Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola

Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola

10/10 Excellent
"What’s beautiful Hotel, located just across the road from a private area to access the lake. A few nice restaurants close by and around a 15 minute walk to the town with lots of fabulous shops. Pool area is great also with a hydro pool and sauna. We had a garden room in the new part of the hotel which was very light and airy with a patio food out to a small patio with chairs. The beds had the crispest white linen and it was all immaculate. We drove and it was easy to access and drop off the luggage then concierge parked the car. Highly recommend thanks for having us."
