Perfect and peaceful hotel!

Very nice and friendly hotel with a great view. The breakfast was very good considering italian standard. It was 36degrees during my vistit but the room was nice and cool. Since cars are not aloud past the point of the hotel it is extremly peaceful. The only sounds were birs and the bells from the monestary on the island. I really, really want to go back to this place and will pick this hotel for sure.

We selected this hotel from the about 5-7 choices in Orta San Giulio due to proximity to the center of the town, free parking, and nice location with view. We did not regret it and would go there again. Staff is friendly and helpful and fluent in English. We enjoyed the breakfast on the terrace and made all the beautiful hikes on the peninsula without ever using the car.

Dejligt hotel, med skøn udsigt og fin swimmingpool. Man spiser rigtig godt på hotellet. Værelserne er lidt slidte - og lidt dyr i forhold til værelsets størrelse og komfort.

Vue et emplacements au top, pas le reste.

Lemplacement est parfait et la vue sublime, mais la piscine était en panne lors de notre sejour. L'eau etait verte ! Ce problèmes aurait du nous etre indiqué a notre arrivée. Au restaurants les serveurs sont assez secs et seul les chambres sont climatisées. Le hall et le couloirs sont très chauds.

Hervorragende Lage und Aussicht

Schön, das Service-Personal im Restaurant könnte aber freundlicher sein. Zimmer schön und sauber, Die Lage und die Aussicht sind hervorragend. Kostenloser Parkplatz. Großer und recht tiefer Pool. Der Preis scheint angemessen. Das Essen im Restaurant findet man im Umkreis in anderen Restaurants wohlschmeckender also keine HP buchen. Wir würden aber wieder hinfahren.
