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.

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.

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.

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!

Lovely short stay

We had a lovely one night stay before heading to Malpensa, which was about 1 1/2 hours away. The hotel is right on the lake, we didn't get lake view rooms as they were full but the restaurant has a lovely view. There is a good pool (unheated) but most guests swam in the lake from the decking. An added bonus was the pedallo and canoes which were available to rent at a very reasonable Euro 10/hr.

The large room was amazing, looking out onto Lake Orta. Plenty of storage space. Really pleased that there were a fridge, safe (altho I failed to master it after many tries) & a kettle. The bathroom looked smart, the shower was good. The 'modern' sink didnt have plug, weird, so couldn't wash 'smalls'. The fan was the loudest I've ever encountered in a hotel bathroom. Parking a nightmare
