My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was amazing, right by Lake Maggiore with stunning views, friendly staff, and decent amenities. However, the rooms weren't as clean as expected, lacking some essentials like tissue paper and a coffee corner.

Rooms

The rooms, although with a big balcony, were not as clean as I had hoped. There were some cleanliness issues, especially in the bathroom. The room didn't match the pictures on Booking. com, and basic items like tissue paper were missing. The bed felt a bit unclean, and there was a lack of water, towels, and a coffee corner.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were large, well-ventilated, and nicely decorated, but cleanliness was an issue with some unwanted surprises. There were no essential items like tissue paper or enough towels, and the absence of a coffee corner was a first for me. On the bright side, the location was truly wonderful with breathtaking views of Lake Maggiore from the lakeside property.

My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. While the lake view room I stayed in was nicely furnished with first-class linens, free wifi, a safe, and a mini-refrigerator, the cleanliness left much to be desired. I found some unpleasant surprises in the toilet, there was no tissue paper, and the bed didn't feel entirely clean. Unfortunately, I couldn't reach room service either, and there was a lack of essential amenities like water, enough towels, and a coffee corner. The single sheeted bed was also not ideal.

I have to commend the outstanding service provided by the staff. They were attentive and helpful, although they failed to inform me about the extra charges for the car park and gym facilities. I appreciated their assistance and advice to book a table early on.

Location

The stunning location added to the experience of my stay. While the hotel is central, providing easy access to various attractions, there were missed opportunities that could have made it a far better experience, especially with enhanced facilities like more equipment and day beds in the garden.

Dining

5.0

The dining experience at the hotel was a bit disappointing, especially considering the expectations for a 4-star establishment. While the breakfast buffet had a good selection, the quality of the food did not match up, and the price seemed high for what was offered. On the positive side, the freshly squeezed orange juice was a nice touch.

Facilities

The hotel's facilities were lacking in certain aspects, which impacted the overall experience. Despite the beautiful surroundings, there were missed opportunities for a more enjoyable stay.

I was mesmerized by the tremendous view of the lake and mountains from the hotel, but unfortunately, the rooms were not up to standard with cleanliness issues, lack of amenities, and no coffee corner. Service, however, was truly amazing with professional and friendly staff on hand. The location was magnificent with spectacular views, yet the dining experience was subpar when served in a room for groups, not reflecting the expected quality of a 4-star hotel.

My stay at the hotel was wonderful. I had a room that was upgraded to have a view of the lake, the staff were kind and helpful, the location was fantastic, and the room itself was clean and beautiful. However, the budget rooms at the rear end of the hotel are a bit of a walk from the main lobby and may not be as desirable. The only drawback was the slight smell in the room, indicating a need for some reconstruction.

The hotel's location on the lake is perfect. It's very close to the port for convenient day trips to different islands and to visit prime places of interest.

Dining

The dining experience was good, with a wide choice of continental options and delicious freshly squeezed orange juice. However, the fact that dining for groups did not meet the usual 4-star standards was a bit disappointing.
