Guest Reviews

• Lebedeva (5/5): Sono felice per la terrazza con la vista spettacolare sul lago, ma l’appartamento in sé è sporco e non è in buone condiz - La vista è semplicemente stupenda, esattamente quello che volevo. Si vedono l’Isola Bella e il lago stesso. Di fronte alla terrazza non ci sono altre case né finestre di altre persone (ci sono alberi davanti), il che crea un’atmosfera accogliente e rilassante. Ci sono anche delle comode poltrone sulla terrazza. In generale, se si sceglie questo appartamento, è solo per la terrazza spettacolare con vista e per l’ottima posizione nel centro di Stresa. Appartamento sporco. Per questo prezzo ti fanno anche preoccupare di dove e come buttare la spazzatura, altrimenti multa di 50€. Per questo prezzo non ti lavano nemmeno i piatti, dicendo che non è incluso nel costo — sono scioccata. La cabina doccia non si chiude perché manca proprio la porta, quindi tutta l’acqua esce fuori.
• Giulia (1/5): Veramente questo posto lavora SOLO per la vista. Tutto il resto da dimenticare! Condominio con un odore orribile di muff - La vista Tutto il resto
• Chantal (8/5): - L'emplacement idéal pour visiter les îles Dommage qu'il faille monter 72 marches d'escalier. Parking payant Eau froide et eau chaude pas de pression.
• Romane (5/5): - L'échange par message est fluide et sympathique. Une jolie attention, le verre offert dans un bar environnant. La localisation de l'hébergement et la vue depuis les terrasses sont les points forts. Hors saison, le lac majeur est agréable à découvrir! Dans l'hébergement, il y a clairement un dysfonctionnement concernant l'eau, aucune pression dans la douche et au robinet de la cuisine, ainsi que le chauffage qui s'arrête à une certaine heure (autant dire qu'il ne faisait pas chaud). Dans la salle de bain, une odeur similaire à des remontées d’égout? Et il manque une porte de douche. Au niveau de la cuisine, les ustensiles ne sont pas en nombres et pas en super état (nous avons du relaver la vaisselle car ça n'était pas propre). Toutes les portes ont été retirées mais pourquoi? Car quand le soleil se lève, la lumière entre dans tout l’hébergement. La porte d'entrée est très fine et laisse passer l'air (courant d’air froid). L'installation électrique laisse à désirer, je ne suis pas sûre que cela soit aux normes... Par ailleurs, à savoir concernant la localisation, l'appartement est collé à une église. Il n'y a pas de parking attitré mais quelques places aux alentours (blanches) ou des parkings payants (bleues).
• Claudia (4/5): -
• Andreas (9/5): - Aussicht und Lage waren hervorragend, man muss halt einige Stufen hoch gehen. Ausstattung ausreichend für 2 Personen
• Patrycja (10/5): - Doskonała lokalizacja! Blisko do jeziora, dworca, restauracji, sklepów. Przepiękny widok z tarasu na jezioro, wyspę i góry. Właściciele kontaktowi i ugodowi 🙂
• Jacob (6/5): Gelukkig was de locatie in de stad uitstekend, anders ging dit zijn dure prijs niet waard zijn. - Locatie en terras waren top. Faciliteiten: Alles is toch maar erg brik brak gemaakt. Ik heb het gevoel dat dit appartement met zo weinig mogelijk tijd en kosten zoveel mogelijk moest opbrengen. Douchedeur was kapot bij aankomst en het rolluik ging stuk tijdens ons verblijf. Er werd wel naar ons geluisterd en zo snel mogelijk een klusjesman gestuurd.
• Francesco (5/5): - La posizione centrale Le dimensioni del bagno oggi simile a quello di un aereo/ la portata dell'acqua sembra un goccia goccia / i 70 gradini per arrivare in casa sono eccessivi / la possibilita' di oscurare la finestra dello spogliatoio
• miriam (5/5): - La vue était vraiment bien L’état de l’appartement, il est sale et insalubre. La pression d’eau de la douche était catastrophique. L’odeur de l’appartement pas terrible. La porte du bâtiment principale est hyper compliqué à ouvrir heureusement qu’y avait les voisins
• LEE-BROWN (9/5): Had some problems initially with communication as we need wifi to communicate and couldn’t access it . The code for entr - Great view and great position Too many stairs no lift. Prefer a property with reception.
