Stayed at the Della Torre for a 3 night stay in September as a group of 5, I personally had a single room. The hotel was an ideal base for us to explore the resort of Stresa, it was a walk into the resort, but we chatted and enjoyed the lake views and took our time. The staff in the bar, dining room and reception were very friendly and helpful. We had dinner in the hotel on the first night after a long first day travelling. Dinner was really enjoyable, and we all enjoyed the breakfasts each morning. My room was a little dated but very clean, and the bed comfortable for me. It did overlook the road, (but I live in East London, am immune to traffic noise) but the doors onto the balcony were good soundproofing. All in all I thought the hotel was a solid 3 stars, a lovely traditional style Italian accommodation, I'd be more than happy to return.

The staff at this hotel were very welcoming and extremely helpful with advice. The breakfast was good, bacon underdone for us but plenty of other choices available. Location is pretty good, a couple of restaurants close by and about 1 klm walk to the centre of everything. Our only negative was that the room is very “tight” and a bit tired. The bedhead had tears in the fabric. No tea & coffee making facilities either and we do like our morning cuppa. There was a small balcony overlooking a rooftop and a road but as we had a fair amount of rain we didn’t get to use it anyway.

The hotel was very clean and the staff very friendly and approachable. The food was good with a menu of a large buffet salad starter, two courses then varied buffet dessert. The pool is not enormous but a reasonable size with the usual seating, chairs beds etc. It was never crowded when we were there. Although there were roads nearby it was never intrusive.

Last minute booking as all flights were cancelled out of Italy / found this hotel for the 5 days extra holiday. This made the already perfect holiday in Milan and Lake Garda - even better. We would recommend this hotel to anyone - staff food amenities faultless,

A lovely family hotel. Our room overlooked the lake. Dinner was excellent value for money as was breakfast on the half board deal. Pool was lovely. The room was comfortable and clean. Bathroom was fine. Location was fine for us. 25 minute walk from centre but bar by the lake was excellent. Road did not keep us a wake but it was not that quiet: The view though was breathtaking. Excellent value for money.
