Hello, I am Marisa,
after having had a family run business of a restaurant in the historical square of Stresa, I renovated this house between 2020 and 2021 to make
a comfortable informal environment, so that people feel at home.
I like to get to know my guests and if they wish, I’m pleased to offer advice on places to visit, restaurants and various activities that our area offers, between Lakes Maggiore, Mergozzo and Orta to Mottarone and the Ossola Valley which make our territory one the most desirable in the world.
It is to my satisfaction to render your stay in my house a lovely memory.

Area city center
"AL SAN MICHELE" is in a very peacful corner of Stresa yet close to the historical centre to discover our lakes and mountains which make our area one of the most beautiful destinations of the world.
A short walk away are the beaches, the shops, restaurants and all the services, including the Boat Station where boats depart for the famous Borromean Islands, the Monastery of Santa Caterina del Sasso and other areas of the lake, such as Verbania Intra with the Villa Taranto and its English style park and as far as Ascona and Locarno in Switzerland.
A pleasant walk takes you to the Villa Pallavicino surrounded by a magnificent park with many animals.
The surroundings offer also some routes for bike lovers and footpaths for pleasant excursions.
From Stresa you can reach the Lakes of Mergozzo and Orta with it’s fascinating Island of San Giulio.
You can also go to Mottarone, the mountain above Stresa, from where you can see a fantastic panorama over seven lakes and enjoy a ride on the track of Alpyland.
On the way to Mottarone you can stop off to visit the Alpinia Garden, 40. 000 sq meters of a natural balcony where a relaxing rest offers a view over Lake Maggiore and observing many alpine plants including blue gentians and to quench one’s thirst at the mountain spring available by the garden.
All around, the Ossola Valleys, offer a variety of itineraries to mountain enthusiasts with walks on footpaths which climb into an uncontaminated area of nature which dominate the entire territory, with Macugnaga and the imposing east Himalayan wall of Monte Rosa, the Valley Formazza with the spectacular waterfall of the Toce river and the Thermal Springs of Premia, the Valley Vigezzo knows as the valley of painters for the many landscape artists and portaiture, the National Park of Val Grande, wild and rugged in which is located the Mother Quarry of the Milan Cathedral at Candoglia, the Natural Parks of Alpe Veglia e Devero and upper Valle Antrona.
A great excursion to make is the “Lago Maggiore Express”, a daily circular journey, which can he made in both drections by boat on Lake Maggiore and train through the Centovalli and the Valley Vigezzo.
From Verbania Intra you can reach by the boat Luino, where there is a nice market on Wednesdays a magnet for many tourists.
In addition, the Associazione Settimane Musicali di Stresa organises every year, between July, August and September, the “Stresa Festival” offering musical events of high artistic value in many different prestigious locations.

The guest house is located in a strategic area, very close to the docks and the lakeside with several bars where you can have breakfast (although the one recommended by them was excellent). It is central but without the hassle of the center. Brand new room, impeccable cleanliness, spacious bathroom with comfortable shower and hairdryer. Small terrace and courtesy set with water, herbal teas, biscuits. Marisa is a very kind host. I will come back.

Everything was perfect. This is a little gem. Clean rooms, lovely bed, and Marisa was so kind. The accommodation is in the center of the village and only has 4 rooms, all of which are nice. So quiet, no traffic. We only stayed 4 days and wish it was longer. Thank you so much Marisa. Al San Michele.

Marisa is a very friendly and helpful hostess. From arrival to departure everything went great, we received a door code and the remaining information via email, so we entered our room without any problems, where there were already 2 bottles of water, some snacks, tea, coffee, milk, sugar and there was also a kettle. The room and the bathroom are spacious, tastefully decorated, everything still almost new and above all very clean. It was perfectly cleaned every day by a super nice cleaning lady. The location is absolutely top, right in the center and just a few steps to the lake. We were guests for 5 days, with enough storage space for our clothes and the rest of the things we carry around. We had room number 4 and can recommend it without reservation.

The structure has recently been renovated. It is a very beautiful building next to the church of San Michele, a stone's throw from the lake and the center. Inside everything is new, tidy, and clean. Marisa is a very welcoming and generous person. It was a truly pleasant stay. We will return to Marisa, it is our desire.
