rental place. A car is desirable - although it is feasible to stay there without a car as a bus stop is near the apartment that will take you down to the harbor and as the center is down the hill and only 15 minutes by foot. You can pursue water sports on the lake, bicycling, horseback riding, golf and hiking in the summer and skiing and snowboarding in the nearby alps in the winter. You can also visit the markets in surrounding towns (Friday in Stresa, Saturday in Como) and the many cultural offerings of the Lago in summer months. In the winter there is the Montarrone mountain where you can ski during good snow seasons, if not major ski resorts are 45 minutes away. The apartment is close to two of Northern Italy's top golf courses. Distance to Malpensa airport is 30 minutes and about 45 minutes to Milan with its numerous cultural offerings. Turin, another major historic center of northern Italy is 1.5 hours. There is a direct hourly train (45 minutes) from Stresa train station (about 2 km from the apartment) to Milan. Please note high season summer rentals are weekly only Saturday to Saturday.

Great location and a superb place
Stresa is a great place to make it your base for the entire area. You can basically get any8and back within a day. However, no need to go far as just by hanging around Lago Maggiore there is plenty to do. The apartment is extremely spacious and clean. Everything and anything you need is there. Hot water(I know... It's July) are available at immediate touch and pressure is great. The host is very friendly and knows a lot about the are. We stayed the whole week with Audi A6 stw and always found a parking place by the building. I highly recommend and can assure you that I'll return.

Beautiful Views
The apartment was spacious and comfortable for 6 of us. The best part is the balcony which has amazing views over the lake! It was really nice to sit outside to eat and relax. The views from the living room and dining room was just as nice. The apartment is not far from the center of Stresa which has many nice restaurants and places to explore. I would definitely visit again!

saubere, helle Wohnung mit Balkon und spektakulärer Aussicht
grosse sonnendurchflutete Wohnung im 3.Stock (kein Lift). Gut eingerichtet mit schönen Möbeln. Wunderbar geeignet für eine Familie, da grosse Räume. Frau S.Cohen ist eine sehr nette Vermieterin und die Hausmeisterin Madame Roger ist hilfsbereit und äusserst freundlich. Stresa ist eine hübsche Stadt mit vielen kleinen Shops und schöner Seepromenade. Die Boromäischen Inseln liegen direkt vor Stresa mit guter Schiffsverbindung. Ich kann diese Ferienwohnung wirklich sehr empfehlen und die Landschaft am Lago Maggiore ist traumhaft schön!

Sensational views
Very comfortable apartment with all amenities you need with the only drawback being the location on the 3rd (top) floor with a fairly steep climb up several flights of stairs. Superb views over Lake Maggiore from the apartment balcony and in a quiet location although you definitely need a vehicle, as it is a solid trek up and down to the the town if on foot. The apartment is also somewhat difficult to find on arrival at Stresa so make sure you obtain very precise instructions regarding the location of the property. Stresa is a lovely lakeside town with several good restaurants/cafes and an excellent supermarket and bakery in the town centre and others just out of town. The small zoo on the outskirts of the town is worth a visit if you enjoy a stroll through beautiful gardens overlooking the lake and a boat trip on the lake to the Borromean Islands is also worth ticket.. All in all a very nice place to stay and a lot quieter that places on Lake Como.

Disappointed
We stayed in Stressa the second week in September. I must start by saying that the weather was not very good, maybe if the weather had been better my review would be different.. We found the apartment disappointing, while it was large it was also in need of some redecoration and attention . The view was good but being overtaken by the trees in front of the apartment, however this did mean that it was a 15minute walk down into Stressa. We did not hire a car as we enjoy walking and felt that this would not be a problem, however what we did not take into account was just how steep the walk down would be. This meant that when we went back up to the apartment it was just too steep, so we took a taxi which was 10/12 euros every time. (We accept that this was our mistake, we should have done more research) We feel that a car is a must for this apartment. Stressa is a nice town with lots of narrow streets and lovely lake front. However we stayed from 12th September and did find that it had an end is season feel about,

Thanks for the positive review between the lines. it is disappointing you only gave us 2 stars. I find it difficult to understand how the whether can effect your review of the apartment itself. As for the apartment decoration, the photos represent exactly how the apartment is decorated.

