Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers stunning lake views but falls short with outdated rooms and lack of modern amenities. While the location is magical right by the lake, the dining experience leaves much to be desired with limited options.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms with a quiet and comfortable atmosphere. The staff is friendly and helpful, but there were a few issues with service. The location is excellent, overlooking the beautiful lake Maggiore, and close to dining options and the ferry terminal.
The hotel offers stunning views over the lake from lovely rooms with excellent facilities, but the dining experience may leave something to be desired despite the beautiful surroundings. The friendly service and great location make up for it, giving good value for money.
I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel's lovely balcony offering an amazing view of the lake, but the room was small and the bathroom could have been more spacious. The hotel lacks modern amenities like free bottled water and dry-cleaning services, all in a supposedly 4-star establishment.