• wesley (8/5): Amazing view - Loved the balcony, bed location And how quiet the road is at night The 5 or so flight of stairs - definitely not for people less mobile The shower pressure was not good and there was a squeeling pipe noise that went through the building late at night
• Lisa (6/5): Toller Ausblick in älterer Wohnung - Die Lage der Unterkunft war super. Sehr zentral und trotzdem recht ruhig. Vom Balkon aus hat man einen super Ausblick und die Größe der Wohnung ist vollkommen ausreichend. Das Bett ist bequem und die Ausstattung passt im Großen und Ganzen. Die Klimaanlage hat problemlos funktioniert. Das Türschloss so wie der Griff sind in keinem guten Zustand und man hat Angst, ob man überhaupt hereinkommt oder plötzlich den Griff in der Hand hat. Die Wohnung ist insgesamt zu hell, da Türen zu den Zimmer ohne Rollos, fehlen. Dadurch wacht man früh auf und das Rollo im Schlafzimmer reicht nicht aus. Leider war auch die Bettwäsche nicht sauber, sondern fleckig. Unschön. Der Wasserdruck ist deutlich zu niedrig, was das Duschen bzw. Haare waschen erschwert. Außerdem sollten ein Rollo und eine Tür der Dusche repariert werden. Nur das Rollo wurde repariert. Die Ausstattung in der Küche ist sehr begrenzt. Schälchen und bessere Messer wären wünschenswert. Insgesamt stimmt das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis nicht. Wenn man wenig Ansprüche hat und eine gute Lage sowie tollen Blick möchte, dann sollte es passen.
• Левчик (10/5): -
• Henning (8/5): Very nice - Location, view, easy access, awesome terraces. No waterpressure, hard to take a shower. Apartment door very hard to open.
• Stewart (10/5): Fantastic stay with incredible terrace - Fantastic location, amazing terrace which is a sun trap! Nothing!
• Marcin (6/5): Pleasant -
• Ben (5/5): Very poor - Good location in the middle of stressa. Nice views from the balcony of the apartment Contact free check in if that's important to you The photos used on the listing would make you think this property is upmarket and quite fancy - this is absolutely NOT the case. The photos really make this apartment look better than it is. We were extremely disappointed when we arrived, the whole place felt very shabby and run down and in need of refurbishment. Main things of note I would say are The kitchen is absolutely tiny, in my opinion the photo on the listing makes it look a reasonable size but it is very small. Both balcony's looked horrifically run down. One had an old rusted clothes dryer on it and the other had a reasonable balcony seating set. The main issue was just the absolute shoddy run down artificial grass which made it look awful. A lot of electrics just slapped together and really not neat or tidy at all. Curtains in the bedroom are about 2m too long for the room and look stupid. Missing door handles on the shower screen which also was an absolute pain to shut, not smooth at all as if the door has came off it's runners or needs replaced. Shower pressure also very poor. Front door key felt like it was going to snap every time it was unlocked. Notice saying guests had to take their own rubbish out or would be charged. What on earth that's about I don't know. Overall really disappointed and would not stay here again. It could really do with being updated.
• Peter (6/5): pleasant 3 night stay with great terrace, but otherwise limited. - rooftop terrace with view to the lake and city. It made all other things acceptable. Location very good close to lake and all city facilities. Bedroom very pleasant with view across terrace to Isolabella Seperate dining room with roof terrace. Had problem finding the house, from information given. The house address is no. 20 but not given in the instructions. keybox was padlocked to a window bar but no identification. 4 flights of steps to top floor was a bit arduous for us but maybe a problem for others. bathroom very small - shower cubicle, toilet and basin in 2m2 space. It was adequate for us but not ideal. Facilities were limited - no coffee machine just a small Moka coffee maker. Equipment limited in kitchen.
• Karen (8/5): For the superb location and 'THAT' view its very good value for money and we would stay again! - The amazing view - the WOW factor. Really central location. A lovely place to de-stress in Stresa. Impero House sent a video of how to locate the exact property. (My husband was familiar with the lock box but I wouldnt have had a clue) Steps upto apartment - twice in 1 day is enough. Couldnt quite work out heating. Extra bedding but no extra sheets/pillow cases. The little interaction from hosts could put people off.
• Louise (5/5): Rustic Apartment with view - The view was very good. The bed was comfortable. The address given was 4 via Cavour but the number was in fact 20. I sent a WhatsApp to them to say I couldn't find it. They did not mention to look for number 20 instead. This meant we spent about 20 mins looking for the place with our luggage having travelled non stop from Australia. Once inside we had to climb 72 stairs with heavy bags. The bathroom was very small and the TV didn't work properly and there were no English channels. We had booked for 4 nights but only stayed for 1 night.
