Hotel Belvedere

Very good location directly next to the lake

No watercooker+tee in the room. You have to buy this stuff at the bar downstairs. Small plates and cutlery would be nice

Lovely hotel situated on the lake front right near boat pick-up to go around lake. Lovely restaurant inside hotel. Lovely large rooms, very clean .

Nothing.

It was very clean, excellent location.

No facilities to make tea in room... Beds were not very comfortable...

This was our fifth stay at the Belvedere. Entire staff is most welcoming, especially Signore Paolo, who couldnt possibly be more helpful and accommodating. We feel it is our home away from home! Excellent breakfast and a perfect location. We wouldn't consider staying anywhere else when visiting the Lago Maggiore.

hotel is very close to ferry to approach all interesting places around. it's old fashion very classy but pretty renovated hotel with great and smiley stuff and terrific breakfast.

evenings were pretty cold but as in all Italian's hotels we stayed there wаs no heating available.

The location of this traditional, Edwardian era hotel was excellent for catching the ferry around the islands. Our huge 4th floor room had a very high ceiling and dual aspect windows, meaning it was light and airy and offered fabulous views across the lake to Isola Madre and beyond to Stressa on the opposite shore. The bed was large and comfortable. The bathroom was also large with a walk in shower that could easily accommodate 2. The lift had been cleverly designed with to fit inside the original staircase, but had glass walls to maintain it's airy grandeur. Breakfast was generous and varied. with separate sweet and a savoury food stations. There were egg boiling points, ham cheese, rolls, cereals, muesli, yogurts, fresh fruit, cakes and croissants. Staff brought drinks to your table and were helpful and courteous. This is a more formal hotel, selected for its location and comfort as we were planning to celebrate our 36th Wedding anniversary on Isola Bella and Isola Pescatori. We enjoyed the peace and quiet of strolls along the lake.

As mentioned, the location was great for ferry connections and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the boats on the lake. Unfortunately, directly outside was a childrens' playground and with warm evenings we had the windows open, so their piercing screams travelled up to our room each night until around 10pm. Parking - there are parking restrictions outside the hotel due to the market traffic. Secure parking is offered but it's expensive. However we found free parking down the road on day one and left the car there throughout our stay.
