"The hotel bedroom was delightful. Lovely secluded balcony and view of the lake. Pool was great as was the dining room. It would however have been good to have a kettle in the bedroom. Also perhaps in the reception area a book detailing the trips available from Stresa with train times and interesting destinations."

"The property has been updated to a very high (if slightly impractical) standard but some decisions are incongruous. The worst decision was to replace all the grass at the property with astroturf. To have plastic grass in an area of outstanding natural beauty is a crime. In room fixtures and fittings are top quality but again there are issues. The lighting controls are baffling and some come on and go off by themselves. The towels are not particularly nice (and there’s nowhere to hang wet ones), the toilet paper is of poor quality and there’s no conditioner provided. You only get 1GB of free WiFi and they won’t provide an iron for ‘security reasons’. Rip up the plastic grass and take care of a few wider issues and this place could be so much better. There is a lot of 5 star competition in the area and this currently feels more ‘Dubai’ than ‘Dolce Vita’."

"A symphony of Excellence at Regina Palace Hotel. The staff were outstanding, balancing high professionalism with a warm, friendly charm. Our room was a warm, beautifully maintained sanctuary. The attention to detail was incredible; it was spotlessly clean from the pristine windows to the gorgeous decor, with freshly changed bedding and clean towels always provided. From our lovely terrace with its breathtaking mountain view. Enjoying aperitifs there and dining from the Liberty Restaurant was pure magic. The meal was outstanding, and the service was so perfectly orchestrated it felt like a beautiful piece of music. I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough."

"We stayed here for 5 nights for our honeymoon in August. We pre-booked the spa, a cooking class, wine tasting and a cocktail masterclass. Everything exceeded our expectations. The staff were great, all very friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. They really went out of their way to make sure we had a great time. The breakfast buffet was very well stocked with delicious fruits, cheeses, meat and pastries. The views of the lake from the top floor restaurant are stunning. We ate at LeBolle twice and the food and service are both of the highest standard. We had a lovely experience at this hotel and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone visiting Stresa and Lake Maggiore."
