📍 Address: Salita Rognoni 10, 28836 Gignese (VB)
Nestled on the green hillside above Stresa, just a 10-minute drive from the town center, our charming 1930s villa offers the ideal retreat for those who want to explore Isola Bella during the day, then return to quiet, comfort, and fresh air in the evening.
Isola Bella: A Masterpiece of Art, Gardens, and Baroque Splendor
The most iconic of the Borromean Islands, Isola Bella is a place of enchantment — with its lush Italianate gardens, theatrical fountains, flower-filled terraces, and the stunning Palazzo Borromeo, one of the most elegant noble residences in Europe.
It’s a destination to be savored slowly, not rushed — and your experience will be even richer if you begin your day from a calm and comfortable base.
Hartmann Feel at Home: The Perfect Launch Point for the Islands
Staying at Hartmann Feel at Home means waking up just 10 minutes from the ferry docks for Isola Bella, while enjoying the tranquility of Gignese, a quiet village at 700 meters above sea level.
Our home is a beautifully restored villa from the 1930s, surrounded by a private park filled with century-old trees, open-air terraces, and serene landscapes.
It’s a place where nature, culture, and relaxation meet — ideal for travelers who seek something more meaningful than just a place to sleep.
Chakra-Inspired Rooms for Real Rest and Renewal
At Hartmann, rest is not just a break — it’s part of the experience.
Each of our rooms is inspired by one of the seven chakras, designed to reflect different emotional and energetic qualities.
Natural materials, calming colors, soft fabrics, and thoughtful details create spaces that are as comforting as they are beautiful.
Every room features a private bathroom, free Wi-Fi, and views of the park or surrounding hills. Whether you’re traveling as a couple, with friends, or on your own, there’s a room that resonates with your energy and rhythm.
