Place was wonderful! Fantastic views. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff. The local area is lacking in shops and the like if that was part of your plan, but it was not ours except for a couple of souvenirs. And there are some available in the hotel, in Stresa and on the 3 islands.
If I were to gripe, there are no in room drink facilities (tea / coffee) and the complimentary bottles of water were only for a welcome. Since I go up and down the country I have gotten in to the habit of waking up and having a coffee in the room before venturing forth, and what with having the balcony, I did feel I missed out a little having a morning coffee with the fantastic view!
I also felt the price was a touch on the high side not to include breakfast, but the hotel seemed full so perhaps that merely ensures adequate service standard.
However the hotel was fantastic, do not take anything else away from this review than that! Additionally upon check out we were offered water for the journey home and were given 2 packets of absolutely delicious biscuits made at the hotel.
We are already thinking about going back next year!