Two couples, one appartment, best place ever
Two couples, one great appartment with great view on the lake, miracle Lago Magiore surrounding, mobile wi fi, fair price, and most helpfull owner. Couldn't ask for more. Modern fully equiped kitchen, 3 bed rooms, 2 bath rooms, comfortable equiped living room, large balcony facing the lake and the mountains (and what was very imortant to us: very clean place). we got all the needed info of how to get, how to mannage in Stresa, and even great tips for our trip. Nice surprise waited as we arrived: some basic products in the kitchen (wine inclueded). Based on our doable epirience this July 2014 we would like to share our trip recomendations. Transportation: mostly by rented car: Cannobio market, Cannero Riviera, Villa Taranto/ Bellagio, Varenna, Villa Monastero/ Sighignola!, Villa Carlotta, Villa Balbianello!/ Milano by train/ Orta San Giulio, Isola San Giulio, Boleto, Varallo/ Borromee Islands and Motarrone. The apartmant is located on a 3d floor (thus gaining the great view). We are bunch of retired fellows who were fine with it, but may be some will find it uncomfortable. Hope we were helpfull. The place is highly recommended. Simon

Lovely views over lake maggiore
We really liked this apartment and found it very good value for money in what is a very popular (and expensive) tourist area. Stresa is a really pretty little town with easy access on the ferries to other towns and attractions. The Borromean Islands in particular are well worth visiting. The apartment was just outside of Stresa and was quite a way up the hill, hence the views over the lake. It was too far really to walk down into town unless you are very fit, although we did venture it once to visit the weekly market, down a pretty little historical pathway. The uphill was very strenuous but we knew that a car was necessary before we booked so weren't surprised by it. Fortunately Stresa was not as busy as I imagine it might get later in the summer and we parked easily every day on the road so did not have to pay any parking charges. The apartment had everything we needed, kitchen was well enough equipped enough to cook in, although we stuck to just cooking breakfast. We did miss a tea pot though!! We were pleased to have the free wi-fi which made it easy to contact the owner of the apartment by e-mail. Response was always prompt. The views were stunning and the apartment has a very large balcony overlooking what we thought looked like a small market garden. The whole area around the apartment was quite rural and very attractive. The rooms were really spacious and light and waking up in the morning to the view of the lake and mountains from the larger of the bedrooms was wonderful. The en-suite bathroom in one of the other bedrooms had a very fancy spa shower but we weren't able to make the massage jets work. There is just one thing, in our opinion, that would have made this better and that is to have some comfortable seating for the balcony. After a long day visiting the towns and attractions nearby we like to sit out and relax in an evening with a glass of wine and take in the view. The weather was hot enough to sit out until quite late. Unfortunately the only seats which could have been used outside were either dining chairs with straight backs, or fold up wooden chairs which came with a fold out table. Not really the type of seating to relax in. I don't think that the owner needs to spend a great deal of money, the fold up canvas garden/beach chairs which come in a bag would have been more than adequate. The apartment does in fact have two of these but they are child sized!! We were very happy with the space and cleanliness of the apartment and really enjoyed our few days there. Taken all round though we were very pleased with our choice of accommodation.

Beautiful view in a beautiful little town
The simply furnished apartment is situated atop a mountain which means it has a great view of the lake. It's a 15 minute walk to the the city center so it offers plenty of privacy. The walk back up is a bit steep, but a taxi is less than 10 euros back, if you prefer not to drive into the center. The apartment has all the necessities - wifi, cable, dishwasher, towels, sheets, and a place to lounge on the balcony. There are a few american-Euro adapters laying around the place too, in case you forgot to bring your own. It's well taken care of and there were no problems getting in touch with the owner. Definitely would recommend this apartment to people looking to have a relaxing weekend, a place to lounge, and great food.
