Breakfast was very good but on the morning when they served Salmon, it wasn't replaced once finished. Rooms are very spacious and very clean. Towels were changed everyday (which isn't really necessary) Enough parking and hotel located on the promenade.

It is not the first hotel where we stayed within that area, but definitely the best one! Booking it I didn't expect to get such a level of hospitality, comfort and care. It is a masterpiece: amazing combination of design, technologies, comfort and coziness. From the very first minute we felt so welcomed that didn't want to leave. Giada, Daniele thank you for your help at all the stages of our stay! Massimo, we were honored to be welcomed by you! Restaurant 'LeBolle' deserves a special comment: food, wine list, service are amazing! Table setting with all the small details was so sophisticated that brought aesthetic pleasure in addition to gastronomic experience. Looking forward to spa area opening, I may expect it will be fantastic!

Beautiful hotel, perfectly located in Stresa! Our room was so quiet, comfortable and charming, and we loved having breakfast delivered to our room and eating out on the balcony with views of the lake. Great restaurants within just a couple of minutes walk of the hotel, and the boat dock to go to the islands was basically across the street. The staff was so helpful and welcoming. We only wish we could've stayed longer!

FAQs about hotels in Lago Maggiore - Italy

A Breath of Fresh Air

Italy’s longest lake, Lake Maggiore lies at the foot of the southern Alps and extends into Switzerland in the north. Most of the Lake Maggiore hotels in Switzerland are in Locarno and neighbouring Ascona. Surrounded by vineyards, Locarno houses a 12th-century castle and an innovative representation of the solar system which extends as far as Tegna village.

Also in Swiss territory is Brissago, starting point for boat trips to the Brissago Islands whose botanical gardens grow coffee plants. Over the Italian border is beautiful Cannobio in Piedmont, where brightly coloured buildings overlook the small harbour.

South is Ghiffa, home to a UNESCO World Heritage-listed pilgrimage mountain. Just beyond is Verbania, a laidback city lining 2 of Maggiore Lake’s shores. Across the water, the largest of the Borromean Islands – Isola Bella – has a palace and stepped gardens offering wonderful lake views. Home to the largest concentration of Lake Maggiore hotels, Stresa is a lovely town and departure point for boat trips to these islands.

Near the lake’s southern tip is Arona, while less well-known Lake Maggiore resorts in Lombardy include Angera (known for wines and a medieval castle), sleepy Ranco, and Luino with its popular weekly market.

Booking.com has a fabulous range of apartments, B&Bs and hotels by Lake Maggiore covering all these resorts and more.

Verbania is a really good base for a stay on Lake Maggiore.

Verbania is a really good base for a stay on Lake Maggiore. It has 2 parts - Intra where the main ports are, and Pallanza. There are lots of boats leaving and arriving every day at Intra, both passenger-only and ferries with cars, so very useful for exploring other parts of the lake. Intra has a nice sea front and an old town with little courtyards and cafes dotted all over it. The highlight of Pallanza is Villa Taranto, the botanic gardens. Well worth a visit.

I have been going to Cannobio for nearly thirty years it is a little gem on Lago Maggiore and is the essence if an Italian town. There are not many English or UK tourists, which makes it good to practise Italian. It sits on the lake with an amazing Sunday market and emits a feeling of comfort and home for me I should say its horrible to keep it a little secret but it is a great place to visit with amazing restaurants and good quality food with prices for all budgets and campsites too

A small place by the lake, but the shore is more or less private, so you are limited to the part of the shore that is in the camp, The place has many shops, which are more or less empty or already run down, also there is only one restaurant , which is open all day, but there is a lot of traffic. Also, there is a lot of garbage on the street. In general, you get the feeling that they had big plans for tourism, but they did not succeed.

We received a good map at the tourist information and found the hiking routes easily. Paddling to the isola Cannero was nice, one day 30 min, the other day 1 hour. The drive up the hill was a bit challenging with small roads, with a regular pass car ok, with larger vehicle not to recommend. Taking the fary boat was good price and nice to see the lake from the water side. Locals were all friendly and helpfull, in supermarket, tourist info and dentist. With english you manage most of the times, yet to know minimum the basics in italian language is beneficial. Very nice also was the small oldtimer event in the center of the town. An appartment above the town is great in terms of view, camping place direct at the lake seemed to be very nice, also. Cannero, be aware of many steps ;-), depending on where you stay and what you do. We surely enjoyed our stay at Cannero Riviera and the activities there and around.

Ispra doesn't have much of anything going on.

Ispra doesn't have much of anything going on. Lakeside is not too exciting. Nothing much in the tiny town. Highlight was the pizzeria, and even then we kept getting told off for getting there too late. Not a great hub to get to other areas because you have to traverse some super narrow roads to get to Laveno or to the west side of the lake. If I had it to do again, I would stay in Cannobio or Sestra.

Stresa was such a beautiful place to visit.

Stresa was such a beautiful place to visit. Don't miss the Terre Borromeo or the Prosecco at Enoteca Da Giannino! We spent 4 nights there (girls trip) - perfect time to slow down after 9 days of travel/site-seeing. One day for the islands, one day for a visit to another town on the lake and one day for wandering in Stresa. Excellent dinners at La Rosa dei Venti and Osteria Mercato. Cocktail prosecco at Enoteca Da Giannino wine bar. Easy access by train, however - not so easy to locate a taxi from the train to your lodging. (Uber is super expensive, but there is a taxi service you can reserve for your ride back to the train station.) Skip Como - come to Stresa!
