Hotel La Fontana  

A short stroll from Stresa’s lakeside, Hotel La Fontana sits about 50 m from the water and roughly 300 m from the town center. Minutes from the Borromean Islands, Isola Bella and Villa Ducale, it’s a family-friendly, pet-friendly base for exploring Lake Maggiore.

This Art Deco hideaway fronts a quiet park and garden, perfect for sunset aperitivi with a lake breeze. There are just 18 air-conditioned rooms—think memory-foam beds with down comforters, minibars, flat-screen TVs and private bathrooms with rainfall showerheads. Complimentary Wi‑Fi, onsite parking and elevator access keep things simple. Note: the property closes seasonally (winter months).

Soak in the seasonal outdoor pool and sip at the poolside bar. Rent a bike to cruise the lakeside promenade. Concierge services, babysitting (surcharge), and theme-park and airport/train shuttles (surcharges) make planning easy. Free private parking and a small garden complete the relaxed vibe.

A 24-hour business center supports meetings and last-minute work. Express check-in/out, limo/town-car service and train-station pick-up are available. Complimentary wireless internet and multilingual staff keep business travel smooth.

Grab a coffee and pastry at the onsite café or hit the snack bar/deli for something quick. Unwind with a drink at the bar/lounge or the poolside bar. A complimentary buffet breakfast is served daily from 7:30 AM to start your day on the lake.
