We were recommended the town of Stresa, and the La Lombarda Stresa apartments by a friend, and we are so glad we were able to book the apartment.
The booking process was very easy and informative (we booked direct to avoid TA fees, easy to google and find). We wanted a direct taxi transfer from the airport and they arranged for this for us and kept in contact as the holiday approached. We felt very confident in our booking and choice of accommodation.
The apartments was in a lovely block, in a great location (central but still quiet), and was just as per the pictures.
Everything was clean and comfortable, with great air-con and shower, and a lovely outside seating area. Just everything you need for a great stay.
The hosts were very helpful throughout with some of our questions, and kindly dropped us back to the train station on our last day.
Would definitely return and recommend to others.
Giuseppe and Dana are very gracious and helpful hosts. From the very beginning of the process booking their apartment until leaving their apartment, they make sure we have all the information and support we need. They really made our stay in their apartment as comfortable and easy as much as possible.
Apart from their great hospitality, the apartment itself is what you expect in the photos and advertisement. No hidden expectations ;-) What you see is what you get. Very centrally located in Stresa and the apartment have all the amenities you need to make your vacation as relaxing as possible. Thank you Giuseppe and Dana for being such a gracious host.
Hard to imagine better holiday apartments In Stresa. They (due to other bookings we stayed in 2 of the 4 apartments) are modern, spacious, very well equipped and only metres from all the tourist attractions and the facilities of old Stresa. On booking we were concerned about this proximity and the location on a car park - it was never a problem and we found the apartments to be extremely quiet. Guiseppe and Dana were also wonderful and extremely helpful hosts.
Cannot recommend them highly enough

Spacious well equipped apartment. Nice terrace area. Located 3 minutes from the main piazza and 5 minutes to the waterfront. Making it both quiet and still convenient. Dana and Giuseppe were extremely attententive. Would return and recommend this apartment in this lovely vacation area!
Fantastic location just a minutes walk from the centre and yet quiet at night. Lovely apartment newly refurbished, everything was very good quality. Dana and Giuseppe were incredibly helpful sharing lots of great local knowledge of things to do. They have done a great job with the apartments and we wish them well. I would not hesitate in recommending anyone stay in these apartments who are visiting Stresa.
The flat is new (ie. all brand new internals in an old masonry building - all feels brand new), with a large amount of space, great kitchen, lounge room etc and a sunny balcony area. All within 2 minutes walk of the central town square. We were looking for a view of the lake, but most of our time was spent walking around the area near the lake anyway - so not an issue as it turned out.
Stresa is a great town to relax in and enjoy the boat trips to the islands, palaces etc.
Dana and Guiseppe are both great hosts, speak fluent English and Italian (at least), sensible, chatty people and very reliable - magically appearing at just the right times to pick us up from the train station, drop us off, show us the ropes etc. - all as part of the service.
Rooms were quiet and comfortable, with air conditioning, heating etc. - not that we needed it in May.
Highly recommended - if we go to Stresa again, we will certainly try to book with Dana and Guiseppe.

We stayed for four nights and were totally satisfied with our choice of apartment. Giuseppe met us at the bus stop and showed us through the apartment - although we didn't need to contact him during our stay, we were very confident that he would have helped in any way. The apartment is everything that is advertised, and more: in a quiet part of town but very close to everything, including restaurants, wine shops and a great supermarket; fresh and clean; well appointed; and with double glazing.
