"A nice location of the hotel by the lake. We only booked 2 hrs before arrival (3 people) and got a big room with a view to the lake. The breakfast was nice, the staff were friendly. Close to attractions and bars/restaurants. Parking just across the road from the hotel."

"Traveled through multiple cities while in Italy and Hotel Primavera was by far the best hotel we stayed at. The rooms were clean, bathrooms were so nice, and the staff was beyond friendly and helpful. It’s also in a perfect location. Walk downstairs and your immediately surround by shops, restaurants, and right across the street from where the ferry rides are to travel to the islands. We ended up canceling one of our hotels in another city just to stay here an extra night. We we lucky they had...

went out to stresa for my birthday as had never been for a short break. easily reached by alibus or train to stresa itself. great location, so beautiful loads to see and do. boats so easily available to taxi you about to other resorts on lake but so glad to of stayed in stresa.
with the lake and views as far as you can see and the alps in distance lit up by the sun when it was out there nothing to do buy chill out, explore and soak up the scenery with lots of food and drink.

Everything worked well from the ease of checking in to the upgraded room overlooking the lake to the excellent, responsive staff. The visit was a delight from start to finish. Of particular note were the arrangements for breakfast and the extreme helpfulness and resourcefulness of the members of the concierge team. Can't speak highly enough of them.

The welcome when we arrived was lovely. The rooms and facilities are very good, comfortable bed and nice shower and bathroom.
Breakfast is varied and delicious. Nothing negative about the hotel.

Our second visit. We brought the family with us. Two young granddaughters loved the indoor & outdoor swimming pools. Breakfast excellent! Hopefully we will return again.

Apartment was huge but felt the space could have been configured a bit better e.g. with a kitchenette or more comfy living area. View was amazing (just be aware that the picture shown is when the trees were very young/ had no leaves and they now cover the lake view). Breakfast was nice. Cleaning was good but would have liked the bed linen to be changed - we stayed for 5 nights and it was not changed.

Loved my stay here, dinner in restaurant was amazing and breakfast outstanding. Staff couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. Even gave us a lift to train station so we could eat breakfast. Outstanding.

This was our sixth stay at the Bussola as Orta is somewhere we visit regularly. For the first time in a few visits we ate here too. We had forgotten how good the food is and having dinner and on the terrace overlooking the lake is the perfect location to enjoy it. The menu was different on each of the two nights with enough choice for most people. The only minor criticism from last time, paying for WiFi, has now been resolved and it’s free like most hotels. It’s only a matter of time until our...

We have just returned from a week at the Antico Verbana apartments and can thoroughy recommend them. The staff on reception are pleasant and respond to your requests quickly. We arrived at 7pm in the evening so as information on the website says there were no staff on duty, but the envelope with our keys to the apartment were on the reception desk waiting for us.
As other guests have said, there is a restaurant which is very good but this is not always available due to private functions. ...

Friendly helpful staff .
When the train to Malpensa was cancelled due to flooding on the line , the very helpful gentleman on reception booked me on the shuttle bus direct to Malpensa , which was ideal .
Excellent service - thank you!

Good hotel, large clean room with small balcony. Breakfast was buffet style with plenty of choice. Plenty of parking space including a large underground garage. On our visit internet speed was quite slow. Overall very good value!
