Booked a 2 night stay in this hotel and were not able to stay longer than a couple hours. Checked in and were told nothing about the town, the breakfast, basically just given a key. Room was very very tiny, had no balcony and the one window looked at the side of another building. The carpet was at least 40... More

Truly Italian with a glorious position directly on the lake and the magnificent ferry service. These are two adjacent buildings. We stayed in the Speranza, but the restaurant is in the Milan. Food is truly delicious and plentiful. Waiters are really good fun. Also partner to the magnifiucent Regina Palace a few humdred yards away when the pool is available... More

What a super location right on Lake Maggiore in the middle of the town of Stressa. Hotel had excellent food, great service, the staff was friendly and you could use the pool and facilities at the Regina Palace (5 STARS!!!) right down the street. We were on a Cosmos tour and this was our favorite hotel. It is so convenient... More

We visited this hotel as a coach party (24-29 September 2011) with Edwards Coaches, South Wales, UK. We couldn't have been happier with the service and care shown to us this week. Some members of our party were vegetarians, and they were given the utmost care and consideration possible to ensure that they enjoyed their stay. Ourselves, we had adjoining... More

We were upgraded to a lake view room this trip, and agree now that it's well worth paying the extra. The hotel is old but the dinners are excellent (breakfast is continental). If you don't like the bed, complain: they changed ours. Make use of the facilities at the nearby Regina Palace. It's not the best hotel in Stresa but... More

The staff at the Hotel Speranza Au Lac are great and make you feel very welcome. We stayed in the Speranza side of the hotel and yes, the beds could be a bit more comfortable but otherwise we were satisfied with our room which was kept very clean throughout our stay. We ate in the dining room of the Au... More

This hotel was very central with one of the best views on the lake at Stresa. We booked directly with the hotel and were delighted with the location. Located right on the water with views over the lake. Directly accross from the ferry terminal and a 10 min walk from the station. The hotel was quaint, maybe the furnishings a... More
