Casa Diverio is an independently run aparthotel located in the heart of Stresa, just 1.8 km from the Borromean Islands, on Lake Maggiore in Piedmont.
The apartments, all air-conditioned and with independent entrances, combine the convenience of a full kitchenette, with fridge, dishwasher, hob and coffee machine, with the practicality of short or extended stays. Available types range from cosier studios to apartments with a separate bedroom and sofa bed, many featuring a balcony or terrace overlooking a quiet street in the town. Each unit includes a private bathroom with shower, bidet and hairdryer, as well as a flat-screen TV with satellite channels and free WiFi.
Among the shared facilities, an outdoor hot tub stands out, available from May to October, ideal for relaxing after a day spent along the lakefront and the islands. The central location, 550 metres from Stresa railway station, makes the property convenient both for those travelling by car and by train, and couples particularly appreciate the proximity to the historic centre and the pier.
The apartments at Casa Diverio share an essential and functional layout: independent entrance, air conditioning, a kitchenette equipped with dishwasher and coffee machine, private bathroom with bidet and shower, and satellite flat-screen TV. Sizes range from 30 to 48 square metres, suiting both couples and small groups of up to four people.
The more compact studios, between 30 and 34 sqm, are designed for two guests and alternate between a balcony or terrace overlooking a quiet street in the centre of Stresa. The larger options, such as the Standard Apartment and the Apartment with Terrace, add a separate bedroom and a sofa bed in the living room, accommodating up to three people, while the 48 sqm Apartment, the most spacious in the property, has two separate bedrooms for up to four guests.
The Standard Apartment, at 38 sqm, is among the largest options in the property and can accommodate up to three people thanks to the separate bedroom with a double bed and the living room with a sofa bed. The balcony overlooks a quiet street in the centre of Stresa, ideal for an outdoor coffee in the morning.
Identical in size and layout to the Standard Apartment, this 38 sqm unit stands out for its spacious terrace instead of a balcony, the most generous outdoor space in the property for enjoying evenings in Stresa. Here too, a separate bedroom and sofa bed allow up to three guests to stay.
The most compact of the studios, with 30 sqm laid out as a single room plus bedroom, accommodates up to two people and is the only studio with a terrace instead of a balcony, perfect for breakfast outdoors.

The largest of the single-room studios, at 34 sqm, keeps the same setup as the others, kitchenette, balcony and private bathroom, but offers a few extra square metres to move around comfortably.
Similar in size and capacity to the Standard Apartment, this 38 sqm unit differs in its balcony orientation and updated furnishings; a separate bedroom and sofa bed allow up to three guests to stay.
Although it shares the same 38 sqm size as the three-room apartments, this version is designed for only two guests, with a single large double bed: the ideal choice for those seeking more space without sharing the room with a sofa bed.
Among the most compact studios in the property, with 30 sqm and a balcony overlooking the quiet street, it is the most essential option for a couple looking for a practical pied-à-terre just steps from the lake.
Casa Diverio offers guests an outdoor hot tub, open from May to October, and a shared sun terrace where you can relax with a view over the rooftops of Stresa. The property is also accessible to guests with disabilities, with a lift to the upper floors, adapted rooms and bathrooms with safety handrails.

Casa Diverio is located on a quiet residential side street in the centre of Stresa, a few minutes’ walk from the lakefront and the pier from which boats depart for the Borromean Islands, about 1.8 km away. The neighbourhood retains a cosy atmosphere, with small local restaurants and bars such as Trattoria Due Piccioni, just 50 metres from the front door, and El Gato Negro Cafe a little further on.

There is no shortage of nearby outings: Villa Pallavicino Park, with its zoological garden, is 1.2 km away, while the Villa Taranto Botanical Gardens, among the most famous in Italy for their rhododendron and azalea blooms in spring, are about 5 km away on the opposite shore of the Borromean Gulf. Hiking enthusiasts can head to Val Grande National Park, about 9 km away, the largest wilderness area in the Italian Alps. In summer the lake is perfect for boat trips to Isola Bella and Isola dei Pescatori, while in the colder months Stresa still holds its own charm thanks to lakefront walks and the nearby Mottarone cable car.
