It was a great, beautiful location. The staff were very nice. The hotel was understaffed, and was not run like a five star hotel. For example, there were not enough waiters for the breakfast. No bathrobes, slippers or hair dryer although the bathrooms were luxurious. The spa/gym did not open until 10:00. Most people exercise before breakfast. The fine dining room was exactly the sameas the (included) breakfast room with harsh overhead lighting. It was not at all inviting nor charming. Food was very good. Having the gardeners use blowers between 8:30-10:00 am was rude - they worked right under our rooms and the breakfast room. Other hotels wait until after breakfast and also use brooms close to the guest areas, not loud blowers. .It is a beautiful hotel. They need to polish up and run it like a five star. They did not have a concierge to help us see the area. Also did not have a welcome book with useful information and history of the hotel. The gym should be open early am. We really thought it was a lovely hotel - just must have caught it off season.

Staff friendly and very helpful. Beautiful location and grounds, wonderful view. Hotel conveniently situated and very quiet. Surprised that we had to go outside in pouring rain to get from the Spa to the Hotel

Attentive staff. Excellent service, food and wine. Wonderful location and views from gardens across lake. Book a balcony room with direct views over lake you won't be disappointed! Restaurant menu didn't change during the week....something slightly disappointing for a luxury hotel with masterchef dining.

We loved the quiet elegance of the hotel. The staff was unobstrusive and always gracious. They even sewed a button on my husband's blazer!!

Views over lake Maggiore and Islands. Nice village down road on lakefront (10 mins walk). Deluxe suite large and clean with balconies. The hotel lacked soul. No information available about hotel and it's history at all, shame as lovely building. As it was due to close this week, seemed to run on skeleton waiting staff who lacked motivation and at times downright rude. If you don't speak German (it is close to Swiss border) then you are generally ignored by waiting staff. Front of House staff polite though. The sun beds are small and have no cushion. No outdoor pool.

Friendliness and helpfulness of staff; relaxed atmosphere; good views Superior double room did not quite match expectations. The superior double room allocated to us consisted of a duplex. The hotel was however quick to change the room when we expressed our disappointment.

Lovely building and setting , very convenient, v good breakfast. A bit faded glory and little atmosphere. Sadly the staff seemed as if they didnt really enjoy working there but maybe they had had enough by this stage of the season.

The site next to the lake is magnificent The hotel is a little impersonal due to overstaffing, which generates a lack of focus

Situation exceptionnelle au bord du lac. Les choses sont nombreuses pour un hotel de cette classe, surtout lorsque l'on prend une Junior suite: vitres mal nettoyés, poussières sur les meubles, savon bas de gamme pour uniquement une personne (nous étions 2); très peu de personnel (pas de serviette disponible à la piscine); petit déjeuner digne d'un ibis

Les parties communes qui sont refaites avec goût et notamment ses jardins, donnant immédiatement sur le bord du lac, avec un petit ponton privé de baignade, le tout à proximité du petit village pittoresque très calme de Pallanza La décoration de la chambre était vieillotte (un des abat-jour était déchiré), les oreillers auraient été tout juste acceptables dans un 2 étoiles (durs), nous avons demandé à 22h30 un oreiller supplémentaire, et avons rappelé 3 fois, sans réponse, les numéros de la gouvernante et du manager, finalement ce'st el concierge, à minuit, qui en a trouvé un (!) Clairement le personnel (qui est saisonnier) était insuffisant et pas assez entraîné pour un 4 étoiles par ex. Au petit déj. Nous avons attendu qu'une table soit débarrassée près des fenêtres, on a enlevé les tasses, puis rien ne s'est passé un long moment, nous sommes allés au buffet, et au retour toujours rien, finalement, c'est moi-même qui est récupéré une nappe propre et des tasses sur une table en arrière pour dresser moi-même ma table, et à ce moment là seulement, on s'est aperçu du "problème" ! J'ai payé la chambre 304 € la nuit (plus 25 € pour mon chat persan, soit 329 €) et j'estime que c'était trop cher … même pour un très beau site, d'autant qu'on ne se bouscule pas dans l'hôtel, car si Pallanza est charmant, c'est tout de même minuscule et peu animé.

Purtroppo l'aria condizionata in camera non era regolabile e non si poteva spegnare. Abbiamo passato una notte quasi "polare".

Le personnel est sincèrement accueillant et sympatique, Architecture et et décoration magnifique. C'est très propre, jardin sublime au printemps, un véritable petit paradis, on s'y sent très bien, nous reviendrons. Il manque des adaptateurs européens pour les prises de courant électrique, ce qui pose des problèmes pour les ordinateurs portables et les chargeurs de téléphones. à mettre à la disposition des clients sur demande
