Modern luxury on Maggiore
Many of the hotels around the Italian Lakes have preserved the old-world opulence of yesteryear in their interiors – not this one. The façade of Hotel La Palma might look traditional, but head inside and you’ll be greeted by super sleek contemporary interiors, which beautifully frame the views of Lake Maggiore and Isola Bella.
Fancy a chilled day at the hotel? Look no further than its rooftop pool, which has a built-in whirlpool and uninterrupted views over the lake. As if that wasn’t enough, there’s also a lakefront pool edged by loungers and cushty daybeds. For even more relaxation, head to the spa, which is kitted out with a sauna, steam room, salt cabin, and multi-sensory showers. Massage and beauty treatments are also available. If that sounds too slow paced, try out the state-of-the-art gym.
The hotel’s highly rated restaurant serves an à la carte menu of Italian and international dishes, all made with fresh local ingredients. You’ll also be able to help yourself from the breakfast buffet here each morning. Elsewhere, you’ve got the Sky Bar – up on the rooftop, it serves light lunches and drinks, and makes the perfect spot for sunset.
Heading out and about? Hotel La Palma is perfectly placed. It sits in a central spot in Stresa, surrounded by well-tended gardens. It’s right on the lakeside promenade and comes with sweeping views over Lake Maggiore and the Borromean Islands. Stresa has a trio of bustling piazzas, and cute boutiques and cafés line the cobbled streets.

Find out more about Stresa
Stresa is a chic cobblestone town on the western shore of Lake Maggiore, known for its sweeping views of the lake from a wide, palm-shaded promenade. The elegant waterfront villas and a backdrop of mountains make it easy to see why it’s such a sought-after place. But the true showstoppers of Stresa lie a little offshore - the splendid Borromean Islands, where you can find lavish, tiered gardens.
