Locations and opening times

Most hotels are located by the waterfront or very close to it, just a short distance from boats to the Borromean Islands and other ports on Lake Maggiore. It is also possible to stay on the Isola dei Pescatori, although not on the other islands. As well as the hotels in Stresa, accommodation is also available in nearby Baveno (1.2 miles from Stresa), which is a charming tourist town and a convenient base for visiting the islands and the lake.
Due to the exceptionally mild climate and a lively schedule of cultural events, the long tourist season runs from March to October. Most hotels are open during this period, but during the winter months the choice can be more limited.
