Le Camere Della Vecchia Osteria is located on Largo della Minola, in a quiet residential area of Stresa, just steps from the historic centre and the lakeside promenade from which boats depart for the Borromean Islands. The neighbourhood alternates small stone houses and private gardens, offering a more secluded setting compared to the central streets, which are crowded with tourists during high season.
Stresa railway station is about 1.6 km away, while Baveno station is 2.4 km away; both provide quick connections to the Milan-Domodossola line. The Borromean Islands can be reached in a few minutes by boat from the town’s ferry pier, about 2.6 km from the property. Those arriving by plane can use Milan Malpensa Airport, about 30 km away, or Milan Linate Airport, which is farther. Several restaurants within walking distance can be found nearby, such as Cardini just 50 metres away and Al Rustico at 200 metres.
Stresa is an ideal base for exploring Lake Maggiore in every season: in spring and summer, visitors can explore the botanical gardens of Villa Taranto, 6 km away, and Villa Pallavicino Park, 3.4 km away, with its animals and English-style gardens; lovers of wilder nature can venture as far as Valgrande National Park, 8 km away, among the largest wilderness areas in Europe. In autumn and winter the area becomes quieter, perfect for walks along the lake and off-season visits to the Borromean Islands, less crowded than during the summer months.
Guests particularly praise the staff’s hospitality, rated 9.5, and the cleanliness of the rooms, 9.2. The location is also highly appreciated, 9.1, ideal for couples seeking tranquillity near the lake.
