Nice views. Could use some renovations

Check in and staff (cleaning and breakfast) were professional l. Excellent breakfast. Distinctly above average. The view of the lake was outstanding. The hotel is run down though. It has a 70s/80s vibe. Shame the owners haven't considered investing in a face lift.

This was a great hotel with reasonable prices, and the staff was excellent. The only thing I would improve is the bathroom door- it’s very loud opening it and if you have to go in the night it will wake someone up!

ice hotel

Nice hotel with great free parking. We had balcony room overlooking the lake which was excellent. Room was very clean and comfortable. It had a fridge and a kettle but no cups or coffee provided. The pool area is lovely with plenty of sunbeds. You can walk along the lakefront path to the little town of pettanesco. There is a pleasant lake front cafe bar there and another two restaurants in the centre. It is not possible to walk along the road to the main town. All the staff were absolutely excellent, they were hard working, efficient and very friendly, a real credit to the hotel.

Great Hidden Hideaway

Beautiful accommodations! Short distance from the city center, which was a plus since we had a rental car. The only complaint we had was the internet service was very sporadic! If not for that, I would have no complaints whatsoever!

A nice lake weekend

Beautiful spot right on the Orta lakeside with nice pool and peaceful setting. The ferry stops conveniently on the property which is great for traveling to San Guilia and Isola San Guilia. Our room was comfortable although a little dated with a terrible shower head but the lake view terrace made up for it! Staff were generally helpful and accommodating.

Lovely location

The lakeside location of this hotel is the main positive, with a boat service to Orta San Giuilio. Breakfast was ok and the room was spacious, comfortable and clean. We ate dinner in the hotel a couple of nights but whilst the food was good it felt a bit over elaborate and we preferred to eat at a more authentic local trattoria.

Great facilities in delightful location.

Location is wonderful and coupled with this resort type hotel's facilities it results in a wonderful, relaxing experience. I think the lakeside tables on the restaurant terrace or the waterwide gazebo are some or the most romantic in all Europe.

Had a lovely stay here, and was lucky enough to be given a free room upgrade on arrival. Hotel staff were attentive and very helpful, couldn't have asked for more.
