This was our second stay at the Hotel La Fontana, and I must say we looked forward to our 2-day stay as part of a 2 week tour of Northern Italy. First, the hotel facility is well decorated, is clean and neat, and provides amply sized rooms, bathrooms, and in our case a large balcony overlooking the lake with a... More

Having had Hotel la Fontana recommended by a friend in Australia, we booked online...having checked TripAdvisor as well. We arrived on a glorious sunny day, and were pleasantly surprised to be allowed into our adjoining rooms when we arrived, rather than having to wait until later in the afternoon. Signor Guiseppe, his wife Christine, and daughter Valentina take great care... More

We recently returned from our 5th stay at the LaFontana Hotel which overlooks Lago Maggiore and is a 10 minute walk to the Island ferry's and the center of town. The rooms are comfortably modest and offer great views. The beds are comfortable and the bathrooms impeccably clean. The hotel has a larger sitting room and smaller intimate bar to... More

As my husband and I look back on our three-month tour of Italy, France and Britain, we remember with delight our five-night stay at Hotel Fontana, Stresa. We arrived at the hotel at about 9.30 a.m. after a long flight from Melbourne, Australia. We thought we would leave our luggage at the hotel and return at a more reasonable hour... More

The hotel is authentic but for my opinion it is old. no TV in the room and the bath is VERY small with a strange step inside it. the breakfast and the owner were great! and the location is excellent. and regarding to the money... its not expensive but we paid less money in other locations for better hotels.

This is a FRIENDLY family-run hotel and we were treated like their own family, warm and inviting! Excellent value for the money with beautiful views of the lake and is on the main street. Just a short stroll along the lake front to the town, shops and restaurants. Many of the rooms have excellent views of the lake along with... More

Great location and value for money. Rooms are basic, but clean. Free wifi in rooms. Breakfast is great. This is a family owned hotel and they are so lovely, helpful and friendly. Short walk to ferries and mottarone cable car and 10 minute easy walk into town.

This Hotel is excellent value for money, it is on the main street about 10 minutes stroll along the lake front to the shops and eating places. Most rooms have excellent views of the lake. Also they have balconies where you can sit and have a drink and take in the views. As stated by others the walls are rather... More

The grounds of this hotel are large and peaceful. The owner was friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet was amazing, with the best apple strudel I have ever tasted. Our room was comfortable with an interesting mosaic on the wall.However, the bath was small, too small to be really useful.
