“Great Opulent Hotel with Traditional Italian Service”

Wow - this is an extravagantly opulent hotel in the Belle Epoch style . They have succeeded in retaining all the style & character of the 1908 hotel. Some might think it’s a bit over the top and it does overdo the silk flowers on the stairs! The hotel is immaculately decorated and maintained . The … more

Wow - this is an extravagantly opulent hotel in the Belle Epoch style . They have succeeded in retaining all the style & character of the 1908 hotel. Some might think it’s a bit over the top and it does overdo the silk flowers on the stairs! The hotel is immaculately decorated and maintained . The well equipped bedroom was smallish but had a lovely balcony overlooking the gardens and modern bathroom but unfortunately no bath . The highlight however is the stunning dining room and terrace overlooking the lake . The table settings with proper table linen, silver plated chargers, cutlery etc are gorgeous. I love the monogrammed crockery, soap , towels, sugar sachets eye etc!! The smartly attired waiters add to the traditional Italian service which was pretty good and very theatrical . The buffet breakfast was very good with and the four course dinners pretty good . Our main gripe was the main courses were a bit disappointing and often not that hot . The gardens are stunning and immaculately kept and the pool area is lovely as is the pool restaurant. Only downside is the price of the drinks but altogether a wonderful traditional hotel with all the good old fashioned attributes hard to find in the UK !! Pretty good value too

We have just spent 4 nights at Regina Palace which is an amazing hotel. I cannot fault anything, the hotel is very classy, beautifully furnished and the service we received was first class. All the staff were extremely helpful, polite and very informative. We had a lakeside view room which was lovely and serviced impeccably. We were on half board and the food was very good, beautifully served and very attentive waiting staff. The grounds are beautiful, the swimming pool and seating area very spacious. It is among one of the best hotels we have stayed in and would highly recommend it. I cannot believe it is only rated 4 star, it should be 5 star plus and I hope to return again.

“Excellent Pool Day”

We bought a day pass (10am to 6pm) for the swimming pool in the gardens.

We bought a day pass (10am to 6pm) for the swimming pool in the gardens. The pool, its facilities and the surroundings were excellent including the longest towels we've ever seen and plenty of sun loungers with umbrellas and some natural shade. We ate a decent lunch from the bar situated in the gardens which had a good range of food and drinks. The gardens themselves were beautifully looked after with frogs, fish and dragonflies visible in little ponds. The pool was never that busy on the day and time of year that we went. I'd actually score the experience a 4.5 with a slight reduction for the price which was 40 euros each, a bit expensive. Reception did offer us a deal for a week but it was our last day in Stresa.
