Just a lovely hotel in a beautiful place. The room was super comfortable and the staff friendly and helpful.

4.0 / 10.0

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!

8.0 / 10.0

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.

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.

10.0 / 10.0

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! .

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.

5.0 / 10.0

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.

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.

Probably the most beautiful hotel I’ve ever stayed in. The baroque decor is stunning and the views over the lake are incredible.

We had an amazing stay and our room got upgraded to a junior suite with a large balcony. We got engaged on the balcony overlooking the lake and this is trip we will always remember. Thank you!

5.0 / 10.0

Classic hotel with high class. We stayed four nights in room 201 with balcony and sea view and had a very pleasant stay. It’s only 5 min walk to Stresa centre by water line with spectacular views over the lake, island, boats and high mountains some with snow on the top. We were lucky to have 5 days with sun in the end of April, but the week before and after it rained a lot. The only distraction might be the noise from the road in front of the hotel.

10.0 / 10.0

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.

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.

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!

Very traditional and well known property in Spezia, historic. We loved the hotel, the staff and the services. The Spa is absolutely beautiful, recently renovated. The indoor pool is one of the very best I have been at.

2.0 / 10.0

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.
