Hotel Lido La Perla Nera

Koselig hotell, hyggelig betjening, god frokost. Litt langt unna Stresa sentrum

The hotel was very nice and in a great, quiet location. The women at the front desk were incredibly helpful & showed us everything on a map. They spoke enough English to communicate clearly. The facility was very clean & cool with lots of marble. The rooms were roomy but we could not open the windows or bees & large flies would come in from the beautiful gardens below. A fan would have been the BEST addition to the room that became very hot down by the water. The breakfast was delicious but minimal. The town was just a 7 minute walk with lots of shops & open-air cafes & upscale restaurants. The trail along the lake was just outside hotel property & so beautiful & cool in the evenings. We chose Stresa on Lake Maggiore because an airport shuttle was available for a reasonable price. We were told exactly where to pick up the shuttle & had no problem until arriving in Stresa. It is VERY IMPORTANT to know to get off at the SECOND STOP in Stresa because the hotel is at the far end of town, right down the street toward on the lake. Our driver spoke only Italian & although we told him our hotel name, he did not indicate in any way there was a 2nd stop. As a result we had great difficulty walking up cobbled streets with our suitcases in extreme heat with no idea how to find the hotel. Overall our time in Stresa was lovely & very enjoyable. We definitely recommend Hotel Lido.

It was very convenient to Borromee Islands

A dated hotel with a demotivated staff who showed little enthusiasm for their work. For what it cost to stay I would have expected much better. The breakfast was mediocre and the waiting staff could have been from a sitcom. There was a German coach party staying and I'm guessing that the hotel caters for parties rather than individuals. The sink in our room was badly cracked and there were cobwebs on the ceiling. A sad trip back to the 80's and completely untypical of Italian quality and service.

Stayed 2 nights for a wedding on Lake Maggoire. Hotel was great but the area a little run down now the cable car has now stopped running. Boats depart directly outside the hotel for trips across the lake. 10 minute walk into Stresa - would stay again if in the area.
