Staff were very efficient and polite. Gave some good places to visit in Stresa. The room was very small, one small chair and no table. Had to use floor to place luggage and belonging. Not a nice room, regretted staying at this hotel!

Fantastic family hotel!
Really lovely family hotel set just back from the main promenade in Stresa. Beautiful gardens and a really well kept and well run hotel. The staff were all welcoming and friendly. The pool area is secluded and very well managed. Our room was perfect, with a large terrace that had views of the lake and was bathed in sunshine for most of the day. Perfect!

Construction noise from the house being built between the lake and this hotel, when that house is done, rest of the limited view of the lake is gone, at least from the room we stayed at. We could never figure what the noise from the walls was all night long (loud clicking type of sound, probably plumbing), but we slept very little during our one night there. Only stay during our one week vacation that I would not recommend.

Good location, good parking and good breakfast
Good location. The hotel is clean and bright. Breakfast is good and COVID procedures well managed and delivered. We booked a room with a balcony and lake view. This was in the roof and with hindsight we would have been better off with a normal room with a lake view. Bathrooms are very old but I understand that there are plans to upgrade them over the winter. Overall we enjoyed our stay but the hotel was a bit overpriced for the room we had.

A wonderful place to stay in Stresa
Very good location and the best customer service I have experienced at any hotel in Europe. David and Elena go the extra mile to make sure that questions are answered and things are taken care of. The quality and variety of the food at breakfast was great. Easy walk to the center of town and the boat dock along with quick access to the cable car up the mountain. Would definitely stay there again

We had a delightful time while staying at Hotel La Fontana. The staff was extremely helpful and courteous. Our room was spotlessly clean. White linen table clothes were always spotless at breakfast. Regardless if we ate early or late, there was always plenty. A villa that has been transformed into a warm friendly hotel. Plenty of free parking. Close to town and a great location. We will be back! Thank you so much for such a delightful stay... Dorothy and Tom

Our stay at La Fontina was very nice! The hotel is a small boutique hotel. The staff was friendly & helpful. The location was great right along the lake. Next to many restaurants within a one minute walk. The beds were Very comfortable! I have a bad back & slept wonderfully! I’d definitely recommend this hotel. The only negative was the breakfast was 20 Euros for a buffet European style breakfast. Although it was more complete then others, that’s still a bit over the top.....

Best customer service. The owner of the hotel is kind and gentle. Good breakfast. Good location. It is between train station and the center. Also good view - facing Lake Maggiore and quiet. This is the third time I have stayed in this hotel and are still satisfied with the customer service as well as the location. However I have noticed that the condition of hotel got older and may need refurbished. The toiletries provided in bathroom is less than in the past. In the past there was kettle, coffee and tea provided in the room and now no more.
