The unobstructed view from our balcony out across the southwestern end of Lake Maggiore was beautiful. We also enjoyed the breakfast of fresh pastries and other European fare. Natalino, who co-owns this historic family villa with his brother, was such an interesting person who seemed to take delight in sharing with me (in English) the history of the Villa pre–WW I, the tragic role it played in WW ll, and how his family eventually became the owners of it. Our conversation was a highlight, along with the stunning lake view, of our visit here.

Everything was open even though very little of the hotel was being used. We would have been disappointed if we could not have accessed everything, however we were treated very well

The size of the room, the view from the balcony and the overall cleanliness really impressed us.

As of tremendous stress with booking cancelled 2nd night which I found out afternoon before next day 5 hour drive to italy. As I had called and messaged in writing after call to make sure they book us parking and also upgraded for 2nd night balcony, lake view, I got an email shortly after that 2nd night was cancelled on my side. I had not seen any message from booking and called hotel, who said they were full. I immediately booked another more expensive hotel . My girlfriend who speaks Italian called hotel Rosa and was told that reason for cancellation from booking was that my credit card did not get through. I had no idea and was shocked. Why did nobody from booking call me???

The setting and grounds are absolutely gorgeous --wonderful place to take pictures of Lake Maggiore. The facilities are spotlessly clean and nice. When we were there it seemed like all of the other guests were on bus tours, so it felt like we were the only ones in the hotel during the day.

I miss some bakery that do exist but were closed. Also you can't really buy any souvenirs and not much opportunity to buy local food to take home unless you are buying the ordinary supermarket stuff.

Baveno is a very lovely place for a holiday with an amazing embankment walk.Every day I take a boat to travel to different islands and small towns.There are good restaurants but quite expensive . I saw only one pizza take away .Once we were in pub near Eden Hotel ,the food was horrible.
The public beach is small one but with bar and restaurant. Food was good.
It was too cold to swimming in the lake in the end of May ,so we went to Adventures park.The water in swimming pool was warm and surrounded with views of mountains and lake.But expensive.
I love to recommend Baveno like amazing holiday destinations.

It was fine but very quiet, with boats going to some beautiful places all day.
If you like shopping not the place to go, one small supermarket, small deli pizza take away one small gift shop. Plenty of restaurants offering various foods, not cheap but would expect to pay more when visiting popular areas like this.
Good for walking, cycling or generally chilling out. For more shops etc visit Stressa just a mile down the road.

Beautiful lakeside town, lots of lovely restaurants and bars...
Beautiful lakeside town, lots of lovely restaurants and bars right on the lake and the beach is not far from the centre. There’s a great beach bar too! Easy to reach the islands and other nearby towns by boat or train which run regularly. On a map it seems easy to walk to Stresa along the lake but I would avoid this as the road has very limited paths at certain points along the way so it’s better to go by car, boat or train.

A very nice resort city on the shores of Lago Maggiore.
A very nice resort city on the shores of Lago Maggiore. An ideal place to pass a couple of hours and have a nice lunch or dinner and a good starting point to discover the southern western shores of the lake including the Borromean islands.
Ideally located on the national road (SS33) and close the the highway (A26).

Baveno is a most beautiful location on the edge of Lake Maggiore. The boats act like local buses and make it easy to reach the picturesque Barrowmean islands. There are numerous venues for eating either in or out and the local buses run a regular service. Nearby, at Carcione, there is a cable car to the near top of Monterone and then a ski lift to the very top. Once at the summit there is a Bob Run which is very popular. The climate is apparently mild all year.
Michaela is very welcoming and kind. She provides all that you need and really takes care of her guests.
The fruits were excellent and we had food and drinks to take the breakfast in the room.
Very well decorated and clean.
Their restaurant seem excellent, unfortunately it was already full. Make sure to book a table before arriving.
The massage provided by Michaela was also very relaxing!
We really recommend this hotel. Ideal to visit Lago Maggiore, Stresa and Borromeo islands for instance.
It is a fantastically modern setting built within a rustic castle. The apartment has incredible views to the lake and all the modern amenities over two floors. There is a private, protected car park and an elevator to take you to the top. The kitchen was stocked with oils and spices and there was a starter bottle of water and some candy available. There was a washer for clothes with detergent and a washer for dishes with detergent. Baveno was only a short walk away.
The accommodation was everything we hoped for with all the facilities, including ample free parking with garage, that is needed for a perfect stay. The views from the multiple balconies and terrace were amazing! The location close to Baveno meant the lake front could be easily reached in a 15 to 20 minute walk. Dora the host was so very friendly, helpful and could be easily contacted if needed. We would highly recommend this property and will definitely return.
Beautiful apartment with a large terrace on the hill overlooking Baveno and Lago Maggiore. Good furniture, comfy bed, well equipped kitchenette, washing machine and a jacuzzi on the terrace! What else can you ask for. Host was present to hand over the keys, the surroundings are very quiet and the hike up the hill are a good exercice. A garage and 2 bikes were also made available.
Beautiful small hotel with tons of charm. We had the 2 bedroom suite with a great view over the lake and islands. The hotel is older and very nice. We had to leave early in the morning and Julio came early to give us a great breakfast and sendoff. This place is a wonderful value, especially if looking for a 2 BR suite.
-The location is perfect. You can take a stroll to the center of Baveno, and from there also access the Borromean islands with no stress.
- the flat is cozy and was clean for a 2-night stay.
- the flat has a fan and air conditioning if you are too warm.
- the flat had internet which was not listed, nice surprise.
The breakfast was amazing and the view while eating outside was incomparable. The food was so fresh and tasty, at dinner as well as breakfast. The staff was so pleasant and answered any questions we had. The price was great. I would definitely stay here every time I visited Lago Maggiore.
Gloria went out of her way to make my stay as comfortable as possible. It is walking distance to everything, the apartment is equipped with everything you can need. Thank you Gloria for a lovely stay! I will definitely be visiting Baveno, and Gloria's, again 😁
Excelent host and personnel, beautiful garden and superb view of Lake Maggiore; there's a stream flowing beneath the hotel (hence the name Ruscello - small river), which then emerges through a beautiful cascade before finally meeting the lake.
Location and view on the 5th floor was more than excellent!! Parking garage under hotel was convenient. Apartment was spacious, like a small home! Friendly staff at arrival.
Very amazing location and view from the room, nice room decoration, near from the beach and has green yard. I really love this hotel but make sure to book a suite!
