coming to this hotel and to this area of Italy is one of the most romantic things a couple can do.
It's worth every dime.
I did not come to this hotel in September because the date I was at this hotel did not appear I was at this lovely hotel in September 2009, just didn't have the time to write a review. - Sorry

perfect location for a quiet stay in the lake area of Italy, we had dinner outside with lakeview ! the room was very good and clean.

We spent a few nights at Araba Fenice with family and friends. The views from the hotel are fantastic however, there is not much outdoor space to sit and admire the view. As it was October the pool area was closed but even so there are not tables a group to sit and enjoy a sundowner. The rooms were adequate. We had a lake view with balcony (lake view is a must due to the rail line) which was comfortable and clean.

The breakfast was disapointing and rather boring after the second day. Staff at the breakfast and the bar did not speak any english. Reception staff did speak English but were not overly helpful. Sergio at reception was the exception. He was helpful and went out of his way to assist.

We had stayed in other 4 star hotels in Italy during the previous few weeks and found this to be rather average.

Parking is convenient and the restaurant next door is great. Just remember a car is a must to get around however the hotel does have bikes for hire if you want to cycle to Iseo Town.

we had a family room with a very nice view of the lake the room was big but needs a bit updating the airconditioning was so weak as non existing. In the end we slept very bad ,with open windows, since it was hot and very noisy from the street traffic.The good thing about the hotel was the pool not to big but very refreshing.
