Do not take your luggage just use a small bag of what you need as you are unable to drive up to the hotel

The location and views are exceptional, and the hotel is beautifully appointed in keeping with the character and charm of the building We did not have dinner there, however the restaurant is apparently excellent

A big drawback but difficult to remedy because of the constraints posed by the splendid architecture: There is no air condition. On one of the hottest days of the past decade this made sleeping a bit difficult. Basically a choice between widely opening all windows and being eaten by mosquitos, or closing them and getting steamed. Also, the parking situation is a bit unusual. In the morning, when I had to walk 300 meters through a thunderstorm with torrential rain to get to the car, I not only got all the cooling down I had been praying for during the night but much more of it.

The Building and its location are spectacular. A lovingly maintained Art Deco building with completely preserved interiors from the 1920s is not easy to find. I will come back, but not in the heat of summer.

Nothing. Our stay was wonderful!

We had a beautiful lake view from our windows. The bathroom was large. There were steps to get to our room, this was expected and understood because the hotel is a historic one. Everything was very clean, bed was very comfortable and other furniture in the room was adequate. Breakfast was really good, they offered many choices for beverages and food, way better than a continental breakfast. We liked the historic atmosphere of the hotel and area. They have their own coffee shop inside the hotel that locals use, this is a huge plus for us. The romantic dinner was adorable with all the candles and great service, the food was delicious (I eat a vegetarian diet and they made some of the best vegetarian dishes I have ever tasted). We liked the charm and hope to come back again someday.

The car park is quite far away, which is difficult if you have heavy luggage.

Restaurant food was overpriced and portions very small.

The unique location, high in a historic village on a hill behind Varese. Staff were excellent. Room was large with comfy, king size bed and views to the lakes. We woke to the sound of the church bells.

It was a unique experience, the place, and everything was beyond expectations. This place was the highlight on our trip. We booked this hotel without knowing anything about the place or the area, and it was the best decision we've made.

The allure of opening the windows to let in fresh air was quickly dampened by the romantic noises—mainly the creaking beds and distant laughter from neighboring rooms. If you’re a light sleeper, this might pose a challenge. We were the loud/romantic ones, no problem for us :)
