Not really much in the immediate area and the drive into town is quite difficult for an American in Texas used to large roads. Sufficient kitchen amenities, but had to go into town to get more soap and toilet paper. Did I mention the view?"

"We stayed here for 5 nights for our honeymoon in August. We pre-booked the spa, a cooking class, wine tasting and a cocktail masterclass. Everything exceeded our expectations. The staff were great, all very friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. They really went out of their way to make sure we had a great time. The breakfast buffet was very well stocked with delicious fruits, cheeses, meat and pastries. The views of the lake from the top floor restaurant are stunning. We ate at LeBolle twice and the food and service are both of the highest standard. We had a lovely experience at this hotel and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting Stresa and Lake Maggiore."
