If you are looking for a nice place at Lago Maggiore, then here you will find peace, quality, authenticity ! If you can afford it, do go for the upgrade and get yourself the suite (in the main building) rather then the standard room (which are outdated). The gardens are beautiful, great setting but do take note that the pool... More

At first you might wonder what makes this albergo so special but it quickly opens up to show you its charms from the oddly situated rooms to the glorious setting to the marvelous dining room and the wonderful and friendly service. They recommended our day's outing thru Stressa and the island and around on the ferry to the northern part... More

Superb, highly unusual service. Staff fulfills many roles when needed. A driver hit our rental car in a town 15 minutes away and would not give us his information. Two staff members came to help us with necessary papers and the driver of the other car complied! More

My husband and I stayed at Il Sole di Ranco with our three and five-year-old children recently. The property is absolutely beautiful and the setting is superb. The service was excellent with great attention to detail. The staff went out of their way to welcome our children and added extra touches to make their stay enjoyable as well. The pool... More

This hotel should not be a Relais et Chateau.. WAKE UP R&C (you are rapidly losing your standards for the sake of membership fees from hotels!!)... The location on the Southern end of Lake Maggiore isn't bad but nothing amazing.. the area is pretty unattractive and there is nothing in the town other than a pizzeria and a small waterfront...

Just come back from a week at this superb spot. Il Sole is Ranco and the hotel occupies a lovely tranquil lakeside position. Our room (junior suite) was delightful, spotless with a period charm but modern fittings. Perhaps I would have liked to see a bath as well as a shower with such a large bathroom space. Two floors so... More

If, like us, you are looking for a quite stay on Lake Maggiore, then this ‘Relais & Chateaux’ is perfect. We had an outstanding stay – but be sure to book a ‘room with a view’ or the whole essence of the hotel and its location are lost. Ranco is a small village, but just 1km from the nearest town....

Very nice place over all. Room was very nice and bed was comfortable the pillows were very "hard." (Not my first choice). The restaurant had a big reputation. I was not that impressed but it was okay. The wine list was extensive. I knew what wanted. But I let the somallier recommend something to see what he would recommend. He... More

I stumbled across this place about 15 years ago and was pleasantly surprised at the restaurant. I can be very serious about food and found myself out under a vine covered pergola with a brilliant view of Lago Maggiore, with a lovely multi-course meal. I later found out it had a Michelin star. There is a private, intimate feel to... More
