Reviews and Ratings
I couldn't have asked for a better stay. The hotel offers stunning views of Lake Maggiore and the Italian Alps from the room's terrace. The rooms were clean, comfortable, exactly as shown in the booking photos. The service was top-notch, with helpful and friendly staff ready to give great advice. The location is exceptional for a peaceful retreat and exploring Lake Maggiore and Lake Como. The dining experience was satisfactory, with a lovely lakeside breakfast despite some limitations. Overall, a fantastic experience with some room for improvement.
