We are very pleased with our stay at this hotel! The room was very spacious with a good view from the window, although not on the lake. Incredibly nice staff to help with everything - especially the hotel manager Maria Angela - an amazing woman who took time for each guest, creating an atmosphere of comfort and exclusivity of the place, as well as a sense of value for each of the guests. The hotel itself is a pearl of architecture and neoclassical style right on the lake and its own beach. Despite the fact that it is an old historical building, the hotel is in very good condition and with all amenities, including swimming pool, sauna and spa. It has convenient location - close to the city center, but at the same time a little secluded - so not noisy and calm. Amazingly delicious restaurant with rich and varied breakfast with a lake view.

We loved absolutely everything about the property and couldn’t fault it. The location was perfect - beautifully maintained grounds by the lake and a short stroll into Pallanza. The indoor pool was amazing - so relaxing and serene - and swimming in the lake was wonderful. The breakfast was fantastic with a huge amount of choice. Our room was just perfect for us. Having a cocktail on the terrace after coming back from dinner in Pallanza was lovely. If you want somewhere quiet and chilled, this is the perfect place. All the staff were lovely and went above and beyond - a special mention needs to go to Blendy (our name for him was Jack!) at the bar and Moussa at the pool.

The location and the facilities are excellent, especially the Junior suite sizes and balcony views. The lounge chairs in the front yard are comfortable, and there was plenty of space for everyone to have a certain level of social distancing privacy. The ability to swim in lake out front was nice. The walk to the main hub if Palanza, with many restaurants, shops, the lighted fountain and ferries also extremely convenient. Parking near hotel also free on street.

A beautiful place. Loved the peaceful garden, the lake, the pool. Fantastic to have an aperitivo on the terrace during sunset.

Excellent hotel for relaxing and getting away from it all, location 5 minutes from town with fabulous restaurants offering fine dining at reasonable prices. We traveled in June so it was fairly quiet which suited us. We eat out most evening but went back to the hotel for a nightcap where we were looked after by Lorenzo & Blend who were both top drawer barmen and all round nice people. Would definitely return at some stage.

Amazing location, garden with a direct access to lake, nice pool and wellness center. Great views from a balcony. Close to Verbania, Stresa and islands.

A magnificent late 19C Grand Hotel which has had to adapt itself to modern tourist trends to cover its overheads. That means short term tourist groups.

Fabulous Hotel, on the lake front with direct access. We stayed in the annexe apartments, very recently refurbed. Very high standard for a 4 star hotel.
