We just stayed one night in this hotel, but I will keep it in mind for a longer stay. The rooms are nice and clean and we had a balcony with lake view. In the morning they serve a good breakfast. The hotel does not have a restaurant, but there is plenty of choice in the surrounding area.
We stayed in this beautiful renovated farmhouse for two nights in October. It is situated by the Lake Varese, and we had beautiful views to the lake from both, our bedroom terrace and from the breakfast room. As we were 10 people (5 adults, 4 children and a baby), we had reserved 3 rooms, two family rooms and a double. The house is very tastefully decorated, has several lounge areas and beautiful decoration details throughout the whole place. It needs to be cleaned with a little bit of more attention though, as there was a lot of dust and dead insects in both, the bedrooms and public areas. There were also problems with electricity, it came and went quite a few times on our first night of our stay. The bedrooms are very spacious and have amazing views, but the sofa bed offered for the children to sleep on, is too small to fit two children comfortably (aged 10 and 7). There is no restaurant on site, but we found several very nice restaurants nearby, visited two and could recommend both of them highly. Both restaurants were about 5 minutes drive from the hotel. Breakfast was very basic, several items finished (we were 9 people to eat!) and were not replaced, the same bowl of fruit was on the table for both days, some fruit had gone mouldy, but was not taken out or replaced, we actually had to ask them to take the mouldy ones out. It also seemed that there was a lack of communication between the staff. When I called them to reserve the three rooms, we were told it was a low season (mid week end of October) and given a lower price than stated on their website. When we were paying for our rooms while checking out though, the price on the bill was nearly 200 euros higher than we were told before. We said that this was not the price we had agreed while booking, but the girl in the reception knew nothing about it. Finally she gave us some discount, but it really left a bitter feeling. We were the only people staying there that time. I would probably not return or recommend this place. The location is amazing and it is easy to visit all the lakes and sights nearby, it is also beautifully decorated inside, but they really have to work on improving the cleanliness, breakfast and overall customer service.…
Great Location, right next to Lago Varese. Perfect if you are planing to rent a car and drive around the area. Close to Lago Maggiore and Sacro Monte di Varese, World Heritage by UNESCO. Large stylish suites. Moderate tasteful breakfast and great costumer service. We forgot some documents, and they kindly offered to mail it. We had a wonderful time! Thank you!
Nicely renovated farm, lot's of common space, large rooms, stylish, very quiet, lake or mountain view. Next to the small Varese Lake, a lot less crowded then the larger Italian mountain lakes. Linked with the next door horse riding school. Only 8 rooms, plenty of (non guarded) parking space. Somewhat remote, car needed. Breakfast only but some nice restaurants close by. We ate decently at the Villa Baroni on terrace with view on the Lake. We had our bikes but didn't have enough time to circle the Lake and stranded at the little Bar del Lago in nearby Cazzago Brabbia.
