We absolutely loved this Hotel , our room was on the 4th floor which gave fabulous
views of the lake and the islands. The staff without exception were the friendliest we have encountered in a hotel , our room was very comfortable and kept spotlessly clean by the lovely Simona. The breakfasts were buffet style, very good and lots of choice. The hotel restaurant in the evening was exceptional for evenings when we didn’t want to walk back into stressa. For us the location was perfect as we enjoyed the 15 - 20 minute gentle scenic walk along the lake to get to the centre of stressa , the railway station was an easy 10 minute walk and the small harbour to catch a boat to the islands was just 5 minutes walk .
We would absolutely stay at this hotel again
Thank you to all the staff but special mention to William , Sara and Simona

A lovely hotel. Excellent staff all so friendly and helpful. Our room with lake view from one of two balconies was spacious and very comfortable. Swimming pool quiet. Always sun loungers available. Staff came out several times to ask if we wanted anything from the bar. Great choice of food at breakfast - hot and cold, sweet and savoury, love the walnut bread and fresh orange juice. A scenic 20 min walk into town, this may be too far for some especially if very hot. We couldn’t see a taxi rank in town.
Had a great holiday thanks to Hotel Flora. Stresa and Lake Maggiore a beautiful part of the world.

We have mixed feelings about this hotel. There are some things that were great (such as the view from the balcony and the friendly staff). However, we found the location was just a little too far from the Centre of town for people who do not have a car. Other travelers should note that it is a long walk into the main part of town with the restaurants. We were also staying at the hotel at the same time as a bus tour group and that was problematic. The hotel seemed to struggle with the numbers of people for breakfast and, as a consequence, we arrived for breakfast each day only to find all the hot food had gone and there was little sign that it was going to be replaced. We felt that this could have been better managed by the hotel.

3 stars? It should be at least 4 stars

One of the best experiences I have ever had with a hotel. As the title says, it's a 3-star hotel, but should be at least 4.

One of the best experiences I have ever had with a hotel. As the title says, it's a 3-star hotel, but should be at least 4.
I booked a room with a view on the lake. It's been absolutely outstanding: super clean, new, well decorated, with all the amenities and spacious.
The staff was very professional and kind.
The building itself is pretty new, very clean, and nicely decorated (like a 4+ star hotel). Breakfast was included in the price, and offered food for any taste. Food quality was very high, even for Italian standards.
I'd definitely come back to this hotel and I strongly recommend it.
