+ Clean and comfortable rooms and public areas. Hotel interior and rooms are dated but the hotel has a "old world" charm of its own that we appreciated. We loved our little balcony and view of the lake and island from our room. Lovely well kept grounds and the swimming pool and sunbathing area looked spotless - perfect for the summer months. Staff were friendly and obliging. We ate "a la carte" at the hotel restaurant on our first night and enjoyed our meal. Breakfast was good. Great location a short walk into the historical centre of Orta. Excellent value for money for an October stay with beautiful sunny weather. Would we stay here again? Absolutely :)

+ The pool, staff and restaurant were great. Walking distance to the old town and the lake.
− Its difficult to get there from the train station if you don't already have a taxi booked. Taxis are very exspensive and if you are catching an early train out of Lake Orta make sure to book in advance.
