About this property

Apt in Stresa, superb view of Lake Maggiore, balcony, WiFi, A/C, garage & garden

The "Fiorita" apartment is located up in the hills above Stresa (about 250 m) and has panoramic views over Lake Maggiore and the surrounding countryside and mountains. It is surrounded by a large, fenced garden and is only 1 km (5 minutes in the car, about 10 minutes' walk downhill) from the bustling town centre of Stresa. The location is very peaceful and quiet.

Stresa is 42 km (less than an hour) from Milan-Malpensa airport. From the end of March to the end of September there is a bus service called "Alibus" which takes you directly from Malpensa airport to Stresa. Alternatively, a taxi can be arranged for you (120 Euros single).

Its railway station connects you easily with Milan (45 mins fast train), where you can shop, sightsee, or simply sip a coffee and watch the world go by in the majestic Piazza del Duomo.

Stresa is the most popular tourist destination on Lake Maggiore and it's not hard to see why. With its beautiful lakeside promenade dotted with grand Belle Époque hotels and villas, its sunny beach and outdoor swimming pool (Lido Carciano), its delicious restaurants and little shops, many selling local products, its mountain walks and lake sports, there is something for everyone.

The town faces the famous Borromeo Islands of Isola Bella and Isola Pescatori so just hop on any ferry to discover the enchanting beauty of Lake Maggiore, its fascinating villas along the shore, the Piedmont towns of Arona and Intra and the picturesque town of Laveno nestled on the other side of the lake in Lombardy. You can even take a full-day boat tour all the way up the lake to Switzerland (Ascona and Locarno).

Less than an hour's drive away are the ski slopes and nature trails of the Mottarone mountain.

The Fiorella apartment has free Wi-Fi/Internet. Air-conditioning in all the rooms and heating are also included in the price. Garage and parking at the property (+ EV-charging point). On the terrace (30m2), you also have a power point to charge electric bikes.

The apartment is on the 2nd floor and there is a lift.

The bright, spacious living room (25m2) has been stylishly furnished and has a double pull-down Murphy bed (200 x 160 cm) which can comfortably sleep two people (this is a proper bed and not a sofa bed), smart TV and a fully-equipped open-plan kitchen (dishwasher, microwave combi oven kettle, toaster, fridge/freezer, electric coffee-machine) and dining table and chairs. It opens out onto a large terrace (30m2) with table and chairs, sofa and armchairs, where you can eat outside and enjoy the fabulous views over Lake Maggiore.

There is 1 double bedroom (or twin-bedded room). The bedroom opens out onto the terrace (30m2) and has a lake view. It has 1 bathroom with large shower and bidet.

There is a separate utility room with washing machines, dryer and iron + ironing board on the ground floor of the residence for the guests to use.

The listed price is for 2 people; for each additional person it is 25 Euros per day, plus VRBO commission.
The apartment can sleep up to 4 people.

Please note there is the Holiday Tax (Tassa di Soggiorno) of 1 Euro per person per day, children under 6 excluded, to pay on arrival (in cash).

A dog is welcome (15 Euros per day plus VRBO commission).

This place is amazing. The view is phenomenal, the place is impeccable, the bed is comfortable and everything is top-notch. It’s up on a hill above the main part of Stresa, about a 10 minute walk. You can’t go wrong renting this place.

Warm friendly reception by the Manager, spacious, clean, modern, well equipped apartment, with garage parking and a spectacular view of Lake Maggiore from a large balcony made this a perfect place to stay for our 5 days.

Perfect Views, Perfect Host

We are a couple in our 60’s and this accomodation was perfect. Our initial concern regarding the walk up from the town was unfounded. The views, space and facilities of the apartment were great. Our host, Giuliano was exceptional. I’d recommended staying here just to have him as your host!

Perfect place for visiting Lake Maggiore

My husband and I spent a week in this Apartment. It was wonderful, we had convenient car parking and an immaculate apartment that is very well equipped. Want to return next year...The apartment has a spectacular view of the lake and surrounding mountains from a private veranda. Wonderful place to stay without busting the budget!!!!

Wonderful!

Beautiful, bright, and airy apartment with gorgeous views of Lake Maggiore from the living room, bedroom, and spacious balcony. The apartment is perched on a hillside above town (maybe a 10 minute walk) and we enjoyed having a quiet retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the town center and waterfront areas. Check-in was easy and it was a pleasure dealing with all concerned. We'd happily rent here again!

We loved hanging out on the balcony and just staring at the beautiful lake and the view of the town below. It's an easy downhill walk to the town and you get to see places you'd miss if you were traveling by car. Guiliani gave us recommendations for restaurants that turned out to be valuable, and he helped us out in many other areas as well. The apartment is all that we expected and more. The train station is close and easy to get to his apartment, although I would suggest booking a taxi if you have luggage because of the hill.The view is outstanding and you are far enough away from the touristy area. I definitely recommend this stay and hope to be back one day.

Everything was perfect exept the sun does not come on the balcony until after 5 oclock and the furniture on the balcony is not comfortable. But the lake view is adorable :) Thank you Chantal for a very nice stay.

Had a fantastic 5 night stay in this beautiful apartment . Spotlessly clean and with every comfort. The balcony was exceptional (and safe for our dog) with fabulous views and plenty of seating - exactly like in the photos. The host, Giuliano, met us at the property for check in and was always around if you needed anything. It is pet friendly and there is undercover parking.

Mais ce n'est pas tout : l'appartement est très propre, confortable et bien équipé, le balcon assez grand pour y manger confortablement à quatre personnes, la localisation est juste parfaite à 10-15 minutes à pied du centre ville, des nombreux restaurants et des plages.

Wunderschöne Wohnung mit allem Komfort und traumhaftem Blick auf den Lago

Wir waren vom ganzen Aufenthalt begeistert. Die Wohnung ist wunderschön und sehr modern eingerichtet. Der Verwalter Giuliano ist sehr freundlich und stets hilfsbereit. Sensationell ist die Klimaanlage im Wohn- und Schlafzimmer. Bei den Temperaturen ein Segen. Die Küchenzeile ist mit allem ausgestattet, was man sich wünschen könnte. Sehr bequemes Bett; alles sehr schön und geschmackvoll eingerichtet.

Sehr saubere Wohnung mit unglaublich schönem Blick auf den Lago Maggiore und Stresa. Die Lage ist prima als Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge oder einfach auch nur für Spaziergänge in Stresa. Das Zentrum von Stresa ist über viele Treppenstufen super schnell fußläufig zu erreichen- zugegeben zurück die Treppen hoch dauert etwas länger 😉. Wir kommen gerne wieder!
