- Catherine (10/5): Parfait - Décor, ambiance, lieu Rien
- Elisa (8/5): -
- Cornelia (8/5): - Sehr netter Gastgeber, leckeres Frühstück! Bett war etwas instabil, wenn sich einer umdrehte, wurde der andere gut durchgeschüttelt.
- Angela (8/5): -
- Petra (8/5): wunderschöne kleine Pension - Die bisher veröffentlichten Bewertungen haben schon viel über diese entzückende kleine Pension in dieser wunderschönen historischen Villa gesagt. Wir haben dort zwei Nächte verbracht und waren sehr zufrieden. Der Gastgeber Maura war sehr zuvorkommend und gab uns gute Tipps zum Erkunden des Lago Maggiores.
Der Ort Belgirate ist klein und hat nur wenige Restaurants, in der Umgebung in Lesa und natürlich in Stresa gibt es hingegen ein sehr großes Angebot. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall gern wieder!
- Michèle (7/5): - Calme et bien placé
- Afua (9/5): - A big thank you to Mauro and Jane for being such compassionate hosts, I stayed here to attend a wedding and unfortunately was quite worse for drink the next day, but they went the extra mile and really helped me out. The room was clean and had a good view of the lake and is 10 minutes walk from the station and less than that for the bus stop. There is a choice to eat breakfast inside or outside in a lovely garden weather permitting.
- STEFANIA (9/5): sicuramente da ritornarci. - Atmosfera di charme, vagamente retrò, hoste simpatico, promotore di informazioni turistiche, le camere molto confortevoli, posizione ottimale, arredo curato, dal sapore antico.
Posizione ottimale, siamo stati molto bene. niente.
- Carlo (10/5): - Tutto perfetto

- Valérie (10/5): - L originalité du lieu vieille bâtisse, le confort et la propreté de la chambre pas de télé mais ne manque pas, une vue exceptionnelle sur le lac de la chambre et un bon petit dej dans le joli petit jardin ombragé j ai adoré.
- Andreas (9/5): Jederzeit wieder! - Herzlicher Gastgeber mit Infos zu Ativitäten, warmer Empfang. Kuschelige kleine Unterkunft. Alles bestens.
- Uwe (9/5): - Uriges kleines bed and breakfast Hotel
mit sehr herzlichen Besitzer, der auf Englisch, viele Tipps und Informationen über die Region und Sehenswürdigkeiten bereit hält, Die Nähe zur Bahnschiene hat uns nicht gestört. Frühstück mit sehr viel Liebe zubereitet und bei schönem Wetter im Garten mit toller Aussicht möglich
- Toscano (8/5): -
- Dylan (10/5): - In a beautiful area super close to lake maggirore, a short bus ride away from stresa where you can catch a ferry to isola madre, isola bella and isola pescatori. Mauro was lovely and a great host!! The breakfast was delicious with a large variety. Tutto benne!!
- Stephanie (10/5): - Très mignon, ce B&B est confortable et Mauro, notre hôte est très sympathique et de bon conseil. Bon petit dejeuner. L'accès est facile et plus calme que Stresa, néanmoins cette dernière est à moins de 10 minutes.
- Claude (8/5): Séjour apprécié - Très bon accueil. Suggestions et explications très utiles de visites
- Peter (8/5): - Mauro war ein guter Gastgeber half mit Ratschlägen und Tipps gute Unterkunft für kurz Reisen Belgirate liegt zentral gelegen Für Velotour nicht so gut alles auf Verkehrsstrasse
- SERGE (10/5): Séjour parfait - Excellent accueil de Jane et Mauro, très disponibles et de bon conseil. Très propre et calme. Petits déjeuners copieux et variés. Séjour excellent.
A recommander.
- Josny (10/5): - Great host Will definitely visit again
- Wim (6/5): - Aardige eigenaar
- Indie (9/5): Lovely B&B - B&B is perfect for a stay in Belgirate! Very close to town. The host is lovely and friendly and made us feel very welcome.
- Juha (10/5): We had a very enjoyable stay and we warmly recommend this place! - Very friendly hosting & service, nice clean room and facilities, it’s very quiet there and the breakfast is also good.
- Jasmine (9/5): Superb - My partner and I had a week's stay in Belgirate. The accommodation was just what we needed - A good sized air conditioned bedroom, a great breakfast, and fantastic hosts who would give us excellent recommendations each day of how to spend our day. It was a great base for our stay on Lake Maggiore.
