Massimo, wecomes you into his home as guest, and you feel welcome from the start. What a charming place, with wonderful views and a homely atmosphere. Breakfast is served with a smile and your room is cleaned when you arrive back after a day out. Convenient for the town, restuarants and station. Definately a place to come home to after enjoying the delights of Lake Maggiore. Best nights sleep I have had in a long while, and to wake up to the terrace in the morning and the views of the mountains was delightful. Thank you Massimo for a truely wonderful time - We will definately return.

Although it is 3Km from Stresa centre this place is in a lovely position with ample parking.
There is a self contained appartment, 2 rooms that have a separate shared bathroom and a roof level room with its own bathroom and terrace. We stayed in the laer and it was great.
The owner, Massimo is extremely friendly and helpful. He can advise on where to eat & visit, he has tickets for the ferries on the lake e etc. You have the run of the place and it is very homely.
Would love to visit again

You know how you search for hours for somewhere nice to stay and are then feel conned when you arrive? Well not here........ the house ( recently done up and refurbished by Massimo) is absolutely gorgeous, so much space and so welcoming. There are three guest rooms, two on the ground floor and one up on the next level in the eaves. We had the one upstairs and it was lovely, up and down on different levels, and complete with a very comfy bed, large bathroom, huge terrace with view of the lake, and interesting quirky decor. I would say that perhaps elderly or infirm people would be better off in one of the downstairs rooms, as would tall people, the beams were rather low in places upstairs! Guests have the use of the open plan sitting room, terrace, dining area ,with books,games and interesting, stylish and( sorry to use the word again) quirky decor and things to look at, as well as info on the local area. You can also use the fully equipped kitchen, and its from here that Max prepares and serves the lovely breakfast, fruit juice, cereals, croissants and other typical Italian breads and cakes, and wonderful fresh coffee or different teas or hot chocolate if you prefer. Max is a great host and is full of useful information which he obviously loves to share with everyone. The house is about 3 km from the lakeside, up the steep hill, and although we enjoyed the exercise especially after having dinner in the town at night, it is not an easy stroll back! However, Max will show you on the map where the free carparks in the town are, and we had no difficulty finding a space for all day, ( probably more difficult in high season) At the house itself there is lots of secure parking.
I am sure we will go back!

We just spent a week at Massimo's B&B and we really enjoyed it. The place is beautiful and very quiet. You have a beautiful view on the Lake Maggiore, the house and rooms are nicely decorated with an attention to every detail. Massimo is extremely kind and will give you excellent advise on what to visit in the region and how to get there. Try his Cioccolato, it's delicious!
