Suite Romantic vista Lago

Patrizia is a gem! Her apartment is so comfortable and relaxing. She is so helpful and warm, I felt very taken care of and it was evident she cares a lot about making sure her guests have a nice vacation.

Great central location but quiet, with good views from two terraces and well equipped. Very spacious private garage about 100m up the road. Patrizia was excellent host, very keen to ensure we had all we needed. Recommended.

We had an issue with the garage where work was being done above but that was not Patrizia's fault - otherwise it would have been a 10....

The location was superb - very short distance to supermarket (straight across the road), all piazzas, lakeside promenade, lake ferry terminal, and we were able to walk from the railway station to the apartment. Even though the apartment is centrally located it was very quiet inside. The views from both balconies were beautiful. Our host, Patrizia was in regular contact with us to ensure all our needs were met - she even picked us up on the day of our departure to deliver us to the train station on time!

Location, location, location! (and BEST hostess on the planet, PATRIZIA!) This beautifully appointed 4th/top-floor apartment has two spectacular balconies (always the choice between sun and shade, lake and Alps views from both, nearby scenic mountainside views from one)..... espresso in the morning, wine and cheese in the evening was our strategy there! The elevator and stairs make access a breeze for all, and you are steps from everything you want in Stresa: groceries across the street, main shopping square under 100 yards, lakefront sites including ferry docks to the three beautiful and nearby Borromean Islands 4 to 5 blocks away, and so many restaurants, pizzerias, and Gelato shops within 5 minutes walk that it would take weeks to try them all! A vibrant and alive small town that is totally walkable, exceptionally safe and secure, full of interesting shops. Patrizia is a most caring hostess! She recommended great day trips and restaurants, and checked in with regularity by message to see if there was anything we needed to make our stay most enjoyable. I liked that we felt no need for a car, and between the train station (a ten minute walk, one change 3 stops from airport at Busto Arsizio stop, NOT at the second stop Busto Arsizio Nord!! to get to Stresa in slightly over an hour for 12 euros each OR the scheduled Milan Malpense airport transport on Alibus ( https://safprenotazioni.com/SafAlibus2000/ advance booking only) from a convenient pickup point 4 blocks from the apartment for 19 euros each way. Of course cabs are available for, I am certain, well over 100 euros (we saved that money for discretionary wine purchases at the incredible LaCambusa shop 3 blocks away, with thousands of bottles including rare finds, in addition to great culinary items.)

As far as the Romantic Suite, with its modern kitchen, large beautifully appointed living area, super comfy bed, breathtaking views from a high vantage point 3 blocks from lakeside, and gorgeous marble bathroom with Jacuzzi tub, there was NOTHING NOT to like! BUT: Booking.com seemed to go to extreme measures to be sure that the owner could not communicate directly with the renter and visa-versa: as a result, multiple detailed emails that the owner tried to send us regarding her easy self check-in procedure were NEVER received which delayed our access to the apartment for hours unnecessarily. Likewise, my special requests to our wonderful hostess were never received so she had no opportunity to oblige. Booking should revise this policy!! Insist on receiving all needed check -in instructions from your hostess.

Location in Stresa just fabulous. Get off the bus and walk up about 5 minutes away. Easy when you are pulling suitcases.

Nothing and the Host Patrizia is awesome.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Suite Romantic. The apartment was incredibly cozy and the balcony offered breathtaking view of the lake. The location was perfect, right in the heart of Stresa. We found it very convenient to have access to everything the city has to offer, from the boats to the islands, to the many restaurants, shops and even the train station. A special mention must go to our host Patrizia. Her warmth and hospitality made our stay even more memorable. We deeply appreciated her efforts to provide us with a wonderful experience throughout our time there.

Honestly, this is the most caring owner I have ever met in my life. Everything in this beautiful apartment is done for the convenience of the guests. A very cosy apartment, as if the owners made it for themselves. The kitchen has all the necessary items: my husband enjoyed cooking almost every evening. The bathroom is very beautiful and comfortable - with jacuzzi. Comfortable bed and clean linen. The view from both balconies is an art in itself. Having breakfast on the balcony with the view on the lake and snow-covered mountains is a fantastic experience! The owner of the apartment showed an enormous care - she recommended the best restaurants, excursions, and places to see in the city and around. For a rainy day they even prepared umbrellas! The location seems to be the best in the entire city. There is a grocery store opposite the place. Within a two-minute walk there is an amazing local cuisine restaurant Papagallo. Around four-minute walk to catch a ferry. At the same time, the apartment is quiet, we slept with the windows wide open, just like babies. If ever returning to Stresa, without a second thought - we know where to stay! Massive thanks to the owners for everything! We had the most romantic vacation in Italy.

Very friendly hostess, nothing too much trouble. Great location, quiet, very comfortable bed!

Nothing, everything was great.

The apartment was very clean, well equipped and the area it was in very quiet, clean and handy for everything. The host was friendly and kept in touch throughout with advice and lifts from and to the train station as the weather wasn't great.The hosts advice on places to visit and eat was excellent also.

There was nothing to dislike. The only issue we had was that many places were closed due to the time of year and the weather neither of which the host could control
