Villa & Palazzo Aminta

Excellent location. Wonderful staff, restaurants, decor. Access to Lake Maggiore via dock. Pool excellent. Recommend highly.

This was our last stay on a 10 day tour from Milan to Lakes Como and Maggiore. It’s an impressive building and it was notable that there was a high level of service. Senior management got involved at a personal level to make sure things were all satisfactory. The food is high class and we didn’t feel the need to go externally for our evening meal. They run a shuttle service into Stresa for the main ferry and excursion boats and there is a closer ferry dock although the road is light on pavements so not as easy a walk as it should be as it’s so close. The views from the hotel are stunning, the Borromean islands are laid out before you! Definitely recommend a stay if you are going to the Stresa area.

I wanted to share my feedback on a recent hotel stay. The experience was truly one of a kind, from the beautiful views of Lake Maggiore to the excellent services provided by the hotel. We were particularly impressed by Mr. Roberto, who took the time to visit with us and ask for our feedback on his hotel. This hotel is truly exceptional and something everyone should experience. Best regards, Bob

Just back from a wonderful stay at this beautiful hotel. Had a lake view room and was so worth the upgrade cost. It had the most beautiful view of the lake and Borromean Islands. Previous reviews have mentioned the busy road in front of the hotel, but I did not find this a problem at all and it in no way impacts the beauty of the view or how much we enjoyed sitting on the balcony relaxing with a drink. Also have seen previous reviews stating the room size as small, we did not find this at all. The room was similar size to most hotel rooms I have stayed in. The room itself was spotlessly clean as were all area of the hotel. Gardens and pool area were beautiful. Lots of pretty flowers everywhere. We were half board and the food was amazing, lots of choices and there was a vegetarian and vegan menu available with plenty of choices too. Hotel staff were friendly and helpful. There is a shuttle available to take you into the centre of Stresa at various times. Would not hesitate to stay here again. Loved our stay at this beautiful hotel, thank you.

It is always about the staff. In this hotel they are all brilliant. It begins at the door then the reception and follows on with all the waiting staff. Every one is friendly, efficient and extremely helpful. Our room (Lake view) was well appointed with a very comfortable bed and good bathroom. All spotless. Complimentary drinks in the minibar and little extras made us feel welcome. Breakfast was fantastic with multiple choices - hot and cold - with attentive staff and obliging cooks. We had two dinners and the quality and choices were very good. The reception staff helped arrange a trip to Locarno and nothing was too much trouble. A great hotel.
