A home we designed as if it were our own
Apt Rodari is in a historic building in the centre of Stresa. In 2025 we renovated it from top to bottom: wiring and plumbing, windows, bathroom, kitchen and furniture. We chose every single item ourselves, each time asking what we would like to find when we travel. That is how it got a marble bathroom with a shower you can move around in, double-glazed windows that keep the noise out and a kitchen with everything you need, right down to the first coffee of the morning.
The name pays tribute to Gianni Rodari, one of the great writers of this area. Born in 1920 in Omegna, on nearby Lake Orta, he wrote Telephone Tales and The Grammar of Fantasy, books that generations of Italian children grew up with, and he is the only Italian ever to win the Hans Christian Andersen Award. He believed imagination was everyone’s right, not just artists’, and that even mistakes, seen with a smile, could teach us something. We liked the idea of a home that carried a little of his imagination and lightness.
