Wonderful views. Delicious Mood of Tranquility and Wellbeing. - Spacious, clean, with space and comfort. An awakening full of views of Lake Maggiore. Very close by car to the center of Stressa, from where boats depart to the Borromean Islands

A wonder to admire - The Palais Borromée is a small wonder both from the point of view of the treasures it houses (paintings, moldings, statues...) and its garden cut with rope.

Our guide was amazing, he... - Our guide was amazing, he knew all of the history and details along the way. Fabulous story telling as we worked our way through the palace and gardens. He was even flexible with the start time for us.

Avoid on a Sunday - We were booked to visit all three islands on a Sunday. After visiting Isola Madre as it opened which was so peaceful, we went on to Isola Pescatori which was overcrowded with so many boats and uninspiring restaurants. Luckily we managed to get a table at Casa Bella which was excellent. Our mistake was to take the boat to Stresa since we were too tired to go on to Isola Bella. Stresa's promenade lacks the elegance of its heyday. I would recommend just visiting Isola Bella.
