Nice hotel and setting but not set up to conveniently for guests
25 Dec 2025
The hotel is in a lovely setting and we had a great view of Lake Maggiore. The fixtures were nice if dated.The reasons I gave the hotel a mediocre score and would never return are1. We had a balcony but it was unusable for us because of the cigar and cigarette smoke from other rooms. All rooms have ashtrays on the balcony. Below us, the guest sat out and smoked cigars. 2. Not only do you have to put a room card in a slot by the door to have power, but it must be a room key and must be oriented just so. It took us a while to get it right. If the card is not in the slot the outlets don’t work. That means you can’t leave anything charging when you leave the room. Fortunately we had two keys and could leave one in the slot when we wanted to leave something charging.3. The bathtub with the shower was elevated, which made it hard for a short person to get into it. There was a bar to grip but it was loose!4. The closet was elevated and had those stupid hangars which are permanently attached to the bar with the actual hangars having little things to hook in. Again, difficult for a short person and hangars could only used in the closet, not, for example, to let something hang and dry on the balcony.5. No facial tissue 6. No coffee in room7. WiFi was painfully slow to the point where a short video would not play8. Insufficient wall outlets 9. No railing on stairs in stairwell

Lovely but expensive
29 Sept 2025
We had a room overlooking the car park and a busy road. This hotel charges for EVERTHING. So be prepared. You can hire a brolly for EUR2.50. Our room came with a kettle and 1 teabag each but no milk or milk powder. I asked the desk for an extra tea bag and I was sent to the bar where I was given 2 teabags, 2 empty cups and half a glass of milk, this cost me EUR5.00. The village is a 10 min walk away but does not offer a lot. Can highly recommend the pizza place. EUR25 for a large pizza. (il Portico) Rooms are clean and serviced daily. There is a water filter station in the lobby which was not working. We were given a bottle of water on day 1 but had to pay after that.

Good lake view hotel with nice gardens
16 Sept 2025
Beautiful hotel right on the lake, we stayed 4 nights on a tour.The hotel is about 10 minutes walk from town along the waterfront, so much better than the footpath by the main road because of noise and speed,The hotel is in 2 seperate buildings, one on the lake and the other behind next to the busy main road. We were in the second block but the road wasn’t a problem inside as the windows are double glazed. This is a 4 star hotel and it lives up to this but is a little let down by the service, like table was not laid for breakfast and you get the feeling the staff are a bit self important.Our room was great, huge room with 2 balconies and good lake views.Before booking check the prices as rooms can be quite expensive.

Elegant hotel on the shore of Lake Maggiore
04 Aug 2025
Superb hotel set on a small beach adjacent to Lake Maggiore. The hotel is just outside the main town of Baveno but is an easy 10 minute walk in with a supermarket en route for provisions. Our room was large with a sofa, desk and beautifully decorated in true Italian style. The bathroom was immaculately clean with easy to negotiate shower and bath. We had a pleasant balcony which again was very clean and looked side on to the Lake, but full Lake view balconies are available (assuming at an additional cost). We only ate breakfast at the hotel, but it was beautifully laid out with lots of choice. We loved our room, the grace and elegance of the hotel and would have liked to have stayed longer!

Not as Splendid as I hoped
26 Jul 2025
I'll start with tye good things: the hotel is very elegant and luxurious. Our room was OK, not the best, definitely not for the price, but it was clean abs comfortable. The hotel has a beautiful spaces outside overlooking the lake and a nice outdoor pool. The water is freezing and even on a hot day, it's quite impossible to enjoy it. We are a family with a 7 year-old and it was a mistake on our part to book this hotel. There is absolutely nothing for kids to do over there. If you are an older couple on vacation and want to relax or read and have the extra money, then you'd enjoy it. It's not for families. It's important to note that the hotel charges 20 Euros per day for parking in their own parking lot. Not 20 Euros for the entire stay, but per day I found it quite rude, which is why I chose not to pay the 5% service they add to the final bill as a non mandatory payment. On a bad weather day I asked if we could use the indoor heated pool of one of the other hotels in the same chain and they were gracious and allowed us to use it for free. We went there and tye pool was freezing cold. It was indeed indoor, but not heated, so what's the point? I also tried to book a massage at the spa and there was only one hour available the entire day. So I tried to book it for the next day, again, just one hour available during breakfast. It seemed as if they had only one massus. A hotel of such a level and quite pricey, should make more efforts to give value for money. So overall it's partly my fault that I booked it because I was excited about the private beach and the pool, which were hardly used, and especially as there are a selection of beautiful hotels in the area with better prices, but it felt that there is guest relations and they didn't care much if we're happy. Their breakfast was good and as stated, the views of the lake and the public areas beautiful and well maintained.
