What a lovely property. Really helpful owners who live next door. A bit of a walk to the train station and the main part of Stresa but beautiful to sit out on the balcony in the evening looking at the garden.
The property is very nice with a very large living room and a very large bedroom. The bathroom is renovated and modern. The kitchen is too small and there are not enough counter spaces to work on if you wanted to cook which we did. It really needs an update. The other drawback was it's location in that it wasn't in the centre of town. It wasn't too bad but it's quite a climb to get there from town. The car parking was okay but on a steep hill also, The balcony is small as well, so you couldn't really sit out.
This is a large and very well equipped apartment within easy walking distance of the centre of Stresa. Owners Giuseppe and his daughter Enrica were the perfect hosts - friendly, generous and obviously very keen to ensure guests enjoyed their stay. There was a beautiful garden which guests were welcome to use and which provided both sun and shade. Giuseppe kindly collected us from the Alibus stop and took us back at the end of the stay which was a great help. Gloria’s supermarket nearby was small but had an excellent selection and the young ladies who run it were very pleasant and helpful. We would definitely return to stay at Casa Belvedere should we return to Stresa in the future - thank you Giuseppe and Enrica
The apartment was bigger than we expected from the internet pictures and a great place. Although it is a little steep from the lake it isn't that far. Great location especially for train and boat trips and then lovely lakeside walk to the town centre with good number of shops and eating places. Great bread shop too, by the piazza. Guisseppe and his daughter are very obliging and eager to give lifts. Wonderful holiday
Apartment was spacious with renovated bathroom. Nice balcony for two to sit outside and morning sun came in to both living room and bedroom. Good location for activities around the area.
Guiseppe & his daughter were very welcoming and the apartment was well equipped. It was well located for the Lido ferries & the cable car. The walk up to the apartment could be quite challenging for anyone with a low level of fitness. It is quite steep in places. we had a lovely stay.
Good contact with landloard in the beginning (in fact you chat with his grand daughter). Reliable key handover. Apartment spacious, but rather old-fashioned. Towels available and clean, same for bed sheets. I would expect cleaner floors (don't look below furniture...) and to not have to clean dishes etc myself because of their condition... Road in front of the house is small but noisy, so we kept windows closed on daytime, only opened at night to get fresh air inside. Up till her we rated 3-4 stars... But then I received incredible rating by landloard, mainly claiming that they did no see us open the windows (well, with small child we get up early and do it then, to rather get cool air inside - ifyou don't get up the same time, how can you judge?). Second claim was that we did not clean the floors when we left. Seriously, I pay a cleaning fee. Why should I do the cleaning then myself? What disappointed me the most was that this poor rating came unexpected, no asking for reasons of our alleged behavior. Well, so I need to go to the friendly overall rating of 3 stars.
The apartment is neat, clean and very well stocked. Location is quiet and tucked away in a nice neighborhood about a lovely ten-minute walk away Stresa. An excellent little grocery is a block away and there's a wonderful restaurant right down the street. All in all a very good experience. Giuseppe and his daughter were helpful and attentive. We were picked up at the train station and taken to the apartment.
We received a warm welcome with Giuseppe meeting us at the station and driving us on a tour of Stresa. At the end of our stay he also kindly drove us down to the bus stop for the Alibus to Malpensa airport. So we had no need to carry our luggage and we did not hire a car, though, if we had, parking was free nearby. There was an excellent shop 3 minutes' walk away, open every day, serving bread, charcuterie and cheeses, as well as other basic groceries. Five minutes away there was also a friendly restaurant and bar at the Centro Sportivo, La Cascina, where we ate very well. To reach the Lido with access to the boats took us 20 minutes walking( downhill ), whilst a useful bus stop for other lakeside towns, and for Lake Orta was about 15 minutes. So we had easy access to transport and amenities whilst being away from the bustle of Stresa. The entrance hall to the building is elegant, large and secure. The apartment was very spacious, clean and beautifully furnished with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. We used the balcony off the kitchen for our breakfasts and many evening meals. It had a very pleasant outlook over the garden, which was also available to us.. Fiamma joined her father to show us all the tourist information provided and offer advice. Our delightful hosts were available throughout the holiday should we need anything.
Fantastic hosts.... would definately come again. Aparment had everything you needed spacious and comfortable.
