The hotel is in the perfect location - right on the main street, a close walk to the center of town. We had a beautiful view of the lake, and spent a lot of time on our deck. We even had a beautiful view of a rainbow! The service was great. We didn't eat in the restaurant because there were... more

This is one of the nicest hotels one could ever be in. Yet, it's a less pretentious than a few others, which this town has several amazing world-class hotels with style and character. I think this is one of the few that offers more consistent rooms - less variation between the rooms than some hotels. The staff is very friendly... more

Stayed at the LA Plama for five nights. It is a lovely hotel right on the lake with balconies that overlook the lake. The grounds are so pretty that passser by atop and take photos. The rooms are very spacious and comfortable. The bathroom is a nice size with a tub and handheld shower. If the weather is nice the... more

We loved La Palma. We arrived on a Sunday evening by car. A wedding party was in full swing in the garden and the atmosphere was great. We were welcomed by friendly helpful staff who offered to collect our luggage and park our car. We had a superb room 602 on the 6th floor with a side lake view and... more

This was a highlight of our five week vacation in Switzerland. We arrived in Stresa with no reservations on a hot August afternoon. Our guide book told us the hotel was fairly expensive, but had great value. The only room avaiable on this Friday night was the suite on the top floor for $300 and we decided to stay for... more

Great staff, friendly and helpful, unbelievable service. When we couldn't get a taxi on our early morning departure, a bellman got their car and drove us to the train station. We had a large, well appointed room with a nice balcony overlooking beautiful Lake Maggiore. The hotel is on a street with high end hotels facing the lake. Buffet breakfast... more

I think the best compliment we can pay La Palma is that we both had a nightmare getting to Stresa and were not in the greatest frame of mind upon arrival, but within a short time at this hotel - all was perfect! I was stuck in an Italian train station for 4 hours with 2 small children and my... more

Our first view of Stesa was of the line of hotels along the foreshore road with Lake Maggiore looking beautiful on our right.. La Palma is in a terrific location just a few hundred metres past the town and ferry station - a nice walk which we undertook on many occasions. From the outside the hotel looks splendid, well kept... more

Very friendly, helpful and expert staff; very comfortable and well-appointed rooms with superb views of Lake Maggiore (at front); breakfast a bit of a crush with good food and service, but no variety from day to day. A real pleasure to stay in. more
