Fantastic family hotel!

Really lovely family hotel set just back from the main promenade in Stresa. Beautiful gardens and a really well kept and well run hotel. The staff were all welcoming and friendly. The pool area is secluded and very well managed. Our room was perfect, with a large terrace that had views of the lake and was bathed in sunshine for most of the day. Perfect!

Lovely 4 day break

Lovely 4 day stay. We stayed in a lake view dual aspect room that was recently decorated and had an extremely comfortable, large bed. Great shower in a newly refurbished bathroom. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was efficient. Good choice of fresh food at breakfast. Approximately a 15 minute walk to the main part of Stresa where the ferry port is situated. The view from our room was beautiful and we would stay again.

Impeccable CleanlinessThe standard of hygiene at this hotel is exceptional. Every area of the property is kept spotlessly clean, which made for a very comfortable and reassuring stay.Wonderful Staff and ServiceThe team here truly stands out. Every staff member we encountered was polite, welcoming, and genuinely helpful. Their attentive service added a personal touch to our trip.Fabulous Amenities and PoolsideThe amenities are top-notch. The poolside area is extremely clean and serves as the perfect spot to relax. We highly recommend the poolside bar, which offers very good value on both delicious drinks and snacks.Fantastic Continental BreakfastThe breakfast here is absolutely fabulous. Everything is incredibly fresh, including a wonderful selection of breads, cakes, fruits, cereals, and yoghurt. The teas and coffees are also excellent, making it the perfect start to the day.Convenient LocationThe location is ideal for exploring the area. It is within easy walking distance to the centre of Stresa, taking just a 20-minute leisurely stroll along a pleasant route.We would highly recommend Hotel La Fontana to anyone visiting Stresa and look forward to returning.

A lovely family run hotel in a good location

This was a lovely hotel in a good, quiet location, just five minutes walk from the centre of Stresa. Great service, a spacious room with a balcony with a lovely, albeit restricted view of the lake. The owner was incredibly grateful for me choosing his hotel which was really nice - it's not often you get thanked sincerely multiple times for choosing to stay at a hotel! The continental breakfast was great and had lots to choose from. The hotel had wifi although it wasn't very fast it was good enough for checking emails etc. would happily recommend and stay here again.
