B&B Il Poggiolo is a family-run property located on the hills of Stresa, in Piedmont, about 3 km uphill from the historic centre and a short walk from the shores of Lake Maggiore. The panoramic location gives the rooms views over the lake, garden and surroundings, making this B&B a particularly popular choice for those seeking tranquillity without giving up proximity to the lake.
The two room types available, both with independent entrance, air conditioning, private terrace and bathroom with shower, differ mainly in size and capacity: from the more compact double room to the quadruple room spread over two levels, designed for families or small groups. The common areas include a garden, a sun terrace and a picnic area with outdoor furniture, ideal for enjoying the view in complete relaxation.
Breakfast, served every morning in continental, Italian and buffet style, is one of the elements most appreciated by guests, who describe it as generous and carefully prepared. Free WiFi, free parking and a bicycle storage room complete an offer designed for a comfortable stay, just steps from the Borromean Islands and the main points of interest on Lake Maggiore.
B&B Il Poggiolo offers two room types, both featuring an independent entrance, air conditioning and private bathroom with shower: a choice designed to guarantee guests independence and privacy during their stay. Each room also has its own terrace overlooking the lake, a detail that makes the experience particularly enjoyable in the warmer months, when it is possible to have breakfast or relax outdoors while admiring the view over Lake Maggiore and the surrounding garden.
The Double Room with Lake View, 25 sqm, is designed for two people and offers a large double bed in a compact yet well-kept space. The Quadruple Room on 2 Levels, much larger at 45 sqm, spans two floors and can accommodate up to four people, making it ideal for families or groups of friends who want to share the same accommodation while keeping separate spaces. Both room types include a flat-screen TV and wide views over the garden and lake.
A 25 sqm double room with independent entrance and private terrace overlooking Lake Maggiore, the most compact and cosy of the two room types. Equipped with air conditioning and a private bathroom with shower, it is designed for two people seeking a peaceful retreat with a direct lake view from their own terrace.
With its 45 sqm spread over two levels, this is the most spacious room in the property, almost double the size of the Double Room, and the only one designed to accommodate up to four guests. Here too you’ll find a terrace with lake view, independent entrance and private bathroom with shower, in a space suited to families or small groups.
B&B Il Poggiolo offers guests well-kept outdoor spaces, including a garden, a sun terrace and a picnic area with outdoor furniture, ideal for enjoying sunny days on the hills of Stresa. WiFi is free throughout the property, while those travelling by car can rely on free parking, a benefit that is not a given in this area of Lake Maggiore.
The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, flat-screen TV and private bathroom with shower, as well as a refrigerator and a kettle for tea and coffee, allowing a certain degree of independence during the stay. Attention to detail is also present, with complimentary toiletries, a hairdryer and bed linen provided in every room.
Breakfast, served every morning in continental, Italian and buffet style, is among the most frequently mentioned strengths by guests. For those travelling by bicycle, a bicycle storage room is available, while the entire property is non-smoking, ensuring a clean and orderly environment throughout.
B&B Il Poggiolo is located on the hills overlooking Stresa, in a panoramic position about 3 km uphill from the historic centre of the town on Lake Maggiore. The area is residential and quiet, surrounded by greenery, with views ranging from the property’s garden to the waters of the lake, in a setting far from the traffic and bustle of the lakefront.
To reach the centre of Stresa and its attractions, you need to head down towards the lake: Stresa railway station is about 1.5 km away, while Baveno station is 2.6 km away. Those arriving by car will find the property’s free parking convenient, given the uphill distances. Milan Malpensa Airport is about 30 km away, just under an hour’s drive, while the Borromean Islands can be reached in a few minutes from Stresa’s harbour. Nearby, there are a few dining options, such as the restaurants Al Rustico and Cardini, both about 100 metres away.
Stresa is an ideal base for exploring Lake Maggiore in every season: in summer you can visit the Borromean Islands, with Isola Bella and Isola dei Pescatori, or relax at the Lido Beach Club in Baveno, 3 km away. Parco Villa Pallavicino, 3.3 km away, features a zoological garden suitable for families, while the Villa Taranto Botanical Gardens, about 6 km away, offer spectacular blooms between spring and summer. For those who love wilder nature, Valgrande National Park is about 8 km away and is a popular destination for hikes through woods and less-travelled trails.
Reviews particularly praise the cleanliness and friendliness of the staff, both close to the maximum score. The comfort of the rooms and value for money are also highly appreciated. The location, though panoramic, receives a slightly lower score due to the uphill distance from the centre of Stresa.
