Fabulous Apartment In A Stunning Villa
In a word - faultless. Communication from the owner was excellent. The apartment was exactly as described, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The electric gates and sweeping driveway up to the villa certainly added to the 'wow' factor. Villa Dora is divided into several apartments, and during our visit all the others were empty, which added to the feeling we were somewhere very special. A 5 minute walk takes you to the ferry terminal so exploring Lake Maggiore without the car is easy. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property and can't wait to stay there again.

Beautiful 2 bedroom apartment with stunning 5* view of the lake from your own private terrace, perfect if you want your own space. About 25 min walk into the centre of town, but cable car and ferry stop only 10 min away. First 7 min along quiet main road, safe in single file, then it's lakefront path all the way. Washing machine very handy, locked outer gates, great shower, comfy beds. Owner Laura was extremely helpful and lovely. Loads to do, Tomassucci Travel trips very good. Taxi to airport 100euro, Alibus cheaper option. Highly recommend!

Toller Aufenthalt
Wir waren 5 Tage Ende September 4 Erwachsene und ein Hund. Die Lage, die Aussicht und der Garten sind schon absolut einzigartig. Laura die Vermieterin echt sehr nett und super zuvorkommend. Nähe zu Stresa Zentrum ca. 20 min zu Fuß - allerdings die letzten die erstem 300 Meter an der Straße entlang doch sehr gefährlich vor allem im dunkeln. Die Unterkunft ist OK etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber für ein paar Tage ausreichend. Wir hatten Glück mit nur gutem Wetter und somit eh fast nur auf der tollen Terrasse. Leider steht in der Anzeige nicht das dies 6 Appartments sind - die meisten wohl Eigentümer die nicht da waren. So hatten wir es für uns alleine. lso wir würden wieder gehen,

Bella Dora
We’ve had very relaxing stay at the Villa Dora in Stresa. Laura, the owner was very friendly and helpful in getting further information. The Villa is directly placed at the main sea road towards Stresa, which might become at little bit noisy during the weekend. But the view and the location is able to compensate. We would come again.

Hat den Erwartungen leider nicht entsprochen
Das Haus von aussen, die Lage und Gastgeberin Laura waren nahezu perfekt. Betrat man aber die Ferienwohnung im Haus kam Enttäuschung auf. Die Ausstattung der Wohnung war bunt zusammengewürfelt. Die Möbel waren alt und abgenutzt und entsprachen überhaupt nicht dem äußeren Flair des Hauses. Alle Möbelstücke hatten wohl schon einige Leben hinter sich. Einzig schöne Teil ware ein Kacheloffen, der als Dekoration diente. Mülleimer standen herum und die Küchenzeile lud auch nicht zum kochen ein. Der Fernseher (er wurde von der Gastgeberin während unseren Aufenthalts ausgetauscht) war kaum größer als ein PC Bildschirm und deutsche Programme waren nicht verfügbar. Wir haben uns leider nicht sehr wohl gefühlt.

Calme et sérénité dans cette maison enchanteresse
Très belle semaine d'avril que nous avons passé dans cette si belle maison idéalement placée face à Isola Bella. Le grand jardin nous était dévoué en l'absence de résidents dans les autres apoartements. Ce lieu est une base parfaite pour visiter Stresa et ses environs. Merci Laura et Gabriella!
