Hotel La Palma

“The perfect stay in perfect Stresa”

It's hard to say what I loved most: the clean and comfortable rooms, the classy rooftop, the relaxing spa, the mouthwatering breakfast, the kindness of the staff or the breathtaking pool on the lake. The perfect stay in the perfect Stresa, a jewel on Maggiore lake.

“What an amazing experience”

The Hotel de Palma is stunning. After check-in we enjoyed a delicious lunch on the rooftop, relaxed in the heated rooftop pool with an Aperol Spritz and booked a massage for the evening. Room 511 is perfectly appointed with a large terrace offering a breathtaking view of the lake. I enjoyed the amenities and soft towels/robes. The hotel is perfectly situated across from the lake and close to the main train station. Only a few steps away are the ferry boats to the islands and the town center is a few minutes walk. Morning breakfast was excellent. I look forward to many future stays here when visiting Stresa. Thank you!

My husband and I stayed 2 nights here during a roadtrip through Europe. This was the best hotel of our trip. We have stayed at 5 star hotels that don’t compare to this one. Room was spacious and had breathtaking views. It had everything we needed including high quality toiletries and robes, blackout curtains, comfortable bed. The garden up front is beautiful with lots of seating options. It was too cold for the pool, but we used the rooftop jacuzzi, which is more like a heated pool, where half of it is the jacuzzi side. I preferred that it wasn’t a super hot jacuzzi, this way we could hang out in it for a while, and soak up the view. The rooftop bar was very popular at night. Breakfast buffet had a vast variety of food to please every taste and culture. Would stay here again if back in the area.

“Guests with a disability are very welcome here”

We spent 7 very enjoyable days here where hotel staff couldn’t do enough for you.

We spent 7 very enjoyable days here where hotel staff couldn’t do enough for you. After a mix up on the hotel’s part with regard to the accessible room that I had booked , the hotel very quickly put that right and gave us a suite that enabled me to use the decent sized bathroom. Thanks to the General Manager and Alina for sorting this out. We were on a half board basis . Breakfasts were excellent with a very good choice, especially fruit, breads and pastries. Dinner was a little more formal with a wide choice and a menu that had a mixture of fixed items and new choice items daily. Food quality and presentation was first class. Our room was well appointed with a very comfortable bed and fresh linen changes every second day or so. It was nice to have a side balcony which had very good views of the lake. Room also had decent wardrobe space, a mini bar with enough room to store our own personal items and a safe. I must take this opportunity to comment on the cleanliness of the room and how promptly and professionally it was cleaned every morning. We used the sky bar on the 7th floor. It’s a real cool place to spend a few hours with wonderful lake views. Drinks are on the pricey side but it did not stop us having one or two along with our lunch there. Location of the hotel on the lake shore and ten minutes walk from Stresa’s shops, cafes and restaurants was ideal. It was a good base to use to go exploring . Everyone working there that we encountered had a smile for you and while it was very busy on a few of the days things still worked well ( ie restaurant service, reception etc). Thank you and we hope to return.
