Orit
Absolutely wonderful historic hotel. An immersive museum of Italian art, outstanding service, and most beautiful grounds.
Julian
Truly grand hotel, friendly staff, excellent restaurant, good fitness center and lovely lake access.
Amanda
Had a great week stay. Room clean and comfortable. Great amenities especially the spa area and pool.
Neil
Stayed four nights with my 14-year old daughter. Amazing hotel in a picturesque location. Lots to do on and off property. Pool, spa, boat rides on the lake and exploring the islands. Great restaurants. Incredible staff who were always friendly and helpful. 10 out of 10.
Karen
The hotel is absolutely beautiful & well maintained in every detail. Kudos to the gardening staff for the magnificent surroundings bathed in the scent of jasmine. Spa experience (massage & facial) was excellent. My lake view superior room was lovely, clean.
I’d think twice before staying here again for 1 reason: the sub-standard food. We dined at Il Borromeo 3 times & none of our dishes were hot nor prepared as ordered. They came out of the kitchen too quickly after ordering so we gathered they were pre-made. One night we ordered Wagyu steaks, medium rare. They were thin cut, served COLD & medium well; vegetables & sauce also stone cold. Sent them back & received well done meat. Sent that back & ordered the tagliata steaks, medium rare …got medium. The cacio e pepe was lukewarm, veal without flavor. The carbonara was also lukewarm & sticky rather than creamy. Bread was hard & lacked flavor. As for the breakfast served in Il Borromeo all the various croissants were dry (so disappointing). The lone bright spot for dining is Le Bistrot — the poolside snack bar! Great food there.
Other small things need work: water bottles not replaced during our 4 day stay, no mint at turndown is odd for a 5-star, CNN not working even though we reported it twice. At check in Reception did not have a record of my pre-booked spa appointment & said *I* should call the spa to confirm. (Umm, no, that’s your job, Sir.) Restaurant staff more concerned about breaking down tables than serving guests.

Room is clean and beautifully decorated. Staff are friendly and courteous. Valet parking is great! Great view from hotel and close to city center.

The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Concierge staff were very knowledgeable. We love staying at this hotel. We love the town of Stresa and would love to come back.

Great location and wonderful service

Hotel historico y elegante, qu te hace sentir en un verdadero palacio. las habitaciones aunque estan bien, les vendría bien una remodelacion. Las vistas al lago son maravillosas.
catherine
Front desk staff and concierge were accommodating and friendly. One person was not so nice - ignored us standing there for quite a while even though no one else was around. But other than that, excellent!
Spa was amazing! We enjoyed it every day. Would definitely stay here again!

This Hotel is a MUST to stay in.As you drive up you think you are in a time machine as you approach this gorgeous edifice from another century.Th...e rooms are spacious and you feel as if you are either in a castle or a museum. Staff extremely friendly and welcoming. Located only a short walk from the ferrys to the islands.breakfast was out of thos world.Fantastic choices everyday with spectacular service.This is the Hotel to choose if you are going to visit Lake Maggiore.

Carol Ann
We are extremely disappointed with this stay, especially as returning guests who previously had much better experiences. Unfortunately, the hotel has clearly gone downhill and no longer reflects a 5-star standard.The room was poorly cleaned with dust throughout, a dirty bathroom, cigarette butts on the balcony, and a strong smell of smoke despite requesting a non-smoking room. This is completely unacceptable.
Room service was also poor, with missing items and cold, low-quality food. Breakfast was disorganised and frustrating — staff were unhelpful, coffee repeatedly had to be requested as it was not available at the buffet, and service in general was extremely slow. We also asked several times for tea and coffee, but it took far too long to arrive. Although I specifically asked for gluten-free bread, none ever arrived, and when we asked if there was any fresh gluten-free bread or pastries available, none were provided. We travel frequently, and this is the first time we have stayed in a 5-star hotel where there were no fresh gluten-free products available at all, apart from a few sealed processed items. This is far below expected standards.
The hotel also states it is pet friendly, however dogs are not allowed in the restaurants, which was disappointing. As a result, we had to find nearby dog-friendly restaurants instead.
Public areas were overcrowded and noisy, particularly the pool, with little control from staff. Front desk service on arrival was indifferent and unwelcomin

