The apartment was equipped with everything we needed. Its about a 10 minute walk to town all downhill on the way there. Grocery stores within walking distance as well. The apartment had a great view and was quiet at night. My family really enjoyed Stresa.
The apartment is modern and very spacious with everything you need for a comfortable stay.. 2 large bathrooms with plenty of clean towels and very comfortable beds.The large terrace is amazing with dining set and comfy sofa.. the views are amazing over the lake. It’s an easy walk down to Stresa a bit of a climb back up but we managed it each day and good to burn off the calories. Easy check in with Guiliano who is on hand for any queries.. we really enjoyed our stay at the apartment and would definitely recommend
Excellent property in a small complex of apartments with a wonderful view over Lake Maggiore. Property manager couldn't have been more helpful or welcoming!
5-10 minute walk down into the town. The walk back up was good for working off the inevitable ice cream!

Incredible view of Lago Maggiore
We were completely happy with the Fiorella apartment. It was clean, comfortable, quiet, and the view from the double doors in each room is beautiful. The owner is on site and was very helpful and friendly. Fiorella is a two-room apartment; one room has a king bed and the second room has a very cool, pull-down Murphy bed that was just as comfy as the bed in the bedroom. The interior design is very minimalist, which creates the perfect setting for the outstanding views of the lake.
The apartment was well renovated and has a magnificent view of the lake and on the 3 islands. Wonderful. Walking distance to Stresa Centre via a private / public walking paths. Even for electric vehicles an ideal location: 2kW charger at the location and in 500m distance an Enel x-way 50KW DC charger.
Giuliano is very kind and supportive. A perfect spot for a stay in Stresa.
Very comfortable apartment with view on lake, well located to visit the main attractions on the lake Maggiore. Large balcony and parking lot/garage are a plus. Giuliano was a great and very committed host. Suggestions of improvement for the apartment: hooks in hall and in bathrooms, toilet roll holder and more storage space in the bathrooms. The only negative point is the fact that we paid €2116,53 vs €1533,1 mentioned on our checkout invoice. Nearly one third difference - for commission by Abritel seems to us very exaggerated as the real estate agent did not do anything for us. Not sure we will book holidays stay via Abritel in the future because of that.
Diese Ferienwohnung wird den hohen Erwartungen, die aufgrund der Beschreibung geweckt wurden, völlig gerecht. Die Aussicht auf die Bucht von Stresa, die Altstadt und die ständig an- und ablegenden Linienschiffe ist unschlagbar, die Betten bequem, die Bäder ein Traum, die Küche funktionell und – bis auf einen Backofen – mit allem was man so braucht ausgestattet und der Essplatz großzügig mit viel Platz für bis zu 6 Personen. Alles ist sauber und in sehr gutem Zustand. Die Möblierung ist durchgängig sehr hochwertig, mit Einschränkungen bei dem für eine längere Nutzung doch eher weniger geeignetem Sofabett und einem wenig bequemen Sofa im Wohnzimmer. Dafür war es aber eine Freude, auf der der großzügigen, teilüberdachten Terrasse Platz zu nehmen, die angesichts ihrer Orientierung nach Norden immer angenehmen Schatten bot, am späten Nachmittag war sie dann auch teilweise besonnt. Das WLAN arbeitete überall zuverlässig und schnell und der sehr große Smart-Fernseher mit bestem Satelliten-Empfang aller deutschsprachigen, gebührenfreien Sender ließ keine Wünsche offen, außer vielleicht dem nach einer zusätzlichen Soundbar für einen besseren Klang. Die Betreuung vor Ort durch Giuliano war äußerst aufmerksam und freundlich, einfach perfekt! Leider war die Lage der Wohnung nicht ganz so ruhig wie erwartet, denn auf der bergaufführenden Straße unten vor der Terrasse herrschte zuweilen lebhafter Verkehr, aber Stresa ist nun einmal ein lebhafter, italienischer Urlaubsort.

Vielen Dank fur die sehr schöne und informative Bewertung! Wir sind froh dass die "Rosmina" Wohnung Ihnen so gut gefallen hat. Chantal Rowley (Agentin)
Appartement agréable, belle vue. Demander 10 euros par jour pour l’hébergement d’une personne supplémentaire est mesquin. Par aileurs, l’équipement en vaisselle est un peu insuffisant.
Superbe appartement avec vue à 180° sur le lac majeur.
Logement spacieux, bien équipé.
Situé au calme à quelques minutes à pied du centre de Stresa très animé.
tout est parfait !
l'appartement est magnifique, extrêmement propre, avec une literie exceptionnelle.
la vue est juste sublime, grande terrasse où l'on peut prendre les repas
A refaire sans hésiter !
Wir hatten einen wundervollen Aufenthalt. Sowohl die Sauberkeit als auch die Betreuung vor Ort sind sehr hervorzuheben. Die Aussicht von unserer Terrasse war traumhaft. Vielen Dank für die schöne Tage, die wir in diesem Objekt verweilen konnten.
Das Objekt hat eine tolle Lage und man ist in ca. 10 min im Zentrum von Stresa. Das Appartment war sehr sauber und auch der Check-In war problemlos.
Jederzeit wieder!
Schönes ruhiges Appartement gut für einen erholsamen Urlaub

Superbe.
Nous sommes restés une semaine dans ce superbe appartement au calme.
Il est décoré dans un style contemporain mais avec gout et simplicité.
Il est particulièrement confortable, les literies sont fermes et d’excellente qualité. Les chambres, les salles de bains et la salle à manger/séjour sont spacieuses et agréables. La propreté est irréprochable.
Mais le plus impressionnant demeure la vue exceptionnelle et à 180° sur le magnifique lac Majeur en face des non moins superbes iles Borromées, quel bonheur ! Sans doute l’un des plus beaux appartements que j’ai loué.
La situation est idéale, à moins de 10 mm à pied de la charmante petite ville de Stresa ou l’on trouve tout. La voiture est quasiment superflue dans cette région superbe ou l’on peut découvrir de nombreuses belles choses à pied, en bateau voire en téléphérique (pour le point culminant de la région où vous avez une vue à couper le souffle).
A recommander sans hésitation, M. Giordani étant particulièrement attentif au bien être des ses hôtes, un grand bravo et surtout merci à lui pour tout.

Über den Dächern von Stresa
Gisela und Wilfried aus Deutschland:
Die Wohnung ist fantastisch! Über den Dächern von Stresa, ein herrlicher Blick auf die Inseln und dann die Wohnung! Toll renoviert, alles hell, sehr modern und großzügig. Wir waren zu zweit und haben das genossen. Der Weg zu Stadt ist wegen der italienischen Autofahrer etwas risikobehaftet, aber in 5 Minuten ist man im Zentrum. Das ist ein Feriendomizil, in dem man gerne nochmal Urlaub macht!

Stresa Superb
Lake Maggiore is an absolutely beautiful place to visit. Our stay there was made even more special by staying in this newly remodeled and very comfortable apartment. Situated on a hill right on the outskirts of town, the quiet and convenience of being away from the crowds yet able to walk into town in just a few minutes gives it a perfect location. The views over the town and mountain surrounded lake from the apartment's patio are breathtaking! Anything we needed was provided to us promptly by the owner, Giuliano, who spoke perfect English and was very helpful in giving us information on restaurants and places of interest in the area. The apartment is honestly presented on the website. There were no "surprises" just pure relaxation and enjoyment. My wife and I are seasoned travelers and have been staying in apartments and homes internationally for over 10 years and highly recommend this apartment who want to enhance their experience when visiting the area.
