Hi from Gisella!

Stresa is an elegant and charming town on Lake Maggiore, full of luxurious hotels, period buildings and beautiful Art Nouveau villas. It is very pleasant to take a walk along the lakeside promenade among flower gardens and small restaurants. The small historic city center is very picturesque, with nineteenth century buildings, terraces full of flowers and the cozy home of Gisella, our Cesarina. We could say that Gisella was 'born in a hotel.' She lived in one until she was 12 years old. In her family’s hotel, she would prepare a snack in the restaurant, eat in the dining room and was prepared simple desserts by the staff. Her passion for the culinary arts was nurtured in this environment, and now she’s a Cesarina!

It was a great day of cooking, eating and enjoying the friendship of our hosts. Giselle’s husband (Marco) joined us for the meal and we could have ended up there for several more hours. Anyone in Stresa should do this.

Grisella was fantastic. She taught us how to make spinach spaghetti from scratch. The dinner included spaghetti ,fish, meat and wine. She was very friendly We would definitely do it again. There were 5 of us. She was very accommodating.

What a great experience! Fantastic cooking from a warm and inviting host. It was great to hear about Gisella's additional career as a journalist photographer and get some expert pictures taken by her!

Gisella was so accommodating to our dietary needs and patient when our little one had a melt down. So grateful for her opening her home to share food with us.
