... there was a four-star-hotel at the coast of the Lago Maggiore in Meina. But "tempora mutantur", times change, and today, most of the guests are not Englishmen in an Aston-Martin or Italians in an Alfa Romeo but groups in buses for which two parking places are marked. Not only, this patronage is not quite suitable for a luxury villa,... More

The hotel itself is lovely! Everyone is friendly, food is brilliant, the rooms are superb! What more could one ask for? However this is a trip for people not looking to travel to the main cities in the South like Rome or even the East like Venice. To make up for it there are great transport routes and excursions to...

Hotel Villa Paradiso is a superb hotel on the edge of the town of Meina in a stunning position looking out over Lake Maggiore. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, and there was a pleasant mixture of humour and formality from the waiters in the dining room. Our room was on the third floor on the front with... More

On the whole, we had a lovely holiday to the Villa Paradiso. The staff were very friendly and helpful, even booking our transfer bus from the airport to the hotel, which drops you only about 100 meters from the hotel and was a very reasonably priced. We asked for and paid a small supplement for a lake view. Although our... More

As a family, we were given two adjacent rooms, so I shared with my daughter and my husband with my son. Both rooms were beautifully furnished with stunning views of the lake at... More

Just back from a week spent at the Villa Paradiso - a very nice small to medium-sized hotel. Overall our impression was very positive, with just the 2 caveats mentioned in the title. This was a family holiday, with our two boys aged 20 and 14. We arrived at the hotel to find that instead of being allocated a family-sized... More

Very clean and beautiful hotel, overlooking a busy road which you have to cross to get to the 'beach' (a gravel strip, but with beautiful views). OK for transport during the day, as trains run directly behind the hotel and buses in front, but no evening transport available and miles from anywhere. Nothing within walking distance. Choice of either a... More

Good family run hotel - excellent reception staff - nothing too much trouble. Clean comfortable room with towels changed as required. Useful and reliable air-con. Small bar -(doesn't sell draught beer!) with reasonable prices.The restaurant was good, the maitre d' and his staff were very attentive and humorous and the food was excellent - when it was hot. Good breakfast... More
