About this property
We are on the Varese shores of Lake Maggiore, in the town of Laveno-Mombello. The Hotel il Porticciolo is located in an absolutely privileged position, perched on the rock between the hill and the lake, and from every corner of the property you can enjoy the charm of a landscape that ranges from Verbania, with the Borromean Islands, to Monte Rosa, from the center of Laveno Mombello to Monte Sasso del Ferro, from whose summit the entire lake dominates. The spaces of Il Porticciolo are distributed over 4 floors: at the highest point, the most panoramic, there is the indoor swimming pool and the SPA, recently renovated (2021); on the second and third floors there are 11 rooms and junior suites, all with a private balcony overlooking the lake; the lower level is intended for the two restaurants - La Tavola, 1 Michelin Star and l'Osteria -, the breakfast room and the cantilevered outdoor terrace, with a pier for mooring boats. The 11 deluxe rooms and junior suites – from 25 to 55 m2 – are among the most spacious in the area. The philosophy has always been to recreate a homely, warm and welcoming atmosphere, without ever diverting attention from the lake which moves slowly and placidly beyond the large windows. The large arched windows perfectly frame the colors of a landscape that changes from the blue of the water, to the green of the mountains, up to the peaks of Monte Rosa. Crossing the threshold of the private terraces, present in each room, the sounds and scents of these places complete our idea of hospitality. Wi-fi and satellite television are available in all rooms.
Couples in particular like the location – they rated it 8.8 for a two-person trip.
