The building is brand new and equipped to the highest standards. The rooftop terrace is fantastic- a 360 degree view on the lake panorama. The staff is without exception welcoming, attentive and kind. Spacious and free parking. The hotel is just across the street from the boat lines leaving for the islands.

This is a friendly family-run hotel in a quiet street in Cannobio. The man who runs it couldnt speak much English but nonetheless he made us feel very welcome. The breakfast was good , our room was quiet at night and the location was excellent as it was only a few minutes walk to the main part of town and to the lake. They also serve lovely evening meals.

Fantastic location (hidden gem) overlooking the local lake, had evening meal on restaurant terrace lakeside food/service was outstanding, reception staff fantastic/welcoming (good English) excellent quality and value. Worth noting Mergozzo is slightly away from lake Maggiore but quieter more intimate and much better value. Mergozzo is a fantastic place to spend a couple of days, also good for enjoyable overnight if travelling via Simplon pass, will stay again.

FAQs about hotels in Lago Maggiore - Italy

A Breath of Fresh Air

Italy’s longest lake, Lake Maggiore lies at the foot of the southern Alps and extends into Switzerland in the north. Most of the Lake Maggiore hotels in Switzerland are in Locarno and neighbouring Ascona. Surrounded by vineyards, Locarno houses a 12th-century castle and an innovative representation of the solar system which extends as far as Tegna village.

Also in Swiss territory is Brissago, starting point for boat trips to the Brissago Islands whose botanical gardens grow coffee plants. Over the Italian border is beautiful Cannobio in Piedmont, where brightly coloured buildings overlook the small harbour.

South is Ghiffa, home to a UNESCO World Heritage-listed pilgrimage mountain. Just beyond is Verbania, a laidback city lining 2 of Maggiore Lake’s shores. Across the water, the largest of the Borromean Islands – Isola Bella – has a palace and stepped gardens offering wonderful lake views. Home to the largest concentration of Lake Maggiore hotels, Stresa is a lovely town and departure point for boat trips to these islands.

Near the lake’s southern tip is Arona, while less well-known Lake Maggiore resorts in Lombardy include Angera (known for wines and a medieval castle), sleepy Ranco, and Luino with its popular weekly market.

Booking.com has a fabulous range of apartments, B&Bs and hotels by Lake Maggiore covering all these resorts and more.

    Verbania is a really good base for a stay on Lake Maggiore.

    Verbania is a really good base for a stay on Lake Maggiore. It has 2 parts - Intra where the main ports are, and Pallanza. There are lots of boats leaving and arriving every day at Intra, both passenger-only and ferries with cars, so very useful for exploring other parts of the lake. Intra has a nice sea front and an old town with little courtyards and cafes dotted all over it. The highlight of Pallanza is Villa Taranto, the botanic gardens. Well worth a visit.

    The town Baveno is beautiful without any doubt!

    The town Baveno is beautiful without any doubt! It has nice parks, architecture and magnificent views of Lake Maggiore and the Alps. Unlike Stresa, the town is not crowded with tourists. From Baveno there is a very fast and very convenient transport to the Borromean Islands, and the port has much fewer travelers than those in Stresa. From Baveno there is transport to other beautiful towns on Lake Maggiore, such as Stresa, Verbania, Locarno, Cannobio and Laveno. If you don't speak Italian and aren't traveling by car, you should definitely visit the Tourist Information Center in Baveno, where you may get help about your trip to other towns on Lake Maggiore. Without help from the people in Information Center, you could experience very serious difficulties and waste a lot of time due to following: 1. If you do not speak Italian you may encounter serious difficulties communicating with the locals. 2. Public transport by train or bus can be very problematic. 3. A delay of 40 minutes is common for buses. Sometimes bus drivers pass some of the stops without stopping! 4. Trains can be very late or not arrive at all due to strikes, repairs or sudden changes in the schedule. 5. Baveno lacks a bus station and you can't buy bus tickets anywhere else but from the bus driver, and the drivers don't speak English and charge you extra because you buy tickets in the bus, which is a catch-22! Some streets in the town lack sidewalks, which is a problem if you're not traveling by car.

    I have been going to Cannobio for nearly thirty years it is a little gem on Lago Maggiore and is the essence if an Italian town. There are not many English or UK tourists, which makes it good to practise Italian. It sits on the lake with an amazing Sunday market and emits a feeling of comfort and home for me I should say its horrible to keep it a little secret but it is a great place to visit with amazing restaurants and good quality food with prices for all budgets and campsites too

    Lovely place!

    Lovely place! Lots to see, mooching about, & plenty of places to sit & relax. Boat trips on Lago Maggiore from the centre of the lakeside, not marked on Google Maps - easy to go to the wrong place & then nearly miss the boat. Book online or turn up to the office - a bit more expensive on board. Isola Bella has the most interesting palace. Rocca Borromea is a good climb & interesting historically, & very scenic views from there. We didn't go on the Wheel, but if we'd had time we would have. Nice aspects everywhere. Good to walk around, slowly re. cobbles (not easy with a wheeled suitcase - recommend a rucksack walking to ones hotel or apartment, or be careful walking along the road). The main shopping street is narrow & pedestrianised. Good food everywhere - nicest at the northeastern part of town, & the pizza crust at Polda is sublime. Several icecream places near the lake front shops (cross over the road as they're not actually beside the lake), vary in cost, but generally 2 scoops cost the same as 1. Vast array of flavours; we recommend the mango, melon, strawberry, & vegan chocolate sorbets, particularly the places that put choc chips in it. Prices for shopping is a bit higher than expected, but this is a holiday destination. Some of the men are really rather unnecessarily grumpy - maybe they're bored with their jobs in the restaurants & on the boats, who knows? It is September so nearing the end of high season.

    Cannero Riviera is a quiet spot on the shores of Lake Maggiore in a perfect position for sightseeing trips around the lake , including into Switzerland, both by car and by boat. It is served by a very picturesque foot passenger ferry terminal. For such a small place there are plenty of eating options including restaurants, pizza places and gelateria but limited options for shopping. However that need not be a problem as there are great weekly markets at Connobio and Luino both of which can be reached from Cannero by ferry. Can thoroughly recommend a trip to Ascona in Switzerland and the Borromean islands just off Stresa as places to visit

    Luino had some nice parts to it, but was not the most picturesque of the towns along Lake Maggiore, and there were not many tourists. It was a good base to catch the ferry( which we did most days) to different locations along the lakes. We particularly enjoyed going to Cannero (15 mins on the ferry) and had some fabulous walks on the other side of the lake. We enjoyed the Wednesday market in Luino.

    A small place by the lake, but the shore is more or less private, so you are limited to the part of the shore that is in the camp, The place has many shops, which are more or less empty or already run down, also there is only one restaurant , which is open all day, but there is a lot of traffic. Also, there is a lot of garbage on the street. In general, you get the feeling that they had big plans for tourism, but they did not succeed.

    Lesa is one of the smaller towns dotted around the lake.

    Lesa is one of the smaller towns dotted around the lake. It has a few restaurants and bars but nothing noisy. If you are thinking of using the boats and ferries to get out and about you will have to go up to Stressa or down to Arona as there is only 1 boat a day that stops at Lesa. Small lakeside promenade that is a pleasant stroll or to stop for a drink . I would recommend hiring a car as public transport is a bit hit and miss. About 20 minute drive to Arona, 10-15 mins to Stressa.

    The cost of food, drink a coffee was cheaper that Ireland. The customer service attitude of some public service workers and an odd few staff in shops left a lot to be desired, if you can't be bothered to smile at customers go get yourself a job in another field, some of them really didn't give a monkeys!
