Apt nr centre of Stresa ,balcony, WiFi, air/con and wonderful view over the lake
Apartment "Fiorella" is located on the first hill above Stresa (about 250 m above sea level) and has panoramic views over Lake Maggiore. It is surrounded by a large garden and is only 1 km (10 minutes walk) from the bustling town centre of Stresa. It is 42 km from Milan-Malpensa airport. The location is very peaceful and quiet.
It is situated on the 2nd floor with a lift. The bright spacious living room (25m2) has been stylishly furnished and has a comfortable pull-down double bed (200 x 160 cm or 5'3" x 6'5"). This is a proper bed and not a sofa bed. There is also satellite television and a fully-equipped open-plan kitchen (dishwasher, combi-microwave oven, kettle, toaster, electric coffee-machine etc), as well as a dining area. The living room opens out onto a terrace (30m2) with table and chairs, sofa and 2 sunloungers where you can eat outside and enjoy the panoramic views over Lake Maggiore.
The double bedroom (or twin-bedded room) is of a good size and, like the living-room, it too opens out onto the terrace and has a lake view. Spacious bathroom with large shower and a bidet. There is a separate communal laundry room with washing-machine, tumble-dryer, iron etc.
Wi-Fi, air-conditioning and heating included in the price. Garage and parking (+ EV-charging point). On the terrace, you also have a power point to charge electric bikes.
Stresa makes a perfect base from which to explore the wonders of Lago Maggiore: hop on any ferry to discover the magic of the Borromeo Islands, the fascinating villas along the shore, the Piedmont towns of Arona and Intra and the picturesque town of Laveno nestled on the other side of the lake in Lombardy.
You can even take a full-day boat tour all the way up the lake to Switzerland (Ascona and Locarno). Stresa's railway station connects you easily with Milan, where you can shop, sightsee, or simply sip a coffee and watch the world go by in the famous Piazza del Duomo.
The price is based on 2 people; for any additional person, it is 25 Euros per night (+ VRBO commission). The apartment can sleep 4 people.
Please note there is the Holiday Tax (Tassa di Soggiorno) of 1 Euro per person per day, children under 6 excluded, to pay on arrival (in cash).
A dog is welcome (for a supplement).

We had a lovely stay in this beautiful apartment. The view is unmatched anywhere in Stresa! The location is unrivaled for walking into the heart of town, the lakefront & grocery store. Our host, Giuliano, was very accommodating & helpful. We will return & recommend to others.
A beautiful apartment with magnificent views over the lake. Everything spotlessly clean, plenty of towels. Location is quiet and a 10 minute (steep) walk into Stresa (15 minutes coming back uphill ). Guiliano is on hand to help if needed. Check in was easy with very quick communication with both Chantal and Guiliano. Good internet service via WIFI. Would highly recommend.
A clever architect came up with a great design for this apartment building where each unit has a private balcony due to use of angles. We were in Apartment #1 and spent most of our time on our balcony gazing at the incredible view of Lago Maggiore and its islands. The apartment was spotless and it was great to have parking. The shared laundry was an added bonus. The manager Giuliano was helpful. We were quite happy with our stay.
We really enjoyed our stay in apartment 6. The property manager was very helpful, helping me with a car problem on arrival, and he kindly upgraded us to an apartment with two bedrooms.Although the apartment was very clean, well presented, reasonably well equipped and comfortable, it was disappointing that, due to it being north facing, there was never any sun on the balcony, the view from which was fantastic. It also lacked basics I'd expect to find in a self-catering apartment such as foil and cling film. The laundry room was a great addition, with two washing machines, a tumble dryer, clothes airers, and an iron and ironing board.I feel that the charge for the dog was high, considering you wouldn't know he'd even been there and he makes no mess, unlike small children who are accepted for free.Being in a mid floor apartment meant noise from above was an issue, with scraping furniture and footsteps.If I returned, I'd ask for a top floor apartment to the south, where there's a possibility of seeing some sun.Free onsite parking is found in the garages below the properties.
Site, appartement impeccable, parking facile, accessible facilement pour personnes âgées, vue imprenable sur Stresa et le Lac Majeur. L’accueil et la gentillesse de Giuliano sont extraordinaires. Nous vous recommandons fortement cet appartement.

Merci pour votre belle appreciation. Nous sommes contents que vous avez passe un bel sejour. Chantal Rowley (agente)
C’est endroit est magnifique.
Vous disposez d’une grande terrasse, pouvez garer votre voiture en sécurité, situé à 10 minutes à pied du centre ville et surtout par temps caniculaire c’est climatisé.
Nous remercions chaleureusement Giuliano pour son accueil et son hospitalité.
Vous pouvez réserver les yeux fermés. On aimerait revenir et avons trouvé notre séjour trop court
Une vue magnifique sur le Lac et les îles Borromées !
Un appartement très agréable et très bien situé sur les hauteurs de Stresa, avec une vue magnifique du matin au soir sur le Lac et ses îles Borromées, à deux pas à pieds du centre du village et ses animations : vacances en famille réussies ! À recommander.
Alles bestens! Von der Parkgarage, über die Waschmaschine, bis zur Klimaanlage war alles vorhanden, einzig ein paar Müslischalen, Teelöffel und ein Mehrfachstecker in der Küche könnten ergänzt werden.
The view is just as good as the promise. This apartment, part of a complex on the hill above the centre of Stresa, is perfect for a couple. It’s a quick but steep walk into the town (less than 10 minutes down, more up). One supermarket is in the centre of the town, another is a similar distance away. The property manager, Giuliano, was outstandingly helpful in many ways. Highly recommended.

Your very positive review was much appreciated. Chantal Rowley (agent for "Fiorella" apartment in Stresa).
Wir haben den Aufenthalt in der qualitativ hochwertigen Ferienwohnung sehr genossen; die Aussicht, manchmal begleitet von Glockenspiel, war ein Traum, auch abends beim während unseres Aufenthalts häufigen Wetterleuchten. Sehr praktisch auch der kurze-aber steile! - Fußweg zum Zentrum.
Die Wohnung ist wunderschön , modern eingerichtet mit tollem Blick auf den See. War sehr sauber und bequem. Wir haben in Stresa 5 unvergessliche Tage verbracht. Immer wieder gerne. Also ich kann nur 5 Sterne geben. Danke für alles.

Vielen Dank für die sehr schöne Bewertung. Wir sind sehr froh, dass die Verbena Wohnung Ihnen so gut gefallen hat. Chantal Rowley (Agentin für Verbena Stresa)
Buchung und Check-in lief ebenso unkompliziert wie die Realisierung unseres kurzfristigen Verlängerungswunsches. Die fantastische Aussicht auf den See und die Boromäischen Inseln sowie die fussläufige Nähe zum Stadtzentrum von Stresa werden uns lange in guter Erinnerung bleiben.
Nous avons passé un très bon séjour, l’appartement est très propre et bien placé, la vue est superbe. Nous avons eu la chance d’avoir un appartement plus grand que prévu, nous avons beaucoup apprécié !
Wir haben 10 wunderschöne Tage in Stresa verbracht. Die Wohnung ist sehr geräumig und sauber, die Aussicht phänomenal. Einziger negativer Punkt ist, dass man die Mieter über uns sehr stark gehört hat. Ansonsten der perfekte Ort um dem stressigen Alltag zu entkommen.
Great and clean apartment near the center with a beautiful view.
