Gorgeous place to have lunch- food was fantastic! We booked a table, so were sitting facing the Isola Bella, under a canopy of wisteria. The service was excellent and we had a fabulous Soave white wine, with our meal. One comment regarding the food was that the Carpaccio di Manzo used a smoked meat, and may not be to everyone's...

I stayed here last weekend with a friend it was lovely. A very friendly hotel that felt like someone's home, beautifully and thoughtfully furnished. Our room opened out onto a large terrace shared with 2 other rooms, but it was so large you still had privacy and the view was stunning. Breakfast was good, eaten on the lake view terrace.... More

We were staying in Baveno and were recommended this restaurant by the Hotel Splendid staff. We were picked up by boat from Baveno dock and taken to the beautiful restaurant on Isola Pescatori, which overlooks either Isola Madre or Isola Bella depending on where you are seated. The staff are very welcoming and the attention to detail is recommendable, with... More

We spent some of our honeymoon at the Verbano, and it really is a very special place. Situated on the beautiful Isola Dei Pescatori, it is unlike anywhere else we've stayed before.

Some rooms are definitely better than others, but all... More

After reading all of the positive reviews, I was excited to stay at the hotel: beautiful terrace to have breakfast and dinner; listening to the waves as you fall asleep with cool breezes...; feel superior to the people staying in Stresa! HARDLY, our experience was a quite different. When we arrived, they told us there was no air conditioning, but... More

Very friendly hotel, situated on a small island off Stresa. Rooms a good size for Italy, and the views from our balcony could have come from a holiday brochure. The island gives you a sense of superiority over those stuck in Stresa with traffic noise, while we were listening to wavelets lapping the sure. We'll be back! More
