Hotel Residence La Luna Nel Porto

As the last stop on a 3 week vacation thru Europe, we could not have stayed at a nicer hotel. This charming gem right across the street from Lake Maggiore was impeccable in every way. Our room, actually a beautiful 3-room suite facing the water was within an arms reach to restaurants, shops and bakeries. The staff that run the hotel, were lovely young women who were as personable as you can get. Caterina, Elena and Alessia were not only helpful, but made certain that we had everything we needed at a moments notice. We had a beautiful living room/kitchen, bathroom and a very spacious bedroom. Step onto the large balcony and there were lounge chairs, tables and plenty of space to relax and enjoy the gorgeous view of Lake Maggiore.||We opted for breakfast on our first morning and what we got could have fed 4 people. It was amazing. Perfectly curated and delivered to our room, well we couldn't have asked for a better welcome to this lovely little city. ||We definitely plan on visiting Stresa again and without a doubt will be staying at this sweet and charming hotel.

Clean, quiet and charming. On our Italian trip I got a cold so my sister and I needed to have separate accommodation rather than the two bedroom place that we had intended on sharing. I am so glad that the La Luna was able to accommodate us. It has the bones of an old hotel with huge windows and high ceilings (I would love to see how it was originally decorated - it had had an 80"s redo). Our ground floor rooms had doors that opened onto grass patios. The views over the lake were amazing - we were there for thunder, lightning and rain - watching it come in over the lake was unbelievable as were the rainbows afterward. The heat was not yet on for the season (this was true for everywhere we stayed - it is not turned on until November 1 ) so they provided dimplex heaters. There are washers and dryers available. Breakfast was an extra cost and it was very good. And there was an additional cost for using the kitchens in the rooms. The staff were pleasant, efficient and helpful. The hotel is across the street from Lake Maggiore which is such a beautiful lake. The hotel is located up the street from the main shopping area of Stresa which is an absolutely charming village. It is also located up the street from the ferry dock. The ferry takes one to the lovely little islands in the lake. I wish I could figure out an easy way to get from my home on the west coast of Canada to Stresa and the La Luna because it would be my go to summer place if I could!!

I would like to leave my review. My husband and I stayed at this hotel in July 2025. We really liked the hotel itself. Small but clean, Everything is done with taste and Italian charm. The staff - two girls at the reception are very polite, cheerful, communication skills at the highest level☺️☺️We were given a room on the first floor,Well, a very large room. Hall, bedroom and shower room, but the highlight was the courtyard With a view of the lake❤️❤️ Very nice and delicious breakfasts in the room) quiet, no noise. We needed an iron, so the girls gladly give it and the ironing board. We really liked everything, I hope we will come back in a couple of weeks and stay at this hotel again. Highly recommend 👍👍👍

My family enjoyed our stay very much! We found the service to be wonderful. Alicia, Juliano and Mario were all so attentive. We got great advice on getting a boat across to Isola Dei Pescatori which was so charming, and help with dinner reservations at Osteria Mercato. Highly recommend!

My wife was attending a meeting down the lake, but after doing some research, we decide we wanted to stay in Stresa. I found all of the excellent TA reviews of this hotel and their reasonable rates and booked it. We spent an excellent week here. Our room (105) is the one with the balcony that is the roof of the ground floor. It is huge and a great place to have your coffee in the morning or a drink at night while looking at the stars. In fact, our view of the lake from this room is one of the best views we have had anywhere. The room is spacious and has a kitchenette, which was great to have. All of the staff were friendly and quite helpful in booking tours, etc. I highly recommend this hotel if you are in Stresa.

This was our sixth (I think: I'm beginning to lose count) visit to la Luna nel Porto which is itself indicative of our opinion of its quality. The unparalleled views, combined with the peace and quiet and the spaciousness of the well-appointed apartments, make for an unbeatable combination for a perfect break. There have been a couple of changes of ownership over the years we have been visiting Stresa and the current team are clearly committed to maintaining and exceeding the excellent standards of the previous owners. Stresa itself retains its charm, bustling but not too overcrowded in summer and the hotel is at the quiet end of town, so remains undisturbed. It is a good base for exploring the lake by ferry: the terminal is just two minutes’ walk from the hotel. The hotel itself is raised up and set back slightly from road below and there is no noticeable noise. We loved relaxing on the terrace of our garden apartment this year and think this might be our favourite, but all the lake view apartments are wonderful and have the same spectacular view. Thank you to Alessia, Elena and Caterina and we are already looking forward to our next visit!

Hotel Residence La Luna Nel Porto is just fantastic overlooking Lake Maggiore located within sight of the ferry terminal and just a few minutes walk into the lovely town.||Our check in was flawless, coffee and biscuits on arrival then promptly to our Lake View Apartment which was spacious incorporating an extensive kitchen facility, fridge, large lounge area, substantial bedroom with double bed and roomy bathroom. We had a choice of three balconies with chairs/table, access to TV, plenty of storage and hanging space, safe and an extensive range of crockery, cutlery, kettle and kitchen utensils. The entire apartment decorated in vibrant but relaxing colours.||Well furnished throughout with sofas and armchair and a small desk with chair in the bedroom. The bathroom is large with toilet and bidet, large washbasin and small walk in shower. Bathrobes, plentiful towelling, slippers and toiletries complete the provision. Housekeeping and cleanliness outstanding. A laundry room is available for a small charge.||Breakfast is taken in a bright and airy room near reception or on the patio (weather permitting) and although perhaps more continental for the English palate is nevertheless high quality, varied and substantial. Complimented by a range of cereals, egg dishes cooked to order and hot beverages and fresh orange juice from a blender.||The whole place is managed and organised by Elena, Katerine and Allesia who are all just brilliant, helpful, informative and enthusiastic. A truly fabulous stay and do not be put off at first sight when you pull up at the petrol station below once on the upper terrace you will fully appreciate the splendour of the place. The lift ride to the hotel terrace is novel as you have to keep the lift button pressed for the ascent.||Sheer joy throughout our stay in Stresa and La Luna Nel Porto.

Review of Hotel and Residenza La  with microwave and a dishwasher, a large bathroom with twin vanity basins, a large living area, and an enormous bedroom with a queen-sized bed. Both the living area and the bedroom have French doors, opening to the terrace and shutters to keep the rooms dark at night. The suites also have a double sofa bed and an extra pull-down bed so they can accommodate 5 people.||The cooking facilities in theit hen are only available for stays of 5 days orore or by previous arrangement||Breakfast is optional or you can have a ontinental breakfast for €5  or a full breakfast for €20.||Laundry facilities are available at a cost of €10 per wash and dry.||The residence is 10 meters from a service station, 20 meters from the nearest restaurant, 150 meters to the ferry terminal and the bus stop. Opposite the ferry terminal is the shopping district. A Carrefours supermarket is there servicing the town. The railway station is one kilometer away, probably a bit too far to wheel your luggage if you are 80, like me.||The season finishes at the end of October and opens again for Christmas and again in April. I highly recommend this residence; the staff looking after you are excellent. Alessia, Elena and Caterina were fabulous.||My wife and I loved this place.|Away from the noise of the town centre but still very close to everything.|Have no hesitation in booking.

What a beautiful setting! The staff were very polite and professional and the property is so lovely. This was a special night for our family so we splurged on the Lake View Suite @ €340 - Room 311 - gorgeous!! and spacious. Staff left us some snacks and a bottle of wine. Very close to shops & restaurants. We skipped the breakfast, although the setting looked beautiful - went to "il Gigi bar" just up the street for croissants and coffee (€8,70 for three of us). Ahhh, the good life!