I was impressed by the fact that Napolean Bonaparte came to stay in this area. That made this experience very unique.
Ellen
Room was beautiful and clean. Staff was not always friendly
Viktoriya
The stay was perfect. The hotel is established and you feel the history and class when you are walking in. The hotel staff is always available from unpacking your car and delivery your luggage on arrival to picking your luggage and packing your car back during departure. The service is incredible. The restaurant and bar are good with the variety of choices.
Lorna
Absolutely beautiful hotel and grounds. One of the best stays I have had. First class in everything they do - lounge, spa, service, room. Room was extremely comfortable and beautiful and had an amazing lake view.
Carol R.
beautiful and palatial! this building was just what I was looking for as our first stop on the lakes
breakfast was plentiful and in a great dining room
bar was expensive and outdoor bar even more so but
Spa made up for it - absolutely amazing! I loved every minute of that pool and the amenities of the Spa area. The room was small but beautifully appointed

nalie
The hotel is pretty dated and for the amount of money paid, I'd stay elsewhere next time. Pros: Breakfast buffet had a wide variety of food although not much hot food. Dining area is very nice. Gym is better than expected and the treatments area is well done. Cons: Hotel rooms don't receive any direct sunlight leaving the rooms always feeling kind of dark. They have thermostats but the hotel had no heating so had to sleep with an extra duvet and wore my fleece all the time. My biggest issue is with the staff and service. Some staff were super friendly and lovely and others were absolutely rude. My mother wanted to pay for lunch and the maître 'd practically threw the receipt at my mother and turned his back on her to answer the phone. There were a handful of rude micro aggressions that we experienced our 4 nights there. Next time I'd pay extra to stay at Boutique Hotel Stresa or save money and stay at a 4*.

Excellent! Would return- no hesitation
Overall very pleased. Hotel’s location & room’s lake view were fabulous! Breakfast buffet was excellent. King room was a good size for 2 people. Room price included pool & spa amenities which were clean & outstanding. Absolutely no complaints except this one - The mattress was old and uncomfortable due to a large sleepers indentation. Definitely time to replace the mattress in room 310!
vickie
A very nice hotel, the area was beautiful and close to the City Center.
Joy
An old, stately hotel, with works of art in the corridors, lobby and gardens. Wonderful housekeeping and laundry service. Very plentiful buffet breakfast included, where one can sit at a table overlooking Lake Maggiore. The dinner at this restaurant was excellent. The hotel is a 15 minute walk to the town of Stresa, where there are shops, restaurants, and a boat to transport you to the islands. The gym/spa/pool complex is amazing. The crowning glory of the hotel are the expansive lake views from many rooms. What a glorious thing to wake up to sunrise over the lake!
Jason Charles
Beautiful property with excellent views across the lake. Good gluten-free options for dining, lovely pool and spa areas. Friendly staff, a great option for staying in Stresa.
Kate Anne
Lovely stay, room a little dated but in keeping with the hotel
Myriam
As always….a wonderful place!
Alisha
The service was fantastic but the rooms are small and tired. Our sink was blocked and the bed was quite uncomfortable. The shower head was on the long side of the shower over bath, not the end wall. It was impossible to keep water inside the shower area.

Unforgettable Stay in a paradisiac environment
We enjoyed our time in this marvelous hotel every minute. It was one of the most memorable stay, the hotel being an architectural highlight and disposing of a highly professional staff. The spa is as impressive as the beautiful environment of the hotel.
Nowlan
This is one of our favorite hotels in the world. It is Old-World glam, and was a favorite of Ernest Hemingway's. The dining and hospitality are wonderful. We also love the sweet town of Stressa, set on Lago Maggiore. We went Baromee island hopping to beat the heat. The ferry stop was a few minutes stroll from the Hotel. Was all in all an unforgettable experience - and our second time there. We willbe back! .

Ingrid
This is a stunning hotel and was like staying in a palace. The spa and indoor pool were fantastic especially as it rained during our stay. The Hemingway bar was a great place for a drink in the evening with relaxing live music. Some of the room decor is a bit dated. Especially the drapes, bed covers and curtains but otherwise it was a very special place to stay.
Martin
A fabulous Grand Hotel
Des Iles Borromees is a hotel that prides itself on delivery and presentation of classic Victorian age elegance and style, with a modern twist. The restored building is fabulous and the rooms are finished to the same standard. Attention to detail by the hotel staff is superb and everything is delivered with a smile. We will definitely return in the future.
Farah
Old school Italian charm. Has kept a certain elegance and upkeep that is sadly missing from most places. Hemingway would spend many a night there.
Anthony
Great!!
Denise
Probably the most beautiful hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The baroque decor is stunning and the views over the lake are incredible.
Arlene
Beautiful hotel right on the lake!
Anngel
We only stayed for one night, but it was lovely. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond and the rooms and grounds were gorgeous.
rick
Absolutely fantastic could not have asked for a more beautiful location, good food, and really nice accommodations
Simon Michael
We wanted an elegant Italian hotel full of style, and this hotel certainly delivered. Our room was upgraded to a lake view, presumably because the hotel wasn’t full. Everywhere you looked there was art work, beautiful decor and a luxurious feel, without being overwhelming. The staff could not be more helpful and professional, particularly the concierge. Breakfast was delicious with a wide range of food. The bed was quite firm and the cute balcony would have been the perfect place to sit and relax looking at the lake, had it not been for the weather - it rained! However, we would love to return to the hotel some time in the future, with fingers crossed for sunshine.
Kerry
We loved this very well kept classic hotel. The history, the furnishings, the spa & pool are all exceptional. We will return.

