    Honestly, there is nothing about this accommodation I did not like. Everything was 100%

    Everything! Owner was extremely polite. My partner and I felt very welcome! Nothing went wrong whatsoever! 1 minute walk from Friday Market. Fresh food smells in the morning from the local shops. Bloody beautiful! I will 1000000% be returning! By far, the most beautiful place!! 100% like the photos! Thankyou so much for the stay!

    The Garden Lodge was absolutely charming. Looked brand new, spotless and quiet. Well equipped to make breakfast at home. Two balconies over looking a beautiful garden. Host helpful and available but not hovering! We had such a lovely visit in Stresa, really hated to leave!

    The property consists of 4 rental apartments and is very well located in the heart of Stresa. Around are plenty of bars, cafes and restaurant as well as small shops or supermarkets. So everything can easily discovered and reached by feet. We stayed in the apartment on the top floor for 3 nights. The apartment was very clean and everything looked freshly renovated. The apartment has everything that is needed, including a small kitchen and a capsule coffee machine. What is very comfortable is that you can enter the property and the apartment via PIN code, so you don’t need to carry keys / cards with you, that could get lost. Last but not least, it is a family runned business. Giorgio and his family were so kind and friendly! This would have deserved an extra point in the rating.

    Quiet Oasis in the old town of Stresa

    No parking close to the villa. Giorgio recommended two public parking lots to us 5 minutes away, No bigger problem, had to carry our luggage. Anyway you can`t have it all, staying in the pedestrian zone of the old town and to get rid of the car.

    The location was great in the backyard of the main building. Very quiet and new Appartement. Communication was easy in advance for checkin. The owner of Garden Lodge, Giorgio, recommended restaurants in between walking distance, which we liked very much, especially Trattoria Due Piccioni. Best croissants and sweets ever at pasticceria Marcolini, which we could enjoy at the balcony. Ferry harbour to the Borromeen Islands 5 minutes walk only. Thank you Giorgio and family, definitely will stay again.

    There is nothing I would change or add. I was wondering exactly how the parking would work, but we easily found free parking one block away and rolled our bags to the apartment. We didn’t use the car for the duration of our stay.

    This lovely apartment is just perfect. It is new, clean, stylish, awesome location the central old section of Stresa and yet quiet and private. It really is ideal! Giorgio, the gist is the kindest person and extremely attentive and very personable. There is not one thing I would change about the property or our 3 day experience! My husband and I will be back as it was really well suited for 2 people.

    Absolutely nothing.

    The location was exceptional, inside and out. Nothing but superlatives. And Giorgio was wonderful from the first to the last, giving great advice on things to see and do, and an overwhelming felling of being welcome. Indeed, the whole family, whom we met in their store, were kind and pleasant to meet and talk to.

    Garden Lodge is located in the heart of Stresa.10 mins away fro the train station if you walk. 2 mins to walk to the boat dock where you could cruise around the beautiful lake. The owner Roger is super friendly. The room is clean and comfortable. Shops and restaurants are mins away. Highly recommended.

This place is very clean with plenty of space for two people, nice balcony, wonderful hosts (thank you Georgio and family) and most importantly it is great value compared to staying in a hotel.
