Sempione Boutique Hotel is a 4-star property in the centre of Stresa, 1.8 km from the Borromean Islands, overlooking the shores of Lake Maggiore. The building, on Corso Italia, combines the intimate atmosphere of a boutique hotel with the services typical of a larger property, offering a terrace, common lounge and indoor bar for guests.
The eight room types range from the compact 10 sqm Single Room to the 1-Bedroom Suite and the Deluxe Double Room, both 31 sqm, with options featuring lake views, a balcony or a terrace along the way. All rooms are air-conditioned and equipped with a minibar, coffee machine, safe and flat-screen TV, with a private bathroom in every room.
The location is among the most appreciated features: restaurants such as Il Clandestino and La Rosa dei Venti are just a few metres away, Stresa’s railway station can be reached on foot in a few minutes, and the pier for the lake islands is very close by. Staff also arrange a shuttle service on request, useful for guests arriving without their own car.
The rooms at Sempione Boutique Hotel share a common base of air conditioning, private bathroom, minibar, coffee machine, safe and flat-screen TV with satellite channels, plus an electric kettle and a wardrobe in every room. The main differences lie in size, ranging from the 10 sqm Single Room to the 31 sqm of the larger options, and in the outlook: several room types enjoy views over Lake Maggiore, while others open onto a quiet inner courtyard.
Those looking for more space can choose between the Junior Suite and the 1-Bedroom Suite, both with a separate sleeping area and a bathroom with a walk-in shower at floor level, or the Deluxe Double Room with a walk-in shower. For short stays or solo travellers, the Single Room and the Studio offer more compact solutions that still include every essential comfort, with a terrace or courtyard view depending on the chosen type.

Sempione Boutique Hotel occupies a building on Corso Italia, the main street running through Stresa’s historic centre, just steps from the lakefront promenade from which boats depart for the Borromean Islands. The area is largely pedestrian, with shops, ice cream parlours and restaurants keeping the streets lively until the evening, retaining the elegant character that has made Stresa one of the best-known destinations on Lake Maggiore since the 19th century.
Stresa’s railway station is about 800 metres away, while Baveno’s station is 4.2 km away. Milan Malpensa Airport is around 29 km away, convenient for those arriving by car or private transfer, while Milan Linate is further, at 72 km. The pier for the Borromean Islands, including Isola Bella and Isola dei Pescatori, is just 1.8 km away and easily reached on foot along the lakefront promenade.
Guests will find numerous restaurants within a few dozen metres, including Il Clandestino and La Rosa dei Venti, both about 30-50 metres from the property. A little over a kilometre away is Villa Pallavicino Park, with its gardens and free-roaming animals, while the Villa Taranto Botanical Gardens, among the most celebrated in Italy, are about 5 km away. In summer the lake is ideal for boat trips and walks along the promenade, while in winter the proximity to Val Grande National Park, 9 km away, offers opportunities for more demanding excursions through the surrounding woods and alpine valleys.
Reviews particularly praise the staff and the location, both rated almost at the top of the scale. Room comfort and cleanliness are also highly appreciated, while the value-for-money score, although still high, is the relatively lowest-rated category overall.
