The Grand Hotel Bristol commands immediate attention as you walk along the flower-bordered lakefront of Stresa on Lake Maggiore. Its neo-classical design — featuring Candoglia marble, antique carpets and crystal chandeliers — carries a romantic grandeur that feels timeless, and its rooms offer views of the lake or mountains, with some including private balconies. The setting alone makes this a compelling base for a Lake Maggiore golf holiday.
The highly recommended Baveno restaurant is on site, and a stroll along the lakeside esplanade opens up further choices for dining in the evening. Indoor and outdoor swimming pools, along with wellness facilities, are available for days away from the course. The overall atmosphere at the hotel is one of elegant relaxation — ideal for unwinding properly between rounds.
Iles Borromees golf club is the closest course, within a short distance of the hotel, while Bogogno and Castelconturbia — two of northern Italy’s most celebrated parkland layouts — are also within easy reach. Together these courses offer golfers on an Italy golf break from Stresa a strong and varied programme. Private airport and golf transfers can be arranged, making this a seamlessly organised base for a tailor-made Italy golf package.
