Central location near Lake Maggiore
We spent 10 nights in Stresa in Ambretta’s apartment in via Principe Tomaso. It was very well located in easy walking distance to popular piazzas and many restaurants and shops in central Stresa. The apartment is very bright on the first floor, adequately furnished and well appointed kitchen. It has a huge sunny tiled deck shared by only one other apartment. Free Car parking is available within a short walk. You don’t need a car to reach most of the local attractions, as they are well served by the flotilla of ferries which criss-cross the lake. Also, train services to Milan and Domodossola are nearby and frequent. Whilst the area is very touristy, it is also very relaxing, especially along the lakefront. The entire Lake Maggiore district is quite magnificent. Recommend a day trip to the Borromean Islands and a visit to Villa Taranto. The funicular no longer operates due to a tragic accident some years ago, despite it still being listed in many tourism brochures.
