Guests can enjoy a pleasant stroll to Villa Pallavicino, surrounded by a lush park inhabited by various animal species, while nature lovers can explore the surrounding area through cycling paths and scenic trails.

Hello, I'm Marisa. After managing a restaurant in the charming square of Stresa with my family for many years, I completely renovated this house between 2020 and 2021. I followed my personal tastes to create a welcoming, yet informal environment, so that guests feel at home.
I am very pleased to get to know my guests and, if they wish, I can recommend tourist itineraries, food and wine experiences, and other activities that our area offers. From the wonders of Lake Maggiore, Mergozzo, and Orta, to the picturesque Monte Mottarone and the enchanting Ossola Valleys, our territory is one of the most beautiful destinations in the world.
My greatest satisfaction is to make my guests' experience a pleasant memory.
