The accommodation is very centrally located, city center and lake are reachable in a few minutes on foot. Rooms lovingly furnished, quiet, large and very clean. Marisa is very friendly and helpful (she covered our bikes in the courtyard with plastic so they wouldn't get wet from the rain), got information about good restaurants. Anytime again.

The room is well furnished, clean and welcoming. However, it is advertised as a Bed&Breakfast but it is just a BED. For the price they charge for the room, they could have provided a coffee and a croissant.

Buongiorno, La ringrazio per la Sua recensione, ma vorrei farle presente che la struttura è pubblicata sul portale che si chiama bed-and-breakfast.it ma non mi propongo come tale, la struttura è descritta, sia sul portale che sul sito come affittacamere ed è evidenziato in maniera chiara che si offre solo il pernottamento. Mi dispiace per l'equivoco e spero comunque che vi siate trovati bene. Cordiali saluti Marisa

This was one of my favourite B&Bs. The room was clean and easily accessible up a flight of stairs. It was comfortable, with enough room for luggage and a good sized bathroom. The location was perfect. Literally only 5 minute walk to the lakeside boardwalk and the boat booking office. In less than 5 minutes there were at least 3 or 4 little cafes that offered breakfasts. So you can sit on a patio and enjoy the morning sun with your breakfast. In the other direction after a few minutes you are in the main town square with a great choice of many good restaurants for dinner or lunch. The host was in her office most mornings and was always very helpful and friendly. I highly recommend staying here.

We felt very comfortable and absolutely missed nothing! The small B&B is centrally located yet quiet in a side street near the lakeside, where there is also a large parking lot. All localities are reachable within a few minutes. Everything was spotlessly clean, the room was also very tastefully and practically furnished. The double bed was large and comfortable, there was a desk and a small refrigerator, and the small stylish bathroom even had a bidet. We found the owner Marisa to be a very friendly, empathetic, and interested host, which is why we can recommend the accommodation with a clear conscience. Note: Communication took place in English.

The mattresses were so springy that the other one vibrated. The bed creaked loudly with every movement, and the lower floor felt everything. The price did NOT match what was offered.

Al San Michele is a gem of a guesthouse in a tranquil setting. The bedroom and facilities were excellent. Marisa was a wonderful and knowledgeable host who was able to provide excellent recommendations for places to eat and visit. I would thoroughly recommend a stay at Al San Michele for anyone visiting Stresa.

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.

We stayed for three nights. The room recently renovated, very cozy and clean. The central location in the town is convenient to make the most of the services offered by the activities and the embarkation for the visit to the beautiful islands. Mrs. Marisa always kind and very helpful, made us feel at home. Very positive and appreciated holiday. Structure to recommend.
