Lake Maggiore - Hotel Primavera offers elegant hotel accommodation in the pedestrianised centre of Stresa. Just a few steps away lie the Piedmont shores of Lake Maggiore, where boats wait to set out upon the lake.
The hotel has a tasteful and refined atmosphere. There are 34 rooms, all with private bathrooms, a lift, a bar and parking 300 metres away.
All the rooms have been refurbished in the last few years. All have telephone, satellite TV, and internet connections, and most have balconies overlooking the streets of the old centre of Stresa.
Lake Maggiore (or Verbano) lies in north-eastern Piedmont, bordering Lombardy and Switzerland, and is the second largest Italian lake after Garda. With a mild climate, good hotels and excellent campsites, Lake Maggiore is a highly sought after tourist destination. There are connections to the ski slopes at Mottarone and a plethora of watersports on the lake itself. Fishing, water skiing, rowing, sailing and swimming are all on offer, and there are three good golf courses at Stresa, Gignese and Premeno.
Stresa itself occupies a marvellous position on the lake. This international tourist resort faces out onto the Borromeo Islands, and developed during the second half of the 19th century. Its hotels and villas, built in Liberty style, created its unique, and peculiarly elegant look.
