A great option for the summer, when we have a comfortable area for sun bedding and swim in the lake. Lots of nice restaurants nearby. Definitely a choice for a week away from busy work routine .

“Overnight on the Lake before Heading to Milan Airport”

Discovering Lake Maggiore is closer to Milan airport than Milan itself, we found this comfortable family-run hotel to be the perfect place to relax and unwind for the last night of our vacation.

Discovering Lake Maggiore is closer to Milan airport than Milan itself, we found this comfortable family-run hotel to be the perfect place to relax and unwind for the last night of our vacation. The hotel, now 65 years old, is actually located north of Baveno, just off the road, closer to the small fishing village of Feriolo. Since there wasn’t a restaurant on site, we walked 10 minutes to Feriolo, where there are two campgrounds and a few nice restaurants right on the lake. Nearly all the hotel’s rooms have balconies overlooking the lake. Within minutes of check-in by the hotel’s owner, we had donned our swimsuits, found deck chairs, and jumped in the warm, clear lake. The next morning, the included breakfast was a extensive buffet of bread, pastries, cereals, yogurt, cheeses and coffee. After one more dip, we were off to the airport.

“Disappointed, dated hotel, could not agree with description of superior room.”

We have previously stayed in Lake Como, so decided to change location and chose Hotel Carillon. As we were there for 4 nights decided to choose a “ Superior Double or twin room” with a lake view, with a shower, TV, telephone, safety deposit box and air conditioning. I requested a “Double bed” . ... more

We have previously stayed in Lake Como, so decided to change location and chose Hotel Carillon. As we were there for 4 nights decided to choose a “ Superior Double or twin room” with a lake view, with a shower, TV, telephone, safety deposit box and air conditioning. I requested a “Double bed” . On arrival I was dismayed with the room as it appeared dated and tired. The “Double bed” consisted of two single mattresses put together and made up as single beds with one top blanket as a double. The water pressure was so poor at times we struggled to get the soap off us and was very small, neither of us being on the larger size frame. The internet was poor and quite often hit and miss if we got a connection, like going back 10 years in time despite it stating it was “ High speed internet” as a result we were using our own 4G connection. It also stated it offered “ currency exchange” when asked I was told by the owner, no they do not do this as its illegal, she went onto try and say it meant the two currency levels ? There was only 1 bin in the bathroom, non in the bedroom. The private beach, was more of a slip way for the boats, more than a private beach as few people could have really lay down on it. Our room was directly opposite the lift therefore got disturbed quite often by guests, going in and out the lift. Not the hotels fault but the people on the floor above, seemed to constantly be playing musical chairs. The safe, you had to get the central locking mechanism from reception , barely fit IPads in. Although clearly the room use to have a fridge, it has clearly been removed and although, does not state there is one, it would be a benefit to have one. Came back from a late night and the Air con had gone off, had to go looking for staff to get it restored. Breakfast was Fine and service by staff was excellent. Car park was handy, good. Slight road noise but nothing too much.
