Villa Aminta - Stresa, Italy 

This beautifull Hotel with it's marveleous overlooking vieuw is the best way of having a splendid holiday. And with all her luxuary inside and on all rooms, the finest food and the friendly and helpfull staff makes you never want to leave it..Therefore we choose several years to come back to this lovely Hotel. Once falling in love, you want to be back at least once a year! And every year we're surprised again because of new refinements the owner and his wife makes, all selected with fine taste, and the personal touch of the owneres. So this Hotel I would recommended to everyone who want to have a realy fantastic dream-holiday. Willy Bouw-Bianchi

Stayed recently for 5 nights; large & comfortable room with excellent food and good service from all hotel staff. The pool area is too small for the size of hotel (this can only get worse as some rooms are being refurbished and were not occupied) and is situated next to a noisy main road - made worse by the noise coming from the refurbishment/building works. The main dining room was also taken over for a wedding during our stay leaving hotel guests dining in a conference room with too few waiters.Maid service to the rooms was also unacceptably inconsistent for a 5* hotel (again under-staffing?). In conclusion I'd recommend staying at one of the more conveniently located 4* hotels in the centre of Stresa.
