Casa Dante - WelcHome

The apartment is well equipped, and in good conditions. We would have enjoyed it unless the problem with the host occurred (see below)

Unfortunately the apartment seemed not have been in use for a while. When we arrived there was 15 degrees inside, with all shutters down. The rest is just narrating the facts, please conclude for yourselves about the hospitality that we received. We called the landlady/host (her name is Alice) to do something about the issue. Her first reaction was that there is 23 degrees outside so why we needed any heating. Her second reaction was that we were seemingly too old and we could not stand a lower temperature. She suggested to switch on the remote on the living room. We did that and then we went out (after that, this is why we came for). After we returned, it was still 15 degrees in the flat. We have called again the landlady by she did not answer. So we had the opportunity to sleep with our sweaters and socks on (we felt young again! :)) The first thing next morning was to call Alice again, who suggested to solve the issue in half a day by sending a plumber. We did not agree as we wanted to leave again for an excursion and did not want to spend another night freezing. Then she called us uncapable to press a button (the ON button for the heating) and hung up (!) the phone. She did not answer any more calls afterwards, but she continued to send us messages on how she wanted to solve the issue. Finally she asked a colleague to come by, who manipulated something on the heating system (hidden behind a cupboard on the corridor), which finally started the heating. Even when she asked back a few hours later about the situation she used the SMS and called our problem a "BIG" problem, no apologies at all for anything. Yet another bothering thing is that you need to fetch the keys from the agency that is 500m away, it is in a pedestrian area, it opens at 15.00 and there is no way to park close to it (at least we have not succeeded. The same is when to leave the keys. One should count for this extra time. I wonder why they cannot come up with a simpler solution.

Location. Kitchen well equiped. Clean. Quite, except for the dogs :)

No condition, the temperature inside the apartment all the time was 28-31 degree with or without a fan, that is standing in the living room. Dogs. Barking every evening.

Free WiFi works very well. Well equipped kitchen. Nice supermarket Conad + pizzeria Il Faro e la Luna. Close to train station and 10min from boats. Sofa is actually a sofa bed but they do not advertise this and there is no extra sheets for the sofabed. And there's only 4 chairs and a stool anyway. They provide shower gel and shampoo and fluffy towels. The dogs did not disturb us at all and neighbours were friendly! Great place!

Very friendly and hospitable hosts, although we never saw each other during my stay. All issues were resolved by phone, it was convenient for me to check in and get the keys and leave at the appointed place when leaving. The apartments are located on the 1st floor and it is very convenient when you are with children, and there were 3 children with us. Sufficiently comfortable and roomy apartments for families with children. Located close to the promenade, shops and restaurants, the station is also nearby. Supermarket 2 minutes at least from the apartment. Someone wrote here that they are worried about dog barking, I can say that in all the time I heard only once a dog and it was not long, it seems to me that people who write that they are worried about it greatly exaggerate. I will definitely be back Casa Dante on my next visit to Stresa

Some of the neighbors complained about the noise from our children. Perhaps this is the same person that complains about barking dogs)))

The apartment is very new and the interior has style and is very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. The apartment is well situated to the city centre and beach(es). The bath is very clean and modern. The terrace has very good sun-protection.

The mattresses are low quality. Nearby there was a train track with some trains. It didn't bother us at all because the neighboring dogs a barking competition. From the amount of barking, we assume, that there was at least 40 dogs in close proximity. They seem to have some kind of shift system, because there wasn't a single hour of silence. There is no air conditioning nor a regular fan. The air does not circulate around the apartment because the buildings around it are pretty packed. The wifi was average at best (20down 6up but inconsistent)

Die Lage ist sehr gut, Ausstattung und Sauberkeit ebenfalls. Topmodernes Apartment.

Leider hat uns das Hundeasyl im Nachbarhaus sehr gestört. Sehr häufiges Bellen und Jaulen Tag und Nacht

Abbastanza vicino al centro, raggiungibile tranquillamente a piedi.