- Marie Amélie (10/5): - Très bon accueil et hebergement de qualité
- Christian (10/5): - Very nice owner with a beautiful small hotel (3 rooms)
- Lea (10/5): Fin tur - Oppholdet mitt var fantastisk! En utrolig hyggelig mann som driver bed and breakfasten og utrolig fint og stille sted. Hvis du vil ha mer leven eller vil oppleve mer anbefaler jeg deg/dere å dra til Stresa der du kan få dagspass på båt til 3 ulike øyer. Ekstremt fin opplevelse.
- Yvonne (10/5): alte sympathique au lac majeur - excellent séjour, loueur très agréable, service parfait
- Issi (10/5): Experience a Lake Gem! - Wonderful feeling of living among the villa’s at Lago Maggiore
Very friendly & helpful owners
Lovely breakfast
Peaceful & quiet Nothing
- Jane (9/5): Superb - The location & the hosts
- ANNE (8/5): Mysig vecka vid Lago Maggiore - Bra: Storlek på rummet, nära sjön Lago Maggiore, bra frukost, trevlig värd Marco.
Mindre bra: som många andra påpekat väldigt lyhört. Trevliga trädgården vara bara tillgänglig under frukosten och till 12.00 inte på eftermiddagen när det hade behövts som bäst.
Men det positiva överväger det negativa, skulle kunna bo på stället igen
- Gilbert (10/5): Gilou octobre 2023 - Séjour très agréable avec Mauro le propriétaire aux petits soins et très attentionné.
Je conseille cet hôtel qui a un rapport qualité prix exceptionnel .
Gilbert
- Lino (10/5): - Pulitissima,proprietario molto gentile e disponibile,ambiente accogliente e familiare.
A pochi passi bellissima chiesetta del Xll secolo
Lo consiglio vivamente.
- Nicolas (10/5): - This place is conveniently located; clean; with very good breakfast and Mauro, the owner, makes sure your stay is satisfactory. Beautiful view of Lago Maggiore.
- Nikita (9/5): Felt like a homestay :) - The cleanliness and the hosts. They're a couple and take care great care of the property. The room had what we needed, like a hairdryer and AC. Nearby, we found nice views and restaurants. The bed was cozy, and the breakfast is simple yes, Italian, but honestly anyone can find its happiness. We had breakfast in the garden with a cute dog Liu (she's not in the garden with you, she's on the other private side of the property), she loves to play so feel free to indulge. Additional notes: parking can be a bit challenging but I'd be surprised if you don't find a spot within 5min walk; eye shades if you want to sleep in because you are guaranteed to have sun in the morning (there's a part above the windows that is basically another open window); it's quiet so earplugs only if you really need to; not many shelves or storage; really clean and tidied up; bed good and pillow is hard, thought I'd have issues but actually was fine. A lovely experience! We'd come back. We stayed two nights at this comfy B&B for a wedding. Pillows a bit hard probably, but I'm being picky. Morning light in the room, properly bright.
- Rodolphe (10/5): Super hôtes, super accueil - Super hôtes, super accueil, super logement, jardin très sympa, petit dej délicieux et copieux, à faire en famille ou en couple
- Gerald (10/5): - Très bien situé très calme le propriétaire est adorable rien a dire sinon que vous ne regretterez pas
- Antoinette (7/5): Good -
- elda (10/5): - Accueil chaleureux et proximité du lac intéressante
- Devinder (10/5): Exceptional - Breakfast was excellent, served in the beautiful garden. Mauro and Jane are really kind and saw to our needs. They really helped us with our luggages and made us feel very comfortable. The location is amazing with beautiful views of the lake. I would like to thank them for everything and absolutely recommend their B&B to our friends.
- laurent (10/5): Très bien - Très bon séjour de 3 nuits
Très bon accueil. On peut être surpris au début car il y’a la voie ferré mais c’est très calme en réalité
- Rose-Marie (10/5): - Séjour très agréable, les propriétaires sont charmants et au petit soin.
Nous recommandons cet bel endroit très calme et proche du lac.
- Stefano (10/5): Tutto stupendo, peccato per il bidet. - Struttura collocata in una villa ristruttura con vista sul lago. Titolari molto cortesi, ci hanno fornito indicazoini per le visite da effettuare e su come muoversi con i traghetti. Colazione abbondante e varia. Camera ordinata e con aria condizionata. Unica pecca, per noi, la mancanza del bidet.
