One evening will be dedicated to a concert by young pianists following a master class; there is a project involving a resident artiste, a choice of early music ensembles using authentic antique instruments and, of course, a jazz week in July – all events not to be missed.



Borromeo Islands

Stresa, a delightful little capital on the shores of Lake Maggiore, overlooking the splendid Gulf of the Borromean Islands, is located on the slopes of the Mottarone, in a spectacular panorama between water and mountains. Renowned throughout the world, it is a prestigious place to stay for elite tourists and business customers, an authentic jewel with a high-level cultural and artistic life. It is a centre of international meetings and events, sports competitions and prestigious cultural and artistic initiatives. Favourite city of the king of Wurttemberg, the sovereigns of England, Elisabeth of Saxony and artists and academics, it was praised by Dickens, Flaubert and Fogazzaro.



Mountains and panoramic visits

In the immediate vicinity of the Hotel, we advise our guests to visit the Mottarone, about 25 minutes by car from the hotel, or 15 minutes by cable car, ideal for walking and mountain enthusiasts. At 1,497 m of altitude, from its summits you can enjoy the view of the six lakes in the Po Valley, of the Italian and Swiss Alps and of the majestic Monte Rosa. The peak, also equipped for winter sports, can be reached by cable car or by car along “The Borromea”, a scenic route taking you through torrents, centuries-old woods and soft meadows. The Mottarone rises between the Maggiore and Orta lakes, between the provinces of Verbania and Novara. From the summit, the view stretches from the Maritime Alps to Monviso, from the nearest Monte Rosa massif to the Swiss Alps, up to the Po Valley.

Art, history and culture

Do not miss a visit to the majestic and impressive Sanctuary of Santa Caterina del Sasso, an hour by car or 15 minutes by boat from Stresa, built on the cliff top overlooking the lake, framed by a mystical and captivating landscape of rare beauty. Located on the Lombardy side of Lake Maggiore, it was built in the twelfth century by Alberto Besozzi from Besozzo, a merchant who later retired there for life, becoming a hermit.
