The breakfast was good, the room was nice and the lake view was totally amazing. Overall the hotel was very nice and clean.

But... Being a 4 star hotel and paying almost 400€ per night, you would have expected more. For example, it seemed, that the hotel wanted to charge extra from everything. Gym would have cost 12€/person, basic sauna also 12€/person, to get glasses to your room was 5€ etc. Well, the inside swimming pool was free. There was also construction work going on in the inner garden, so there was some noise and the outside pools was not in use. And, somehow we got the feeling that most of the personnel didn't like their job and they were not there for the customers. In the 4 star hotel, you would expect great service and very friendly personnel. Because of this, I don't think we're going to visit this hotel anymore, as there are many other options in the near area.

This is the 4th time we have stayed at this hotel and stayed for 6 nights so knew what to expect. We had a side view overlooking the mountains and the lake towards Stresa. The rooms are a bit on the small side but we did not find it a problem. Since our last visit the hotel has spent alot of money on revamping the outside areas which we felt is impressive. Baveno itself has also moved forward and offers much more in the way of eating and drinking venues. We have used the pools in the past which are both indoors and outdoors and very good.

The parking at 20 Euros seems like the going rate for this grade of hotel - but feel it would be easier if added to the final bill paid at the end of your stay. Collecting a ticket each time you enter and leave and paying is a bit of a pain. Breakfast at 25 Euros each is a bit steep and we do not eat alot at this time having had a large evening meal. So a quick croissant, coffee and juice at the cafe a few doors away at 8 - 12 Euros for both suited our needs.

This place was beautiful, and we had a great balcony with a view of the lake. It was an enormous resort with multiple pools, a gym, sauna, restaurants/bars....it also had an excellent location right in the heart of Baveno. Cafes, a pharmacy, etc. are all right across the street.

I would say that the air conditioning wasn't sufficient. We had that thing cranked as high as it could go, and it still felt too warm in the room. Also, they do nickel and dime you for a lot of things. You had to pay an extra 12 euros to use the gym each day, parking was very expensive, and breakfast was also quite costly at 25 euros each.

It is a fantastic elegant hotel, very spacious , spotlessly clean, great location, able to walk into town, able to enter the lake directly from the hotel. The pools were both large and a nice depth for us. All of the staff were very polite and friendly .The rooms were the biggest that we have stayed in, an very plush,quiet and elegant.Paid underground car park made parking very simple.The grounds are magnificent and once again elegant. Bathroom was huge with separate shower and bath. Quiet and efficient air conditioning.

Minor quibbles really, at first the price of the car park seemed a little excessive but it made sense really. No kettle in the room for making tea or coffee.Breakfast was too pricey for us, a family of 9, would have been over £100 every day, but plenty of options nearby. Perhaps not enough sunbeds by the pool, but not really enough room for anymore anyway. Drinks were expensive, asked for a small beer at the pool bar,without specifying which one ,and was charged for the most expensive, 9.50 I think, which was around 3.50 anywhere else.

Great location and beautiful resort. It was a perfect location to catch the ferry from. The room was large and comfortably accommodated our family of four. The hotel grounds were lovely and fun to walk around. There were umbrella rentals available at the front door which was a nice option.

Spa facilities are not inclusive and are an extra fee to use. The hotel had multiple conferences going on with areas of the resort normally accessible to guests setup for a conference event. Some of the conference activities were a bit loud which took away from the stay when trying to enjoy an evening drink overlooking the lake.

The hotel itself was great, location was very close to the train station also to the public boats to go to the islands. The facilities inside are perfect for a short get-away. Pool has an amazing atmosphere of old roman styled baths and the rooms where a good size and very comfortable with great views.

There were two small things that would make it all the better, one - wifi has a 1gb limit which you have to go to reception on case you want to extend it (in today's world in Europe it doesn't make much sense) And the fridge is opened via key card, which needs to be activated. Otherwise, it was incredible.

The hotel is big and spacious, great location

There is a service fee that was not mentioned on the website

We loved both the rooms and the hotel interior and the garden. The indoor swimming pool is also gorgeous. Also I think owners definitely love their hotel and business because everything is considered with love and care (even such small things as towels and shampoos and soaps). Hope we will visit again

I would only prefer having a pot in the room, I am a tea lover and travel everywhere with my own selection of tea. And also with the baby sometimes you need boiled water for their baby food.

Helped us to get a delivery, called us and left the delivery in our room. Early check-in. Great location on the beach, great facilities. Upgraded our room, which is very nice. Amazing views!!! Beautiful hotel with special atmosphere. Great restaurants around the corner. Would love to come back.

Missing a coffee set in the room, which is really a must for a comfortable stay. Parking costs 20 euros. Not enough vegetables and salades for breakfast.

The hotel is of a very high standard inside and condition considering its age now, and is immaculately clean throughout. Lots of marble and nice decor. The bar area is particularly nice with superb large picture windows.

€25 each for breakfast is laughable. €12 each per day to use the gym is excessive. €20 per day for car parking - however it is under ground and secure so that is understandable especially in high season.
