About this property
Apt in Stresa, superb view of Lake Maggiore, balcony, WiFi, A/C, garage & garden
The "Serena apartment is located up on the first hill 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, less than 10 minutes on foot via a private footpath) 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 Serena apartment has free Wi-Fi/Internet. Air-conditioning and heating are also included in the price. Garage and parking at the property (+ EV-charging point). On the balcony, you also have a power point to charge electric bikes. The apartment is on the 3rd floor and there is a lift.
The bright, spacious living room has been stylishly furnished and has a comfortable double sofa bed, satellite television and fully-equipped open-plan kitchen (dishwasher, microwave oven/ mini oven, kettle, toaster, fridge/freezer, electric coffee-machine) and dining table and chairs. It opens out onto a balcony with table and chairs where you can eat outside and enjoy the fabulous views over Lake Maggiore.
There are 2 double bedrooms (or two twin-bedded rooms). One bedroom has a balcony and lake view, the other has a view of the garden. It has 2 bathrooms with 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 4 people; for each additional person it is 15 Euros per day, plus VRBO commission.
The apartment can sleep up to 6 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 (for a small supplement).
