Apartment was spacious and balcony was comfortable. I only rated 4 overall because with the bedroom window open car noise did wake me up but I am a light sleeper.

Comfortable, clean, spacious apartment with all the amenities. Great location within walking distance of the train station, town center, and lake promenade. Very friendly and helpful hosts - provided drive to and from the train station and offered additional transportation. Stresa is a beautiful, peaceful setting for a vacation.
The apartment is very spacious with a balcony overlooking a beautiful garden. The balcony is suitable for 2 people and we loved being able to sit outside after a day walking/sightseeing. If there's more than 2 people occupying the apartment the garden is a great place to sit/relax or play if there's children.. The bedroom has a lovely king-size bed with a great firm mattress. We self-catered mostly and found the kitchen ok with a good sized fridge plus freezer compartment. The bathroom looks as if it's been recently renovated and is lovely.
Nice appartment with a small lake view. You can reach the lake by walk.

herrschuechtige und arrogante Person
Absolut nicht zu hosten
We really enjoyed our stay and the apartment worked well with two young kids. The highlight were our hosts who welcomed us warmly, gave so many tips on activities in the area and were always super responsive to any question. Thank you!

great location at Lago Maggiore
Me and my elderly parents spent great holidays in Carciano - Stresa. Mostly thanks to Mr. Giuseppe Paracchini and his wonderful family.
The description of the appartment, its location, layout and facilities were accurate and we found this place very comfortable, clean and cosy. The owner prepared a lot of the information and every time he and his family were ready to help. I would definetly recommend this place to other tourists.

Many thanks, we were happy to have you in our house.
We hope to meet you again next year.
Our host was very helpful. She was there to greet us when we arrived. She showed us how things worked. She went over boat time tables and things to see in the area. It was a nice roomy apartment ; we enjoyed our time in Stresa. A nice place to unwind and get away from the crowds

Comfortable apartment in Carciano
Guiseppe & his daughter were very welcoming and the apartment was well equipped. It was well located for the Lido ferries & the cable car. The walk up to the apartment could be quite challenging for anyone with a low level of fitness. It is quite steep in places. we had a lovely stay.

Excellent apartment. Nice, informative, owners
The apartment is neat, clean and very well stocked. Location is quiet and tucked away in a nice neighborhood about a lovely ten-minute walk away Stresa. An excellent little grocery is a block away and there's a wonderful restaurant right down the street. All in all a very good experience. Giuseppe and his daughter were helpful and attentive. We were picked up at the train station and taken to the apartment.

Thank you for your words, we were happy to host you!
The property is very nice with a very large living room and a very large bedroom. The bathroom is renovated and modern. The kitchen is too small and there are not enough counter spaces to work on if you wanted to cook which we did. It really needs an update.
The other drawback was it's location in that it wasn't in the centre of town. It wasn't too bad but it's quite a climb to get there from town. The car parking was okay but on a steep hill also, The balcony is small as well, so you couldn't really sit out.

Quiet and spacious apartment, a good base for visiting Stresa and the islands
We received a warm welcome with Giuseppe meeting us at the station and driving us on a tour of Stresa. At the end of our stay he also kindly drove us down to the bus stop for the Alibus to Malpensa airport. So we had no need to carry our luggage and we did not hire a car, though, if we had, parking was free nearby. There was an excellent shop 3 minutes' walk away, open every day, serving bread, charcuterie and cheeses, as well as other basic groceries. Five minutes away there was also a friendly restaurant and bar at the Centro Sportivo, La Cascina, where we ate very well. To reach the Lido with access to the boats took us 20 minutes walking( downhill ), whilst a useful bus stop for other lakeside towns, and for Lake Orta was about 15 minutes. So we had easy access to transport and amenities whilst being away from the bustle of Stresa.
The entrance hall to the building is elegant, large and secure. The apartment was very spacious, clean and beautifully furnished with everything you could need for a comfortable stay. We used the balcony off the kitchen for our breakfasts and many evening meals. It had a very pleasant outlook over the garden, which was also available to us.. Fiamma joined her father to show us all the tourist information provided and offer advice. Our delightful hosts were available throughout the holiday should we need anything.

Nice apartment with some drawbacks
Good contact with landloard in the beginning (in fact you chat with his grand daughter). Reliable key handover. Apartment spacious, but rather old-fashioned. Towels available and clean, same for bed sheets. I would expect cleaner floors (don't look below furniture...) and to not have to clean dishes etc myself because of their condition... Road in front of the house is small but noisy, so we kept windows closed on daytime, only opened at night to get fresh air inside.
Up till her we rated 3-4 stars... But then I received incredible rating by landloard, mainly claiming that they did no see us open the windows (well, with small child we get up early and do it then, to rather get cool air inside - ifyou don't get up the same time, how can you judge?). Second claim was that we did not clean the floors when we left. Seriously, I pay a cleaning fee. Why should I do the cleaning then myself?
What disappointed me the most was that this poor rating came unexpected, no asking for reasons of our alleged behavior.
Well, so I need to go to the friendly overall rating of 3 stars.
Host molto accogliente ci ha spiegato bene la zona attorno all appartamento, ci siamo trovati molto bene nella casa molto bene arredata e accessoriata, bagno appena rifatto molto bene
Wir haben uns in dieser Ferienwohnung sehr wohl gefühlt. Die Gastgeber waren sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben nichts vermisst und sehr gerne auf dem Balkon gefrühstückt und abends dort ein Glas Wein getrunken- mit Blick in den Garten. Zu empfehlen!
Logement très bien situé, avec places de parking gratuite situées a proximité.
Logement tres confortable (tres bonne literie) et bien équipé
Ideal poue visiter le lac majeur et ses iles
Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit am Lago und in der Wohnung. Die Wohnung ist sauber, sehr groß, ein schön renoviertes Bad und hat einen schnuckeliger Balkon, auf welchem wir jeden Morgen unser Frühstück genossen haben. Am Abend liegt der Balkon im Schatten und läd zum Verweilen, Karten spielen oder sonstigem ein. Die Vermieter sind sehr herzlich und bemüht. Wir hatten eine wunderschöne Zeit hier am Lago Maggiore und in der Wohnung
Joli appartement, très grand et bien équipé, salle de bain neuve, dans un quartier calme à 20 minutes à pied du centre, avec vue sur le lac. Nous avons beaucoup apprécié ces quelques jours! Giuseppe et sa fille sont des hôtes extrêmement accueillants - nous reviendrons!
Logement très confortable, et spacieux, très bien situé pour découvrir les rives du Lac Majeur, les îles Borromées et les villages pittoresques qui bordent le lac. Proche du centre de Stresa et de ses commodités, et de l'embarcadère de Carciano. Idéal ! Et un grand merci aux propriétaires pour leur accueil et leurs conseils sur les visites à effectuer. Nous reviendrons.
What a lovely property. Really helpful owners who live next door. A bit of a walk to the train station and the main part of Stresa but beautiful to sit out on the balcony in the evening looking at the garden.