- Frederic (8/5): - Accueil sympa. Bon emplacement.
- ELLENA (6/5): - D speciale niente,
- Marcus (8/5): 3 sehr schöne Tage im B&B Torre Lara - Das Haus und der Garten sind wunderschön gelegen in einer ruhigen Straße parallel zur Durchgangsstraße. Die Zimmer sind zweckmäßig und geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Das Bad ist geräumig und ebenfalls geschmackvoll eingerichtet. Aus unserem Fenster hatten wir auch einen schönen Blick auf den Lago Maggiore.
Mauro und Jane sind sehr nett und hilfsbereit und hatten zahlreiche Tipps und Vorschläge für Ausflüge und Aktivitäten.
Das Frühstück war ebenfalls sehr lecker und wir konnten einmal morgens draußen im Garten frühstücken. Die beiden anderen Tage war es leider zu kühl. Verständigung in Englisch klappte wunderbar.
Die einzigen negativen Aspekte sind von unserer Seite die doch sehr hellhörigen Zimmer und die nahe vorbeiführenden Bahnlinie. Wir haben beides aber nicht als besonders strend empfunden.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Très bon accueil, sympathique. Bel établissement et petit déjeuner parfait
- angela (10/5): Lovely guest house. - Such helpful and friendly owners - Jane and Mauro- who gave us so much information and advice about what to do on and around the lake. All three rooms were beautifully and tastefully furnished with lake views. Breakfast was delicious with fresh fruit. We would definitely stay again.
- Iain (10/5): B&B Torre Lara. Well located to explore Maggiore - Very welcoming hosts. Informative on options to explore. Breakfast in a lovely sun trap. The variety of fruit dishes was refreshing. Coffee was quality. Rooms cleaned and freshened up every day. Air con was quiet and effective. All in all a lovely place to stay.
Don’t be put off by a steep walk up from the shore nor the proximity to a train line. No issues at all.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Nice little B&B and friendly owners - Beatifull little B&B next to Lago Maggiore. Close to stresa and the port. The owners are super friendly and helpful. They gave us a lot of suggestions where to go and what to do.
- Ralph (10/5): Super Kurzzeit Aufenthalt. - Sehr schönes Haus, für eine Übernachtung völlig Ok. Tolles Frühstück. Bahnlinie direkt hinter dem Haus. Auch Nachts fahren Züge. Bei längerem Aufenthalt hätte uns dies wahrscheinlich gestört. Im Ort selbst gibt es nicht allzuviel anzusehen.
- Dedus (8/5): Grazioso, cordiale proprietario, ancora uno sforzo - La posizione permette di girare a piedi dall'attracco del traghetto a Lesa un paesino che ha anche il bancomat ed un supermercato.
La proprietà è cordiale, ma un pò approssimativa quando racconta cenni storici dei luoghi più interessanti da visitare. La colazione è curata.
Ci tengo a segnalare 2 cose da sistemare: sul treno che vibra (la casa confina con il muro del terrapieno della linea ferroviaria) è sopportabile perché risulta attuttito, ma non mi spiego l'assenza del bidé. La stanza con graziosa vista sul lago non è grande,ma il bagno davvero non poteva essere realizzato anche con il bidé? Inoltre, le finestre che danno ad est hanno 2 lunetta senza scuri il che porta ad avere il sole battente dalle 5. Bisogna pensare un modo x mettere gli ospiti in grado di dormire anche fino alle 7, 8 del mattino senza la luce del giorno.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - A comfortable and well equipped B&B in a quiet village and with walking distance to the lake and all amenities. The owners are friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is delicious.
- Deutschland (10/5): Liebevoll restauriertes Gebäude - Sehr herzlicher Empfang durch die Gastgeberin. Morgens gab es ein sehr leckeres Frühstück mit frischem Obst, Wurst, Käse und weiteren Köstlichkeiten. Wir haben die Frühstückszeit im Garten genossen. Uns hat die Bahnlinie nicht gestört. Sehr gut geht die Verständigung in Englisch oder Deutsch. Wir waren zu viert und kommen gerne wieder.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Grazioso B&B a pochi passi dalla meravigliosa passeggiata lungolago e romantiche camere rétro con vista lago. Da non perdere la colazione in giardino!
- Verified traveler (10/5): little B&B - a gem close to Stresa - Very cute little B&B with just three room - however, all are very nicely furnished and have a lake vie. Jane and Mauro make sure that their guest can make the best out of their stay and are well energized with a lovely breakfast - if weather permits even in the garden! Would definitively stay there again!
