A spacious home, made for being together
Apt Hemingway is the most spacious of our apartments: 55 m² on the first floor of a historic building, renovated from top to bottom in 2026 and fully electric. The heart of the home is a large, bright open-plan space where the living area and kitchen come together: here you’ll find a sofa bed with a generous mattress, as comfortable as a real bed, and a desk in the corner for working or catching up on things in peace.
The bedroom opens onto a small balcony with a table and chairs, overlooking the pedestrian area of the old town. There are two bathrooms: a marble one with a large shower and a second one with washbasin and WC, a convenience you’ll appreciate straight away when travelling as four.
The name pays tribute to Ernest Hemingway. He came to Stresa in September 1918, aged 19, to recover from a war wound, and fell in love with the view of the Borromean Islands. He stayed at the Grand Hotel des Iles Borromées, where he set part of A Farewell to Arms, and to this day the hotel’s finest suite bears his name: the Hemingway Suite.
