Beautiful location! Clean room. Great breakfast. Dinner was also good.
Negative: fridge in room didn’t work which spoiled some food. Could use some decor upgrades.
Our lake view was magnificent. Well worth the extra charge. The restaurant was top notch, gourmet. Wine selection was excellent. Continental Breakfast was very good. Staff was polite and helpful. Location to visit the sites and grab the ferries was Ok. Beautiful area. Not crowded.
The location of this hotel is fantastic right on the lake front with a lovely pool and sunbathing area with steps to swim in beautiful lake Orta. The restaurant is very good and busy so the noise from the restaurant may be disturbing but we were ok with the balcony door to our room shut.
A lovely hotel situated right on Lake Orta. Room had a balcony. Breakfast was plentiful. Had dinner at restaurant that overlooks lake. The food was delicious. Pool area is gorgeous. Staff very helpful. Good location to drive to San Guilia
We had a wonderful 3-night stay at this charming hotel. The lakeside position is fantastic - it’s definitely worth paying more to get a lake view room. The room was quiet & clean with a comfortable bed and good linen - I think a proper feather duvet. We had a small balcony which was good for reading. The roof-top bar served pizza and light meals. We dined in the smart restaurant one evening - expensive but a lovely treat. The staff were very polite and friendly. Parking free in the hotel car park. The pool was closed for our visit (mid-May) but there were convenient steps down into the lake for some invigorating swims. I highly recommend this hotel.
Really nice hotel and a lovely deluxe room, with a balcony right on the lake. Breakfast is great, with good quality products - however, it's the same every day. Would be nice with some changes during the week.
Great 'beach'-area and a completely new swimming pool. We will be back! :-)

Amazing location and pool makes the room bearable
The location of this hotel is superb. The pool overlooking the lake is second to none and was worth the stay for that alone. The restaurant put on a great dinner as well. The actual hotel room was simple and sufficient, but the mattress had a really musty smell that kept me up for hours, until I used towels as a barrier to block the smell. The breakfast should be skipped as well. But oh that view from the pool!

On the first night, we ate in the restaurant. The food was expensive and the portions small – very 1980’s nouvelle cuisine – style over substance. We had to return a tasteless salad and pasta that was under-cooked - it was NOT al-dente, it was undercooked! The glasses of wine were small. The waiter that served us was unfriendly and thrust the wine list across the table right in front of my partner’s face to give it to me. We had to ask for the bill three times over a period of 30 minutes. We did not eat there again. There is more choice in Orta and it’s less expensive.
The reception and bar staff were friendly and helpful.
In the dining room used for breakfast, no staff greeted us, checked we were staying or our room number or showed us to a table. They didn’t engage with clients at all. The tables were not cleared of your used cutlery and crockery after finishing a course. They just piled up unless you took them to the kitchen. Often there were no bowls at the counter for fruit salad and nuts, they had to be fetched from the other end of the dining room, where the milk and yoghurt was stationed. The whole dining experience was not great.
The location on the lake was good. Clientele mostly over 55.
The hotel is set in a beautiful location,right on the shore of lake Orta. We had a room overlooking the lake that gave spectacular views . All of the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again at the hotel.
Restaurant and service was really good. For breakfast an extra coffee machine would be nice due to cue of coffee hungry people. More parking lots would be nice also - especially for electric cars.

Très bien situé balcon donnant sur le lac les pieds dans l’eau vue magique. Chambre confortable dîner très fin de qualité. Pratique pour se garer et surtout accepte les petits chiens. Excellent séjour nous y reviendrons.
Trevligt hotell vid sjön med underbar resturang vid vattnet, även frukosten vid vattnet var fantastisk, enda nackdelen var att det var myggor på restaurangen på kvällen.
