"Fantastic stay! Stunning property and in an excellent location. Our room was the Mountain View and it was everything we needed. The hotel itself is great to explore and the pool/beach area was perfect for a dip. It is worth noting here that the lake pontoon sunbathing area is only for paying guests and the front sunbathing areas are reserved for the suite rooms. Other than that, there was plenty of space available and a dip in the lake is a must! Would definitely recommend this hotel and will hopefully be visiting again at some point in the future!"

"Idyllic hotel in the middle of Baveno. From arrival all staff were friendly and welcoming. The hotel was spotlessly clean. The facilities were lovely and you can also use the shared facilities at the Grand Dino Hotel. Perfect for a retreat by Lake Maggorie. I would definitely return and recommend. Only feedback I’d give to the hotel is our room did not have a full length mirror which I would have liked."

"Great hotel with great links if you want to travel around the lake by boat...the ferry dock is about 2 minutes from the front door. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good choice of food for breakfast. Also good that you can use the outdoor pool at a nearby hotel. One thing to be mindful of is that it is about 20 minutes walk to the main town centre of Stresa"
