They say that few things in life are as beautiful as in a touched-up Photograph. For some places, you don't get the chance to see the photograph to find out.

On the plus side it has a magnificent location on Lake Como opposite the Bordescean Islands Isola Bella, Isola Madre). On the minus side the main road runs along the lakeside and this can be an inconvenience. There is adequate shopping with a supermarket at the back of the main square for essentials and some very upmarket shops for those little luxuries. Stressa is best as a base rather than a resort.
