Exceptional staff. Attentive, kind, bright, eagerly professional. You can feel the history of the hotel, it's like stepping into the early 20th century, with subtle modern amenities that don't detract from the richness of the experience.

Cosy, historical hotel situated on the hill, with beautiful panorama view over the lake, town and mountains, surroudned by park. Interior is gorgeous, equipped with original furnitures, paintings that brought us to early 20s last century. Only 30 minutes drive from Malpensa Airport, 1h to the centre of Milan, 1h to Como and 1,5h to Bellagio. Very good starting point to the best italian attractions known all over the world. Breakfast served in the restaurant with the view over the lake, rich variety of food, delicious cakes and bread. No hurry, cosy, relaxing place for enjoying the breakfast.

What can I say. The hotel is a mix of old world charm and glamour! It had hints of a Wes Anderson film, mixed with the grandness of The Overlook and the pool and bar area made me think of Chateau Marmont and Hollywood. It was idyllic and I could have stayed happily for a long time. Beautiful setting, stunning views and very peaceful. The outdoor bar and cafe are sublime and the pool area the best I've ever experienced. The whole family loved it. Great breakfast too and nice big room. Staff all lovely and helpful, they mix a mean cocktail and serve a delicious lasagne! Varese is a lovely town, great restaurants and shops a short walk from the hotel. Easy direct train to the airport. If this was on Como it would be at least a £1k a night but was extremely good value. We will most certainly be back!

The hotel is located in a park-like area on top of hill in Varesa. Trees all around and a wide view of the lake from the front terrace and breakfast room. Wonderful location for relaxing. The hotel is also in good, not too long ago restored condition with lovely public areas and rooms. We were there in December and everywhere was warm and cosy. Plenty of hot water in the shower.

It is al real palace and this is one of our favorite hotels. The rooms were beautiful and comfortable and had a nice view on the lake. Breakfast is very complete and served in a beautiful hall. The swimming pool is amazing, and the bar in the garden is luxurous. The people working in the hotel show a high standard of hospitality and are kind and professional. The ladies of the reception have helped us a lot with contacting the courier, which we have appreciated highly.

The facilities were amazing: huge room with view to lake Varese and nature; big bathroom; great breakfast, lunch and dinner, wonderful park surrounding the hotel; the swimming pool and relax areas. The best hotel to spend our last days in Italy.

Outstanding location, beautiful scenery. Rich breakfast, good for adults and kids. Polite staff. Quiet, no noise. Big bathrooms, nice bed. Clean. Breathtaking view from our room. Excellent outdoor (heated) pool. Free parking. Hotel is situated on a steep hill, and has big surrounding gardens, so walking by foot is not recommended; we had a car. We'll be back again.

The rooms were lovely, the restaurant food was of an exceptional standard, the staff were friendly and went over and above to assist with all our requests. The location was a little out of the city centre but it was an easy walk and easily accessible by buses and taxi
