It’s the best location if you are visiting Stresa for the first time. The ferry can take you anywhere and just across the street. Can board the airport bus right outside the hotel. Great restaurant on site. Excellent service and great breakfast. We went to the pool one time and is very relaxing.

This is a fantastic place to stay on Lago Maggiore. Right in the heart of town. AND you get access to parking and the pool at the Regina Palace. A big bonus. I definitely would return!

We had a lovely stay; wound up extending an extra night.Our triple room was on the small side for the 2 of us, as we had anticipated from the photos. That was compensated by the many positives: Excellent service from the staff. Spectacular view from our room, appreciated the blackout shades. Superb friendly attentive service during the extensive breakfast buffet - delicious breads, pastries, healthy cereals and yogurt, enjoyed having cappuccinos every day. Very convenient location to promenade walk, the ferry, charming town centre and restaurants. We did not mind the short walk to where our car was parked; and appreciated that the parking was included.

O hotel é muito bem localizado, escolhi o quarto com vista para o lago e a experiência foi fantástica, destaque para o excelente atendimento no café da manhã, houve um problema com o aquecimento central que foi resolvido em algumas horas, sentimos falta de taças para que pudéssemos aproveitar a vista na sacada tomando uma taça de vinho entre outros detalhes para que a experiência fosse completa.

Schönes Hotel direkt am Lago Maggiore. Beim Einchecken wurde uns direkt von einem Mitarbeiter mit dem Koffer geholfen (da das Hotel in zwei Teile geteilt ist und wir auf der anderen Seite einchecken wollten.) Mitarbeiter sind alle sehr höflich und sprechen Italienisch/Englisch. Die Einrichtung ist ein bisschen in die Jahre gekommen und das Frühstück ist okay. Hat aber einen Blick auf den See! Wenn man Ausflüge auf die Inseln machen möchte, befindet sich die Anlagestelle der Boote direkt gegenüber.

A good choice

The Hotel Milan Speranza Au Lac is a 4 star hotel located by the lake boulevard. The hotel is a reliable choice in the slightly lower end of 4 star hotels. We had a nice two night stay at the hotel. The room and the bathroom were as expected but we were slightly disappointed as there was no balcony and the view was to the building on the opposite side of the street. The breakfast was of good standard and contained everything you can expect. Also the service at breakfast was of unusually high standard. We also had one dinner at the hotel and were pleased with both the food and especially the service, which was excellent. We would happily stay there again.
