Hey from Giorgia

Member since September 2018 | 13,626 hits
The "Il Folletto del lago" B&B is run by Giorgia, her husband Andrea and their little helper Leo, their baby.

The idea to undertake this activity was born from the desire to spend more time with the family and for this they have restructured the ground floor of their own home, using it as a bed and breakfast, thus combining work and housing.

Moreover, being sociable and sunny, they love being able to know and host different people in their home, while guaranteeing privacy and independence.

The answer from the host:
Thank you very much Mireille for your review, we just wanted to underline that as regards parking, already at the booking stage, it is specified that the spaces are present exclusively on public roads while for breakfast, we are sorry that you did not "find" the three types of bread, placed near the bread toaster, which we offer to our guests! Best wishes !

I won't comment on the rooms but the apartment they rent a few meters from the main house, which is very good with the garage for the car, the apartment is very good, large bedroom a good-sized living room and a large bathroom. The owners are really very nice, Giorgia took the time to show us what to do in the area the best restaurants And answer on WhatsApp for any information. The hosts are really top notch! The accommodation is located a bit uphill from Stresa in a very nice little village with its very lively bar at all hours a real place of life. The hosts had left us everything we needed for breakfast had provided us with lots of cakes, sliced bread, biscuits etc etc...and filled the fridge with yogurt ham and fruit juices and a ticket per person for each day to go eat a croissant and drink a coffee or cappuccino at the village bar which is 30 seconds walk away! The village is well located to go down to the lake and really not far by car. Great address I don't regret at all! Thanks to Giorgia and Andrea.

We chose this enchanting place to spend two days in tranquility and discover the wonders of Lake Maggiore. I must say we hit the mark! The structure is beautiful and very close to the center of Stresa and the main attractions of the area. Andrea, who welcomed us with kindness and a big smile, made us feel at home immediately. The room is a gem of elegance and hospitality, perfectly in line with the rest of the structure: small but well-kept in detail, clean and equipped with every comfort. Outside, in the beautiful season, there is a hot tub and a relaxation area with deck chairs and a lovely outdoor space. In the morning, breakfast is served in the room with fresh products and a buffet (in the room!) with anything you could desire. Upon arrival, there is a welcome drink, a kettle with tea and herbal teas, and a well-stocked mini-fridge... What more could you ask for? We were pampered and spoiled. If you want to visit Lake Maggiore, you cannot miss resting in this enchanting corner of paradise.

We stayed at the B&B Il Folletto del Lago for a week, basically our honeymoon! Giorgia and Andrea, a magnificent couple of managers and exquisite people in every way. Unfortunately, the current situation did not help them offer everything they would have liked: from the buffet breakfast to the whirlpool tub and finally the sauna, but, while respecting the rules, they pampered us from our arrival until our departure, so much so that we booked for next month! Thanks again for everything and a hug to little Leo. Good Life. Alfredo and Doriana

We were kindly welcomed by Andrea, he was waiting for us on the street. We stayed in the Guesthouse a short distance from the B&B, there was a garage where we could park our car. From the garage our luggage was brought up with the elevator really awesome. Once in the guesthouse Andreas took all the time to explain everything in the house to us. Due to Corona, there is no extensive breakfast at the B&B but we were given vouchers for breakfast in the village (very nice). We would like to highly recommend this B&B and will definitely return ourselves. Beautiful place in a lovely location with super sweet people. A solid 10.

We want to express how great we found this(URL HIDDEN) B&B to be so charming and welcoming. The room was amazing with everything so well designed. The breakfast was superb and the owners always present at your service. They are a very nice couple with their son. We recommend anyone passing by that area and that need a B&B to look them up, you'll never regret(URL HIDDEN).
