This was our second spring visit; the first was one year ago. It was as if twelve months could not possibly have passed when hosts David and Penny greeted us upon our arrival. Warm and welcoming, it was as if we had never been away. Was it really a year since we last enjoyed the comforts of their Annex Room?... More

I can best sum up our experience by stating that when we left, it felt like leaving home! This was one of those experiences that make you want to only stay at B&Bs. David and Penny are incredibly warm and friendly, and "La Casa" itself is delightfully tucked away in Stropino, a quick easy trip up the hill from Stresa.... More
