It was close to Lake Maggiore about a 5 minute walk. The breakfast was sufficient with everything you need. Very nice host couple. The rooms were clean. Just a bit old. All in all a pleasant stay and would love to come back.

A rich breakfast buffet leaves nothing to be desired. The hotel is located on the outskirts of the city, near a wooded park in a quiet location on a low-traffic road. On the balcony you could really enjoy the sun until it set.
