Excellent quality/cost ratio. Nested in the hills over Lake d'Orta, it take 10 minutes to get to the lake. Excellent and very friendly staff. Excellent food at the restaurant.

Nice hotel close to Lake Orta

Nice gardens and pool area, rooms not so comfortable, very hard bed and room was hot since AC was not yet turned on for summer. The hotel is close to a main road which is good for access to Lake but too much noise in room.

Best hotel we stayed at in Italy!

We loved our stay at Hotel Cortese. We travelled quite a bit around Italy... Rome, Venice, Milan. And we also visitd Armeno because we have family that live there. Hotel Cortese was the best hotel we stayed at during our whole trip. Very modern rooms, great bathroom, a nice breakfast selection.

Très bel hôtel avec un joli patio

Très bel hôtel, avec un beau patio et un bel intérieur. Chambres confortables, manque peut être une bouilloire pour se faire un thé/café mais la salle de repos/bar est très agréable aussi. Le petit déjeuner compris est apprécié. Le système de ventilation ne fonctionnait pas assez ou nous n'avons peut être pas compris mais avons laissé la fenêtre ouverte

Top Adresse

Wir waren eine Woche im Hotel und waren von dem Hotel und Service rundherum Zufrieden. Besonders hervorheben muss ich die vorzügliche feine Küche, einfach TOP und herrliche Weinauswahl dazu. Könnte eine Michelin Empfehlung werden !!! Die Lage ist herrlich für Wanderungen in der Umgebung und bei weitem nicht so überlaufen wie am Lago Maggiore

Location molto comoda

L'hotel si trova in una location molto comoda per la visita del lago d'Orta. La piscina è di discrete dimensioni e ben orientata se si vuole prendere il sole. Il giardino molto curato fa da splendida cornice. La camera è piccola ma dignitosa, il bagno di recente ristrutturazione con una doccia spaziosa. Il rapporto tra costo camera è tuttavia sbilanciato: un po' caro rispetto ad altri alberghi della stessa categoria considerato che è tutto escluso: i teli bagno per la piscina sono a noleggio a 1,80 Euro. La colazione è molto varia ed abbondante. Il personale è gentile e presente.
