Appartamento Belvedere A is a beautifully presented, spacious apartment located in the Carciano district, about a 20 minute walk from downtown Stresa. We had a wonderful stay there and I thoroughly recommend this place. The owners are very charming people who go out of their way to make you feel welcome - on arrival we were personally shown around the apartment by the owner, Giuseppe and his daughter, and they were kind enough to arrange a very high standard taxi service to return us to Milan-Malpensa airport. Giuseppe also kindly gave us a gift when we departed of a DVD with photos from the region, which we very much appreciated. The apartment itself is in excellent condition, with spacious rooms that are thoughtfully decorated and well furnished, and a kitchen that has all that you need - this is clearly an apartment that is lovingly kept by the family. There is a large communal garden at the rear which our two young boys really enjoyed playing in - there are some toys available for children in the garden. The district of Carciano is hilly and atmospheric, with two churches and it has a small Carrefour supermarket. Giuseppe responds to e-mails very promptly and helpfully. We would definitely stay here again next time we return to Stresa.
