    An elegant but low-key lakeside resort in a beautiful and convenient location

    No complaints at all.

    The staff were all friendly, professional and very helpful, particularly at the front desk. The lakeside location is the highlight! We swam in the lake and the pool. There are kayaks, paddle boards and bikes to rent. (Also, a jacuzzi, sauna and steam room). The walking path along the lake is wonderful and it’s a lovely 10-15 minute stroll to several very good restaurants in Pettanasco. The breakfast buffet was fabulous. There is a beautiful dining room for dinner, and four-star restaurant was an unexpected bonus, as was the live music on Sunday nights.

    Our room was described as having a lake view. We actually had a awful view with a tiny glimpse of the lake but mainly a view of ugly flat roof, car park and the lake side bar. Very disappointing

    Overrated. Not a 4 stars hotel. Old building. No lift in most area. The swimming pool and facilities need refreshment. Mountain view is rather parking view. No charm, big hotel. Lots of kids and dogs.

    Great location to visit the lake Fabulous breakfast Clean bathroom Very kind staff, especially at the reception desk and the cleaning staff.

    It was not very pleasant to see cheap instant coffee in the room in a 4 star hotel in Italy. Food for breakfast was ok and not very varied, mostly from packed commercial stuff.

    Stunning location overlooking the lake and mountain, our room was clean and spacious, the bed was comfortable. The hotel is definitely quite dated but kept quite clean so I didn’t find it to be too much of an issue. Personnel were very friendly and helpful! We didn’t use the swimming pool or any facilities so no comments on that.

    The junior suite was infact a room with a added mezzanine which squeaked horribly and had very narrow stairs which were difficult to navigate especially at night as the bathroom was downstairs. The air conditioner was not high enough for the mezzanine so while the downstairs room was cool the mezzanine with the bed was hot and airless. No milk provided for coffee/tea.

    Great staff and lovely location by the lake. Restaurant was excellent as was breakfast

    There was no curtain/blind in the bathroom and even though it was fairly protected with the road and steep mountainside facing the bathroom it was a little uncomfortable. Breakfast was a little chaotic (because of number of guests). Might be good to ask people to pick a time slot in advance? Clearer signage to the lake pathway would be good. Lots of noise from people walking past in the corridor but maybe this is them being loud.

    Great leisure facilities with outdoor swimming pool and being right on the lake for easy access and rental of SUP and other things. Nice walk by the lake into the nearest town (15 minutes but take a torch). Breakfast buffet with lots of options. Restaurant looked nice but we didn't eat there. There are a few (maybe three?) places to eat in town but suggest you book. The external restaurant we went to (lake side of the main road) was OK but quite brisk service and charged us for mineral water we never received. Our room was big and the bathroom with shower was too.

    We had a problem with the air-conditioning- when we turned it off it kept turning back on. The staff tried to fix it but couldn't on the first night. It was fixed by the second night. Also the shower is showing it's age and has some mould on the tiles and bottom of the shower door. I found the bi-fold glass doors a strange option for a shower.

    The breakfast was very good and the location was lovely.

    If you don’t have a car then have to rely on an infrequent ferry to get to other towns. You could walk to Orta but the road doesn’t have pavements on a crucial route part of the road.

    Lakeside location was great with views across the lake from our balcony bedroom.

    The bathroom was, let's say, compact. There was no lift in our part of the hotel, but 2 flights of stairs were still just manageable.

    Spacious room on the second floor, with large balcony overlooking the pool & lake. Rooms have been renovated to a good standard. Plenty of room around the pool with lots of comfy loungers dotted on the adjoining lawn. Great little access to the lake. The restaurant was superb with friendly and helpful staff (but make sure to reserve table!)

    Parts of the hotel felt a bit dated.

    Right by the lake, it was lovely to sit on a garden chair below a tree and read, and take a swim when too hot. It is a great place to relax, calm, little noise.

    I think that the pool loungers could do with updating, a lot of them were broken (though useable) and some padded cushioning would make quite a difference in terms of comfort. Swimming caps were compulsory for pool use which could be bought at the hotel for 5 euros (or local supermarkets for less) but it would have been good to know this before so we could have brought our own. Perhaps I missed this communication.

    Fantastic location with lake view, great to have the option to swim in the pool or lake which is easily accessed from the 'beach' area. Food in the restaurant was superb and staff are really helpful.
