We are in the 60-70 age bracket.
We are in Stresa in one of the most beautiful hotels we have stayed in. For me I enjoy connecting with people and I found all the staff at Hotel du Parc to be most friendly. It is a high point to end my love affair with Italy.
My wife booked the room with a lake and mountain views - spectacular!
The gardens are lovely with massive trees and hidrangea scattered on the grounds. And I managed to thank the gardener for doing a fine job!
The hotel is a short walk into town/lake but that also saves going into ZTL area and fined.

Breakfast - wide range of cold meat, cheeses, together with cereals and yoghurt, pastries etc.
The dining room is on the first floor with views over the lake.
Room and bed are very comfortable and the bathroom is standard.

The hotel has been in the same family for three generations. And I hope will continue to be dedicated to the memory of grandparents who established the hotel.

Oh by the way we were here when Maserati had a conference so I also was able to get to see my fav car.

The hotel was lovely, our room was really beautiful and hand painted and had a lovely bathroom- it was in the annexe which has no lift but we did know this in advance. Staff were really helpful and had lots of advice on places to go and things to do, and were always really friendly. Breakfast was good and had a nice view of the lake. Good location not far from the train station or the centre of Stresa.

Great hotel, in the heart of the town, run by lovely family who care for their guests. Reserve room facing lake which have a stunning view over the town towards the lake, which is a short stroll away. Owners always ready to help and advise best places to go and how to get there. Would definitely stay here again.
