Just returned from the most enjoyable week at Lake Orta, which is idyllic, traffic free (generally) and you have to slow down; the pace lends itself to total calm. Hotel Leon d'Oro is in a prime location, on the medieval square overlooking the lake, and the island opposite with mountains in the background. Picture postcard pretty. The family owned hotel,...

We have never written a hotel review but after our terrible experience at this "hotel", we felt compelled to warn others. Please do not be swayed by the pictures on the internet. Even though this "hotel" is nicely decorated, you will leave as angry and disgusted as we did. The "hotel" is owned by a mother and daughter team who... More

I can't believe the negative views on the Leon D'oro. I go to Europe twice a year and I always go to lake Orta and either dine on the verandah for lunch with friends or stay with friends over night. I have to tell readers that the Ronchetti family who own it are wonderful people two sisters own the hotel... More

This hotel was the last leg of a trip around Italy, so we had a fair frame of reference for comparison by the time we arrived. The town is absolutely beautiful, don't let my review put you off visiting. We paid more for this room than any others during our trip, but by comparison the hotel was a disappointment. The... More

Absolutely fantastic situated place , chaming disigne of the rooms , afresco performed walls, Has own terassa sea view You easely can walk down and have a bath in the lake directly from steps of the low garden of hotel.Grand respect to ladies- hosstess! Restaurant- kind of perfection for very reasonable price! Penso tutti itagliani riconoscono questo bel albergo !

First thing to say is this is an absolutely lovely town and I would like to go back but definitely not here! We went for a wedding so were travelling in a big group, the groom had explained we would be arriving around 11.30 at night but the hotel for some reason wanted to close reception before we got there....

Leon d'Oro is a family-run hotel in the centre of Orta, which is a gem of a location. Lake Orta is the smallest and westernmost of Northern Italy's lakes and is a real jewel; nestling amongst surrounding mountains, which disappear to the North into the Alps. Orta village sits on a peninsula on the eastern edge of the lake at... More

Avoid this hotel at all costs! AVOID THIS "HOTEL" AT ALL COSTS!!! I have never left a hotel in such an anger and hatred. I have never felt met with such a contempt and cynicism, and I have never felt such a bad energy at another place. All they care about is to steal your hard earned money - they... More

This was our first visit to the lakes and Lake Orta proved a great choice with Hotel Leon d'Oro proving to be a perfect choice of hotel. I visited with my wife and 6month old son and the hotel staff were fantastic-very polite, helpful and attentive. In the mornings my son already had a high chair set up at a... More
