Really lovely peaceful hotel. My Husband and I stayed here for 4 nights in August as part of our holiday trip through Switzerland and Italy.
We were welcomed on arrival by the owner and she personally escorted us to our room. Extremely clean everywhere, marble floors and bright decoration. Our room was air conditioned and also had a balcony overlooking the beautiful gardens.
The hotel is located at the back of the medieval village of Cannobio, only a 10 minute walk from a wide choice of restaurants and lake. It has a nice small swimming pool and offers ample shade to sit in the gardens. We didn't eat at the hotel except for breakfast which was a good selection of fresh fruits, yogurts, cereals, breads, in fact everything you could want, all served by very nice staff.
Cannobio was an interesting place to stay with its small colourful streets leading down to the lakeside. Some of the restaurants were really geared up to tourists and were not particularly cheap although this might be something to do with the poor UK/Euro exchange rate. However, there are plenty to choose from and we even found an excellent bar overlooking the lake for a glass of prosecco before dinner (just the far side of the church with the lake and ferry stop on the righthand side). It's a good idea to ask at the hotel for recommendations for restaurants.
We had both wanted a relaxing break and, overall, this was a great four day stay. We would thoroughly recommend the hotel and would actually rate it as a higher quality than it's 3* category.
