This was a beautiful property to stay in that overlooks Lake Maggiore. Simone and her husband are so kind and accommodating. They have an on site restaurant and we had an amazing dinner! Our room was upgraded to a larger room and it had a magnificent view and was very spacious. This was one of our best stays on our trip to Italy. Highly recommend!

Great hotel near Stresa

Very nice hotel settled in a large garden. Quiet, clean, great lake views. Breakfast was excellent too. And the staff very welcoming. If you do not mind having to take a short drive to Stresa or restaurants, this is definitely the place to stay at.

Wow! Outstanding! Simona and Alberto were amazing. This property is simply beautiful in every way. Flowers, trees, shrubbery and an amazing view of the lake right out our window and from our open air balcony. We also had a charming outdoor space for dining and/or having a drink overlooking the lake amongst the beautiful landscape. Our suite was spacious and up to date. Amenities were perfect. We rented a car and had no troubles parking at this hotel. Streets are narrow everywhere in this region, so pick a small car! Don’t rely on Apple Maps for specific directions, follow those given to you by Alberto and Simona via email. It was helpful. This location was very close to Stresa, maybe 5 minutes . We spent quite of bit of time in Stresa.

Five star

I have stayed at 5 star hotels not this nice. First class everything, furnishings,linens, service,views, the total package. Th3se people should give seminars on how to run a hotel. I have stayed at thousands of hotels, you arenot going to get better.

Bellissimo! 10/10 Simone & Alberto ♥️

What can we say? Bellissimo, meraviglioso, favoloso! Simply 10/10! From start to finish, Simone and Alberto were so welcoming and charming—the perfect hosts. Our room was lovely, and the food was just fabulous. As a coeliac, travelling can be tricky, but the team really looked after me, bringing me a separate platter of bread and toast (which was prepared separately). The choice of wine was delightful! I hope we will return as Relais Casali Della Cisterna is a very special place, and we’re so glad we were able to experience it. xx Shout out to the very sweet puppy host as well ♥️🐾

Simona and Alberto made our stay so tremendously special. The hospitality was impeccable. In all of my trips to Europe, this stay was the best. From the views to the “bed and breakfast” feel opposed to the hustle and bustle that you get from hotels, it was serene, peaceful and very cozy. We had access to the hot tub and pool overlooking the beautiful lake. A gym is made available as well. Breakfast/dinner very delicious. Simona was always available to assist us with regards to transportation. We will most certainly return. If anyone is considering stresa, skip it and come to Belgirate for a more enjoyable experience.

A Magical and Heartwarming Stay at Relais Casali della Cisterna We originally planned to stay for just one night, and ended up staying for two, simply because we couldn’t leave! Relais Casali della Cisterna is a truly special place, elegant, peaceful, and full of warmth. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with genuine kindness. The hosts, Simona and Alberto, went above and beyond to make our stay perfect, offering great local tips, and always making us feel at home. Our room was beautifully designed, spacious, and spotless, with breathtaking views of Lake Maggiore. Waking up to the view of the lake from our balcony was unforgettable. The gardens surrounding the villa are lush and peaceful, perfect for relaxing walks or a quiet coffee in the morning sun. Breakfast was excellent, fresh pastries, fruit, local cheeses, and eggs made to order. It’s one of those places where every detail feels cared for. The location is also great, just a few minutes’ drive from Stresa and Belgirate, close enough to explore but quiet enough to feel completely away from it all. We’ve stayed in many places across Europe, but this one really stands out for its charm, authenticity, and the warmth of its hosts. We left with a full heart and wonderful memories. Highly recommended, and we’ll definitely be back!

3 jours merveilleux

Dès l'arrivée, dans notre suite, j'ai été été époustouflé par la vue magnifique sur le lac Majeur. Cet endroit est paradisiaque et calme. Je n'ai pas relevé de fautes de goût. La literie est magique. Le couple Alberto et Simona qui gère cet établissement est tout simplement fantastique. Simona parle parfaitement le français et donne de très bons conseils sur la région et les sites touristiques à visiter. J'ai adoré profiter du balcon privatif avec vue à 180° sur le lac.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this incredible hotel during our trip to Italy, and it was truly a memorable experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that made us feel right at home. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the breathtaking view of the lake from our room. Waking up to such a picturesque sight each morning was nothing short of magical, and it truly enhanced our overall experience. Not only was the accommodation itself top-notch, but the food was also exceptional. Every meal, from the delicious breakfast spread to the homemade lasagne, was a culinary delight. It was evident that a lot of care and attention went into preparing each dish, and it definitely added to the overall enjoyment of our trip. Overall, our stay at this hotel was nothing short of perfection. The combination of impeccable service, stunning views, and mouthwatering food made it an experience that we will never forget. Thank you to the staff for making our trip to Italy truly special.
