Opulence from a bygone era

Introduction
Rooms

Reviews

A Belle Époque masterpiece with spellbinding Lake Maggiore views, state-of-the-art spa and sumptuous interior design.

Like stepping into an opulent nostalgic Italian film set, this hotel is unapologetically indulgent and satisfyingly grand. The aristocratic interior of this Belle Époque mansion matches its sublime setting on the shores of Lake Maggiore – believed by many to be the most romantic in Italy. First to catch your eye will be the views of the Borromean Islands; second, the luxuriant gardens brimming with azaleas, rhododendrons and camellias. Every detail is beautifully thought out, from the stucco decoration to the elegant marble columns and dazzling chandeliers.
