Fantastic View
A lovely apartment with a fantastic view of Lake Maggiore and Isola Bella. An electric gate to spacious parking - difficult to find in Stresa apartments! A short walk to Carcione ferry station to go to the islands, but a short drive to a large car park in Stresa next to Stresa ferry station so very easy to get around. Apartment very well equipped - everything you need. Thank you for a lovely stay.

Fabulous Apartment In A Stunning Villa
In a word - faultless. Communication from the owner was excellent. The apartment was exactly as described, spotlessly clean and very well equipped. The electric gates and sweeping driveway up to the villa certainly added to the 'wow' factor. Villa Dora is divided into several apartments, and during our visit all the others were empty, which added to the feeling we were somewhere very special. A 5 minute walk takes you to the ferry terminal so exploring Lake Maggiore without the car is easy. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this property and can't wait to stay there again.

Beautiful 2 bedroom apartment with stunning 5* view of the lake from your own private terrace, perfect if you want your own space. About 25 min walk into the centre of town, but cable car and ferry stop only 10 min away. First 7 min along quiet main road, safe in single file, then it's lakefront path all the way. Washing machine very handy, locked outer gates, great shower, comfy beds. Owner Laura was extremely helpful and lovely. Loads to do, Tomassucci Travel trips very good. Taxi to airport 100euro, Alibus cheaper option. Highly recommend!

Belle villa avec une magnifique vue à 360
L’accueil de la propriétaire a été appréciable avec tous ses conseils des visites à proximité et elle est très réactive. L’emplacement est idéal, la vue est grandiose et c’est un tableau vivant. La maison est agréable à vivre : confort des lits, équipement vaisselle et capsules de cafés nombreuses, Juste préciser que c’est un lave-vaisselle pour deux. Seuls bémols : petit réseau wifi, peu de débit et autre point celui de la Clim qui est très capricieux.

Toller Aufenthalt
Wir waren 5 Tage Ende September 4 Erwachsene und ein Hund. Die Lage, die Aussicht und der Garten sind schon absolut einzigartig. Laura die Vermieterin echt sehr nett und super zuvorkommend. Nähe zu Stresa Zentrum ca. 20 min zu Fuß - allerdings die letzten die erstem 300 Meter an der Straße entlang doch sehr gefährlich vor allem im dunkeln. Die Unterkunft ist OK etwas in die Jahre gekommen aber für ein paar Tage ausreichend. Wir hatten Glück mit nur gutem Wetter und somit eh fast nur auf der tollen Terrasse. Leider steht in der Anzeige nicht das dies 6 Appartments sind - die meisten wohl Eigentümer die nicht da waren. So hatten wir es für uns alleine. lso wir würden wieder gehen,

Bella Dora
We’ve had very relaxing stay at the Villa Dora in Stresa. Laura, the owner was very friendly and helpful in getting further information. The Villa is directly placed at the main sea road towards Stresa, which might become at little bit noisy during the weekend. But the view and the location is able to compensate. We would come again.

Hat den Erwartungen leider nicht entsprochen
Das Haus von aussen, die Lage und Gastgeberin Laura waren nahezu perfekt. Betrat man aber die Ferienwohnung im Haus kam Enttäuschung auf. Die Ausstattung der Wohnung war bunt zusammengewürfelt. Die Möbel waren alt und abgenutzt und entsprachen überhaupt nicht dem äußeren Flair des Hauses. Alle Möbelstücke hatten wohl schon einige Leben hinter sich. Einzig schöne Teil ware ein Kacheloffen, der als Dekoration diente. Mülleimer standen herum und die Küchenzeile lud auch nicht zum kochen ein. Der Fernseher (er wurde von der Gastgeberin während unseren Aufenthalts ausgetauscht) war kaum größer als ein PC Bildschirm und deutsche Programme waren nicht verfügbar. Wir haben uns leider nicht sehr wohl gefühlt.

Wunderschöne Villa
Die Villa Dora ist ein wunderschönes Haus mit einem sehr großen Garten. Die Wohnung hat alles, was man braucht. Laura ist eine hilfsbereite und superfreundliche Vermieterin, die jederzeit erreichbar ist. Ganz besonders schön ist die Terrasse vor der Wohnung mit traumhaftem Blick auf die Isola Bella. Dort haben wir viele Stunden verbracht. Die Straße hört man zwar, aber durch den großen Garten besteht genug Abstand. Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen!
