Lakeside hotel in a beautiful area.

A good hotel with large pool,plenty of loungers and options to kayak, water ski, paddle board. Everyone was very friendly and the food at breakfast and in the restaurant was good. The older part of the hotel could do with some modernisation but overall we had a relaxing and pleasant stay. The area is absolutely beautiful!!!

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!

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.

Service can be improved but generally satisfactory

Positives - Good view, restaurant & value. Negatives - Need a taxi to go everywhere. Junior staff were very welcoming & helpful, Senior Management were snooty and inflexible. No lift in the older side of the hotel so it was awkward to carry luggage to 2nd floor.

Hôtel avec une belle vue sur le lac

Bel hôtel, confortable et propre, situé sur une jolie petite plage du lac d’Orta avec une très belle piscine et une magnifique vue très reposante sur le lac. Le petit déjeuner est varié et le restaurant est de bonne qualité. Autres atouts de l’hôtel : un grand parking et un wifi qui fonctionne bien. Une bonne adresse donc !

C'est vraiment un lieu magnifique et on a pprécié l'excellent petit-déjeuner. Belle chambre mais les luminaires sont inadéquates. Nous sommes venus en train et malheureusement on nous a pas pu fournir un service voituriet (même payant) ou un taxi (distance trop courte). En tant que seniores, on a dû marcher plus de 30 minutes jusqu'à la gare par une montée avec plus de 30° en trainant notre valise. Je recommande quand même cet hôtel si bien situé avec une belle plage et c'est avec plaisir que je vais revenir en voiture....