- Francis (10/5): - Excellent séjour de 3 jours sur les lacs Majeur et d'Orta.
Seul bémol: le B&B est placé juste en dessous de la voie ferrée
- Wolfgang (8/5): - Wir sind sehr nett begrüßt worden. Die Lage ist sehr ruhig es ist nur der Zug zu hören, die Bahnlinie verläuft genau hinter dem Haus. Mich hatte dies nicht gestört. Es ist sehr familiär, das Hotel hat nur 3 Zimmer
- Carole (10/5): Lovely restored home. - This is a good location from which to visit the west side of Lake Maggiore and a charming restored home. The hosts were delightful and very helpful in giving suggestions and directions. Our room was small but adequate and the breakfast was very nice in a lovely setting. We could walk to restaurants and felt like we were in a little village.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Cozy B and B, walk to destinations. - A cozy B and B run by a delightful and friendly couple. Immaculate and very modern and comfortable bed.
Only minor issue is remote parking due to the location in the town, but they were very accommodating in assisting with the move in and move out..
- Christoph (10/5): - Sehr freundliche Gastgeber, tolles Frühstück und schönes, gepflegtes Haus. Einziger Wermutstropfen: die Züge fahren nah am Haus vorbei.
- Martina (10/5): Bella location vista lago - Ho soggiornato in questo bed and breakfast per una sola notte con il mio fidanzato, i proprietari sono stati molto accoglienti e disponibili a consigliarci ristoranti e luoghi di interesse nelle vicinanze. Camera pulitissima con vista lago, colazione ottima e molto abbondante. La vicinanza ai binari fa sì che si senta il treno passare, ma a noi personalmente non ha dato fastidio. Consigliatissimo!
- S.P. (4/5): Don't stay here if you are a light sleeper - Trains throughout the night next to the house.
Outside temp 12deg C but no heating, hence no shower.
No wired Internet as advertised.
Very good breakfast.
- Paul (8/5): - You will get a warm welcome from your host Mauro. Torre Lara is about 750 metres from the Belgirate Rail station...exit and turn right...it's an easy walk. Mauro has all the info for you...restaurants, bus and ferry times...and the ferry terminal and bus stop about 150 metres away.
Go to Osteria Degli Amici restaurant in Stresa with confidence...Mauro's recommendation. We had the Costoletta Vitello and Entrecôte Griglia with roast vegetables and potatoe....and a bottle of Garvi Cortese and a couple of glasses of red...all up 79 Euro. Outstanding.
Spent 3 hours at Villa Taranto at Verbania...get the ferry from Beligrate. Magnificent garden. Dahlias were in full bloom...over 300 varieties and 1700 plants. So many photo opportunities at the garden...my tip is for better shots go early or late...best not in full sun.
Mauro also pointed us to Pizzeria Il Regno di Napoli in Verbania Intra for lunch...really good. About a km from the garden.
We had six nights at Torre Laura...very comfortable, good breakfast and good location and in touch with Stresa and other villages.
- muriel (8/5): bon rapport qualité prix - Très gentils.Très bien placé pour visiter les alentours et prendre le bateau sur le lac. Petite peur en voyant qu' on est juste sous la voie ferrée mais pas de problème finalement. Juste un petit bémol on entend beaucoup la chambre voisine mais comme nous étions ensemble cela nous a moins dérangés. Petite salade de fruits maison tous les matins
- PERINE (10/5): Cosy ! - Très bon accueil, très bon lit, petit-déjeuner délicieux et copieux, vue sur le lac, et bonnes adresses du propriétaire, nous recommandons ce B&B.
- anne (8/5): B&B accueillant - Charmante adresse dans la station balnéaire de Belgirate, atmosphère familiale
- Verified traveler (10/5): B and b très sympa - Accueil super petit dejeunes dans le jardin super appréciable
- alain (10/5): bonne adresse pour visiter le lac majeur - propriétaires sympathiques, accueillants et disponibles pour toute information. chambres propres et confortables. stationnement possible dans la rue. voie ferrée derrière la maison. bon petit déjeuner dans le jardin.
- Eli (10/5): ein wunderschöner Platz mit viel Charme - wir hatten einen 2tägigen wunderschönen Aufenthalt In einem mit viel Liebe zum Details renovierten alten Ital. Haus. Herzliche, liebenswürdige Gastgeber.Wir kommen sicher nochmal!!
