The decor was traditional and full of character. The rooms were clean, spacious and with access to a good size balcony. The beds were comfortable. Breakfast was plentiful with freshly baked croissants, local cheeses and lovely selection of cured meats. The coffee was outstanding made with a traditional coffee machine. The pool was nice, slightly cold due to cooler weather. The view from the balcony is spectacular!!! Easy access to Lake Orta and Lake Maggiore, 15 minutes away from Mottarone mountain peak. The views from the Mottarone are stunning, absolutely worth visiting!!!

A nice place more for a short break on a longer trip than for spending a longer holiday. A stylish hotel set in nature next to a little-used road at an altitude of over 900 m above sea level (air conditioning is not necessary). Simply furnished rooms, but with all the necessary equipment. Probably very popular with cyclists. A few minutes by car to the beautiful lake. Simple breakfast, salty and sweet, but not too much choice, great coffee and drinks. The hotel includes a restaurant, bar, clubhouse and outdoor seating. Under the hotel balconies there is a nice pool with sun loungers.

The hotel is absolutely spotless throughout. The staff are friendly, professional and helpful. The hotel is maintained very well and updated where possible such as mobile phone charging ports in some rooms, large shower heads and nice bed covers. The hotel itself is very traditional such as dark wooden furniture. Good price and nice mountainside location. We were able to drive to the Luge up the hill and to a great Lido 15 minutes drive away called Lido di Gozzano beach which was amazing for lake swimming and has a stunning restaurant with pizzas £8 and fabulous drinks where you can sit with beautiful lakeside views fully covered if it rains.

Staff is very friendly and helpful - they changed our room from front to back in 1 day. Provided a little fridge in the room and helped with storage of my bicycle. This hotel is cheap, in a great location and provides real good value for money.

Keeping in mind that this is a 'budget' hotel, the food is not quite up too modern standards. Both breakfast and evening cuisine. Then again, I'm not a big breakfast person, and the pizza's are fine and the pasta was too. Fish and meat you should order perhaps elsewhere.

Oh my, this hotel was superb, i love the rustic décor, wooden furniture, antiques. Staff was brilliant, Ellie was fantastic and she spoke English, the other staff members did not speak much English, but it didn't matter, body language did the trick. everyone was nice, i felt like home. Property was clean, good size swimming pool - water cleaned every day. Breakfast was fabulous, the croissants, the fresh juice, local cheese, it was heaven. I never seen my 5 year old eating so much for breakfast :) the hotel is in the middle of nowhere, so you need a car if you want to explore lakes and mountains, unless you are on holidays to be far away from civilization n the forest within the mountains. i loved it, it was quiet and astonishing views. Also because of the hotel being in the woods he heat did not bother us so much. they allow pets and they have 2 pet turtles.

The only thing it could improve is to add more vegetarian option to the menu (although the bruschetta and pizza was delightful :) it could be nice to have more choice. And maybe add children menu.

The location is so peaceful but because it is 911m high you can see planes landing and taking off from Milan Malpensa airport and not hear the planes. The breakfast is included.

There is a pool but given the hotels altitude, and that while the sun is quite strong it is Northern Italy they should utilise solar power water heaters. As the pool was quite cold for families. Also the hotel should install relatively cheap WAP Internet access points for international travellers who need Wifi

The staff go above and beyond. The hotel is about 900m high. Which means that even though even North Italy gets very hot in the summer often, you don't need aircon as the air is cooler up there. Also there were hardly of any mosquitos which is an added bonus as warm places like Italy, especially in summer have a mosquito issue. There is no malaria though in Italy

I loved it. I would be concerned in winter as the roads could be icy. Italian winter is short so I would avoid December to February. March to November is fine.

Breakfast was good. Started a bit late. Couldnt even get a coffee before 8am. But was worth the wait. The coffee was real (not Nescafe poison) and there was no limit of number of cups. All were freshly made from the machine .. not self pour. There were freshly made croisants and other bits. The staff were good. The outside terrace ws very nice. The pool was big. The whole place was relaxe and tranquil. There were some decent hikes straight from the hotel door. the place we stayed after this cost almost double this place but we enjoyed this place more.

Stsrt breakfast at 7am, at least for coffee, for early risers who want to do a walk.

Fantastic place to stay on our way to Switzerland. the hotel is one out of the olden days and has been left like that. but super clean and has a modern touch, I.e. the beds look old but are actually plastic. Quite funny actually. Fantastic spot and nice terrace. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. Felt at home straight away. Nice food, basic but good value for money. Fantastic tiramisu and very funny staff..... pool is lovely, breakfast is great. What more can I say. This is definitely one to return to!!

The staff is super friendly, very kind and extremely helpful. The location is perfect if you want something in the hills that is not too far away from San Giulio. Great value for money. Breakfast is simple but there's something for everybody! We even had dinner at the restaurant one evening and it was PERFECTION! The rooms are clean, the furniture is rustic and made of wood, the shower and wash basin are new. Charming! What more can you ask for! Added bonus: Apparently there are adventure parks close by, we didn't visit them though. Great place for cyclists as well, we saw a few come in for a coffee half way into their ride :)

Wifi could have been a bit faster.
