If you want to get a feel of how the Italian Lakes were a century ago, this is the hotel for you. It was built in 1857 as a private villa and in 1879 Queen Victoria and her daughter Princess Beatrice, staying nearby, visited the villa because their entourage were being accommodated there. By 1908 the building had been expanded... More

Reception was friendly and efficient. From the first impression, it could easily be thought that the hotel decor qualifies as faded. However it is in fact in good condition, it is just the dowdy colours that make it seem a bit drab. Don't let this put you off. It is a nice comfortable place to stop. The rooms are a... More

A lovely place to stay on Lake Maggiore. The room was spacious and had a lovely view of the lake. The hotel is well located, close to the town of Baveno. Restaurants and the ferrt terminal are well within walking distance. Breakfast was more than ample but pricey.

Stayed here in May 2013 in lake view room with breathtaking and beautiful views across Lake Maggiore of islands and mountains. Staff were friendly, outstandingly helpful and efficient. Pretty gardens framed the view over the swimming pool and lake side beach to the gardens of Isola Bella and Isola Madre, for which the hotel was well situated. Easy access by... More

What could have been a bad start to our holiday turned out to be a highlight, with the... More

Returned again to this stunning hotel for our anual holiday. As usual, wonderful service, great food, and a lovely lake view room. We were treated like very special guests and spoiled rotten by all the staff. The female waitresses were superb - we christened them the Spice Girls and there was much laughter and great service from them. We cannot... More

Very pleasant place with an exceptional view on the Boromée islands. The personal was very professional. Accommodations are excellent. The swimming pool is very confortable but Internet connection could be improved. We really enjoyed our stay.

Lido palace was an excellent choice for us. Family reunion from Australia and England. The palace rooms are magnificent and the staff were most helpful. We had no complaints at all and were disappointed we couldn't stay longer. We will be back. Recommended for a luxurious break and it's not the usual hotel living, far superior. We had breakfast and... More
