On the south side of the Alps, Lake Maggiore is the second largest lake in Italy. Since the climate is mild year-round, the area is filled with Mediterranean vegetation and exotic plants. Lake Maggiore was featured in Ernest Hemingway's infamous novel, A Farewell to Arms, when the protagonist and his lover must row across the lake in order to escape the Italian Carabinieri (think police in military uniforms). Here's hoping you won't have any run-ins of that nature.

Wine and delicatessen shop with tasting area. For more than 40 years we have been offering customers a selection of wines with more than 1500 labels, 350 Whiskeys and liqueurs of all kinds such as rum, gin, vodka, grappa etc .. In the shop you will also find gastronomic specialties such as extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegars from 3 to 40 years, special mustards, truffle products and much more. We organize tastings for groups or individuals.
This is a great wine and liquor store in Stresa. Reuben was very nice and accommodating. He gave our party of 4 an impromptu wine tasting. I must say he was rewarded as we purchased a lot of product including wine, balsamic, truffle butter, olive oil etc. Anyway, I highly recommend La Cambusa.

The terrace on the 7th floor of Hotel La Palma houses Sky Bar, a unique location in the area, listed among the best rooftop bars in the world (Vogue and Rooftop Guide). Here the lift opens the doors to a priceless view of Lake Maggiore and introduces you to a special place, where you can spend a few hours chatting, listening to good music and enjoying signature cocktails. You will find a charming Sky Pool, comfortable sofas, design lamps and a large gazebo to enjoy a drink in the open air. Sky Bar is also open to non-residents of the Hotel, seasonally (May-October) every day from 12:30 to 00:30. Access may be denied in case of large attendance or private events and in case of bad weather. Table reservations can be made for a minimum of 6 people. Table bookings are allowed by a minimum of 6 persons.
This is simply a great bar. Someone said it is among the top 10 rated rooftop bars. I believe it. The atmosphere, view, service and drinks are all top rate. it is not cheap, but then again you get what you pay for. This is the only place I went in Italy that understood how to serve a double Tanqueray on the rocks. But the craft cocktails that others ordered were prepared very well. If ever in Stresa you must come here for at least one drink.
