Music: Jazz Evenings At Cafe Verbanella
12:22 PM |
Dana Kaplan,

Edit Post
Verbanella is located on the lake side of the Lungolago, across from the Regina Palace Hotel.
Verbanella has long been famous in Stresa for its cocktails, so I've come up with a little 'recipe' of my own. I call it 'Jazz on the Lake':
Comfortable restaurant with plenty of seating indoors and out
Unbeatable view of the sunset
Great drinks, beer, and wine
Well-priced dinner and foods
Mix all together well, pour into a tall glass, and what do you have?
Another perfect evening at Cafe Bar Verbanella.
Try one yourself soon and no doubt you'll agree.
Jazz nights are a summer tradition that continues. Check the website or walk by for the current schedule. Cafe Bar Verbanella

FYI: 3 Ways To Get Your Cardio Exercise In Stresa

Cardio! If part of your daily routine means cardio exercise, and your vacations don't mean a vacation from that, then you're probably already thinking how to exercise while you're here in Stresa. Depending on what your exercise of choice is, here are a few suggestions:
Running: Stresa's lakefront measures just about one mile from one edge to the other. The pink-paved Lungolago path runs the entire distance, and there is a bit of sidewalk continuing past that. It's flat, and wide, and you can't beat the scenery. For long-distance runners, it might become boring running back and forth along this path; once you become familiar with Stresa's streets you can cut inland and run along a parallel street, creating a loop. For those of you who like or want to run some hills, that's easy; just run inland a few streets and you'll find them.
Back on the Lungolago, while running you will notice some exercise stations that Stresa has placed along the route. If you like to interval train, these are good points to stop and do a set of pull ups or stretches.
