Hotel la Fontana

Stayed here 1w. Good location about 15mins gentle walk along the front into town. We had a great view of the lake. Good size rooms. Clean. Fridge and coffee making facilities. Nice breakfasts either in the dining area or on the terrace. Plenty of loungers by pool but not allowed to take your own water bottles-alcohol and soft drinks I can understand they want you to get at their pool bar but water?(although they were kind enough to give us a couple of bottles on our last afternoon whilst waiting to leave for airport). Friendly helpful staff and a parting gift of a bottle of fizz!

The hotel is very nice with a walking distance of about 10 minutes to the centre. The breakfast included e.g scrambled eggs, fresh fruit, bread and yogurt. The double room was beautiful with a large terrace with view of the lake Maggiore. The air conditioning was almost ok, with limited temperature. The pool area was quiet and still.

This hotel is conveniently located by the lake, between downtown core and Piazzale Lido, where you can take the boat rides to all the islands. There are two buildings, with a nice swimming pool between them and a large well-manicured garden in front. All rooms we stayed were very clean. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast has very good selection and is definitely one of the highlight for me . Overall our stay was a nice one and I would recommend it for sure.

Clean rooms Quiet rooms Gracious, kind, efficient, helpful staff Excellent value Tasty breakfast with healthy choices The location allowed us to walk to Centre while still providing free parking. Always someone available to help us in English

We had a very pleasant 3 day and night stay at this hotel. This hotel is going through a renovation so it will continue to evolve. In terms of the good points, the location is fantastic right on the Stresa promenade where you can easily take the ferry to the Borromean islands. Isola Bella is very close. There are so many lovely restaurants and cafes to chose from in Stresa, all walkable from this hotel. The room was large and clean but you could see signs of that renovation that is on going. The host and hostess are wonderful people. The breakfast was good. Not a lot of hot food but the cookies were delicious. There is ample parking in the hotel as well. All in all a good experience at a relatively inexpensive hotel that met out needs.

We had a very big room, which was confortable, but unfortunately not so quiet. The street in front of the hotel is very busy and if you dont sleep very deep, you hear the trafic until late into the night. Breakfast was very good ( almost as good as the one we had in a nearby 5 stars hotel), the swimming pool was large enough, but the music was awful and loud. For those who like to read or just rest in the sun, the swimming pool might be a problem.
