Boutique Hotel Stresa

I had been planning to write a glowing review for this hotel even before leaving. My wife and I have had the privilege of traveling around Europe and staying at 5 star hotels throughout. None have compared to BHS. It seems as though Joe H. In his August 2025 review took the words right out of my mouth. Our experience was identical. There was a genuine feeling of warmth and caring from every staff member no matter their role . The hotel is beautiful and was as Joe failed to mention also, extremely well situated just minutes walk from town and nice restaurants, shops etc. We stayed 5 nights and felt badly leaving, especially the staff we got to know during our stay. If you plan to visit Stresa, it is an experience that should not be missed.

The hotel, its staff, the level of service and its location make this Hotel a must for anyone visiting Stresa. Firstly the Hotel itself, recently opened, is a perfect example of Architectural and design excellence, quality of the materials used and incredible attention to detail with outstanding consistency through out (yes i am a construction professional within the fit out industry so i have a good eye for this!) The facilities are superb and every member of staff is extremely attentive to your needs, This hotel just feels like it has everything to make any length of stay truly memorable.

This hotel is perfect. It is chic, modern with helpful attentive staff who create a wonderful atmosphere from the second you arrive to the moment you leave. Its location is brilliant, right by the lake and a very short stroll to the town centre. The breakfast was lovely and the roof top bar sensational. An incredible oasis to relax and enjoy innovative cocktails and classic drinks. I already want to go back.

I have read some fairly glowing reviews about Boutique Hotel Stresa, but I was not at all prepared for what I would experience here. From the moment I arrived, the staff not only made me feel welcomed and appreciated, but they made me feel like I belonged there. From a room upgrade to assistance with anything I may have needed and wanted, the hotel took care of everything. Dinner reservations? Done. Recommendations of things to do in Stresa? Check. Reserving a private boat to tour the Borromean Islands, with an experienced captain? No problem. The rooftop view is truly jaw-dropping. If you're there on a Sunday, go to the brunch, which is exceptional. The spa was excellent, and best of all is Le Bolle, the hotel restaurant. The chef is from Puglia, and during one of the tasting menus I tried, I was served no less than four plates that were outright Michelin-star worthy. They were that flawless, and I've eaten at restaurants with 3 stars that I didn't enjoy as much as Le Bolle. The value of the food and experience, as well as the exceptional service, made this dinner one of the best values you'll probably experience in Italy. The creativity and care put into each dish made the dinners at Le Bolle superlative. The room was extremely comfortable, tasteful, and had a simple elegance. If you want to find things to do, there is plenty to see in Stresa and on Lake Maggiore, but if you want a tranquil and peaceful surrounding at one of the great luxury hotels of Europe, you will not be disappointed. Boutique Hotel Stresa made my vacation one of the very best I've ever had. A huge thank you to the entire staff...every single person made my visit one of the very best I've ever experienced anywhere. I cannot begin to express my appreciation for their warmth, their service, and for making it seem as though I'd found a place where everyone seemed genuinely joyful to be there to make my stay a perfect one. They succeeded on every level.