• Weinberg (9/5): Superb -
• Thomas (10/5): Exceptional - Perfect localisation to visit Stresa, and to go to the islands. And a Lovely view from the appartement ! Great place !
• Glyn (10/5): Exceptional - Brilliant location and value for money. Highly recommended.
• Catherine (3/5): Extremely disappointing and expensive. - The view. Air conditioning unit. Location good. Number on wall in street 20 not 4 so hard to find. 72 steps(no warning no lift) tiny kitchen badly equipped. Tiny bathroom. Basin plug didn’t work. No bedside tables. Curtains too long and too narrow, pictures not hung on wall .clothes shelves not fit for purpose. Threatening note about emptying rubbish but instructions for emptying not clear. No prior warning of visitor tax to be paid in cash.
• Monica (8/5): Nice - The sight Check in - check out times
• Lisa (9/5): Amazing views from bed and roof terrace, perfect! - The view to the Borromean Islands and the lake was stunning. The roof terrace and dining room brilliant! Very limited kitchen equipment, only one large knife and bread knife.
• Emma (8/5): Lovely views and fab location but not the smartest. - The view from the balcony was gorgeous and the location was perfect to explore Stresa and the Borromean Islands. Having two balconies to make the most of the sun was also great. It had everything I needed for a short stay. Very easy to get hold of the hosts and they put up with me being blonde about getting into the lock box! Some of the fittings were not very smart, for example the casing around the plug socket kept coming off. There were some slight imperfections, i.e it's not luxury or maybe as smart as a mid-range/chain hotel room but perfectly adequate and the views were the main feature anyway. Bathroom wasn't very big.
• Vivien (8/5): Very good - The view over the lake and comfortable bed. Too many stairs up. Bathroom and kitchen are very small. It is old and needs some renovation for the price of the rental.
• Jean (9/5): a delightful place to stay and reasonably priced. - The decor is delightful and the accommodation shows the touch of loving care. The view over the lake from the bedroom window and terrace is stunning. The climb up 72 steps is a challenge , but good daily exercise. we were not instructed about opening the main door to the street, but Impero responded promptly to the problem.
• Kathryn (8/5): Very good -
• Elena (8/5): very authentic Italian flat with amazing view and very easy to communicate stuff - location is superb. close to everything. amazing view. good working AC/heating system. bed was comfortable, linens are snow white shower!!!! could not make it work, very little water. but I think it’s common in old buildings
• Timothy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Lbd46 (10/5): Best private views of the lake in a well appointed apartment - Dolce Casa - By Impero House was a fantastic find. Very central with fantastic views and very comfortable bed. The attic apartment has been very well designed and had everything that we could have wanted. The balcony couldn't have been better with lots of furniture and one of the best views of the lake. It was very easy to deal with Impure House and they were very helpful and gave very clear instruction on how to get the key. We were aware that there is no lift, and it is very clear on this. That would have been nice but certainly didn't spoil our stay.
• Joshua (6/5): location is perfect, from the balcony a great view to the lake but the rest is below average and below expectation. - great location and great view. need to climb up 70 stairs (no elevator) and carry up heavy suitcases. no soap or shampoo, no wine glasses, was hard to adjust the shower water temperature. reported on missing light in the stairway but no one fixed it.
• Christian (10/5): Excellent - Beautifull location in a quiet area
• Eddy (7/5): Good -
• Daniela (4/5): - in the pictures it look perfect. But on persona it was terrible. A deep clean needed (I found dirty dishes, sofa with stains, terrace compleatly dirty). Also the walls and finishing was old and ugly. It’s on the 4th floor with no elevator. Bad communication with the host. He arrived late and I had no teleohone numbers to call! No one! Overpriced. It should cost 50 euros maximum...not more than the doulble! Orrible pillow...no blanket....no hairdryer....
• Verified traveler (2/5): Pessima esperienza, per niente “dolce” - L’appartamento è estremamente scomodo da raggiungere poiché è sprovvisto di ascensore. Inoltre non è per nulla isolato termicamente e quindi fa molto molto caldo, soprattutto considerando che è privo di aria condizionata. Il Wi-Fi, a parte il primo giorno, non ha mai funzionato. Le foto lo mostrano più bello di quello che è in realtà. Il bagno non è dotato di bidet. In più l’ombrellone nel terrazzo è costantemente in pericolo perché essendo una zona ventosa è pericoloso tenerlo aperto.
