We stayed in Apt. 2B for a week, 27 Sept.-4 Oct., 2014. We were very pleased with the modern, very clean interior of the flat, set within an historic building in the old centre of the town. The location could not have been better for local atmosphere, with restaurants, shops and the lakefront within easy walking distance. Also reasonably close to the railway station, if you are interested in the train-boat excursion to Locarno, Switzerland. There was a huge amount of storage available in the flat, which was most welcome. It is 2 floors up from the street, but they are good steps and we (senior citizens) did not find it onerous.
We can't say enough about how helpful our hosts, Giuseppe & Dana, were. They helped us with our luggage when we arrived, and they were quite thorough in giving us all the necessary information. We did have a car to park, which was possible for free in adjacent Piazza Capucci. On the one night we couldn't park there (because of the weekly market), Giuseppe graciously arranged for us to use their private parking, just a 5 minute walk away.
Stresa is a great base for exploring the many sites around Lago Maggiore and the neighbouring small lakes. The Locarno excursion is excellent, as is the cable car ride (if you get a clear day). We heartily recommend La Lombarda as your place to stay in Stresa.

Newly renovated apartment in an excellent location in the centre of Stresa. A short stroll to town centre, restaurants, shops and ferry terminal. Dana and Guiseppe were close at hand and went the extra mile to ensure we had everything we needed for a first rate stay. I would not hesitate to rent the apartment again.

This was a very well appointed modern apartment and one of the best self catering we have ever rented. It is well equipped, minimal IKEA style, uncluttered and spacious. Importantly the bed is very comfortable.
It is located in the very attractive old heart of Stresa within easy walking distance of eveything including the ferry and a great range of restaurants, bars and cafes. Stresa is very well placed for exploring Lake Maggiore by road or ferry.
Giuseppe and Dana were very friendly, welcoming and helpful. It was particuarly useful that they were able to provide secure parking for our car and bikes.

A new set of apartments near the La Lombardia restaurant in the centre of Stresa. We stayed in 2 b.
Minimalist Ikea styling, with nice living, dining, kitchen area then a few steps up to a well equipped bathroom and bedroom. Good aircon throughout the property.
Cutlery and crockery brand new. The cooker is a small modern 2 ring unit, with separate microwave. No dishwasher.
Bed on the firm side, but again brand new with clean, fresh bedding.
Wifi was just about ok, but couldn't really cope with Skype video.
The owner Giuseppe was very helpful and friendly, particularly with parking.
We should add that Stresa is a beautiful and nice place to spend a few days, but can get overrun with tourists, so if you are eating out per-book or go early!

This is an exceptional apartment, spacious and stylishly comfortable in the heart of Stresa. The local supermarket, bakeries, restaurants and gelaterias are just a few minutes walk away. The beautiful lake front and boat station is less that 5 minutes walk. It is in an ideal location, close to everything yet quiet and cosy, a real home from home. Brand new, chic, very clean, and with a really comfortable bed and a powerful shower, the apartment is exactly as the photographs on the website suggest. The layout is expertly planned with plenty of storage space and it is extremely well equipped. It includes thoughtful extras like the power adaptor and a kettle for making tea in the morning. The Wi-Fi was super fast and the air-conditioning was appreciated on hot days in July. We loved the balcony off the bedroom and the sunny terrace off the dining area.
Giuseppe and Dana are so friendly and were very kind providing transfers to and from the local train station. They have all the local knowledge to make a holiday in Stresa perfect. After many visits to Stresa this is the most convenient apartment we have ever stayed in!