The view was breathtaking. Service was very helpful. The spa was lovely! We had an amazing time there!

Great Hotel overlooking the lake
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is a beautiful place. The rooms and the hotel were very clean, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We didn't eat dinner at the restaurant there, but the breakfast and the servers were outstanding. The hotel is walking distance to the city center where all the shops and restaurants are. The view of the lake from our room was beautiful. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone. You can't go wrong.
Thomas
Very elegant
Elena
That’s an awesome, really luxury hotel. Everything - parking, service, restaurant, decor, room cleanliness, location - is top notch!!! The spa is awesome with a large indoor pool from which you can swim to an outdoor pool with various labyrinths, showers and jacuzzis and an outstanding “heat” room with a hamam, a sauna, a Turkish sauna and a snow room!!! When in Stresa this is a must to stay in!
Katarzyna
Our recent stay at this historical 5-star hotel was a mix of charm and disappointment. While the ambiance and architecture were truly remarkable, our experience was marred by an issue that, for a hotel of this caliber, should have been easily avoidable.
Our excitement quickly faded when we discovered in the middle of the night that the mattress in our room was broken. It sagged uncomfortably in the middle, making restful sleep nearly impossible. Given the hotel's 5-star rating, we expected a level of comfort that simply wasn’t met.
The following day, we approached the front desk to discuss our concerns and requested to speak with the manager. We were informed that he would be available in an hour. After going for breakfast we returned only to be met with confusion. The staff began searching for him, and after about 20 minutes, we were told that the manager was out of the hotel and not available to address our concerns.
At this point, we expressed our disappointment and requested a discount due to the inconvenience. The staff assured us that they would send us an email regarding their decision. While we appreciated the effort, it felt inadequate given the circumstances.
For a 5-star establishment, we expected upgraded mattresses and a more proactive approach to guest service. The decision we got via email was basically that they are sorry but they can’t give us any discount or refund. We would hesitate to recommend this hotel to others seeking a truly luxurious stay.

Excellent location. Lovely views from hotel. 10 minutes flat walking to centre of town for dining. Luca, one of the concierges, was extremely helpful on the day of a train strike in organising alternative transport when I was let down by my booked taxi. Many thanks to Luca.

Property and in particular the rooms were definitely dated. Bathroom had no ventilation and I found some black mold growing on side of shower door that was not cleaned. Smelled as if plumbing wasn’t the most advanced. Junior sweet was still small. Restaurant staff was incredibly helpful, however concierge and front desk staff was just okay and not the most friendly (maybe it was just to us). For example, we went to borrow an umbrella, but were told they were out, only to have the concierge flag down someone for an umbrella to give to the couple who went up after us. Waited 5 minutes to try to be acknowledged so I could get our luggage and finally I had to let the concierge know we had a train to catch before they helped me. Overall, it was a beautiful hotel, had a lot of old school charm but rooms could definitely use an upgrade and extra cleaning procedure. Concierge could definitely be more friendly, but maybe it was because we are American and spoke English. Spa however was very modern and nice.

This property has an amazing location and walkable to the town of stresa. The spa is absolutely amazing ..one of the best I’ve experienced. Pools are great ! One is deep with diving board . My major complaint is the room needs updating. While I understand the old world feel, the rooms are dated , furniture is old and worn and very heavy drapes also carpeting should be removed for sanitary reasons . Also a/c vent in my room (550) had black dust or mold in it .

It had an outstanding spa and a lovely outside pool and gardens but the common parts were well worn and it reflected 1980 decor. The bar was at the side of the lounge and it gave it a waiting room feel. It would have been nice for it to be in an area with its own identity and access to a designated outdoor terrace. The access to the outdoor pool was through the front entrance with a walk around the hotel to the back which was a little strange
Lee
Beautiful, elegant hotel. Spa is amazing! Outdoor pool is great to relax by, my grandchildren loved swimming in the spa pool as well. Service and food were excellent, the breakfast buffet was delicious. The lake views from our room were gorgeous. Can’t say enough good things!

Wonderful spa, very good breakfast, very decorative hotel.
Only negative is lack of sound proofing.. you hear literally everything from the corridor, doors opening and closing, guests talking, room service.. difficult to sleep after 7am.

Old world charm, the rooms are frumpy, not modern, but that's not a negative. The views of the lake are amazing, it is right across the street. Great location and food.

Beautiful property and exceptional service. Paulo is a fantastic head waiter! The food was exquisite also.
