Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Il Giardinetto

We had a wonderful 3-night stay at this charming hotel. The lakeside position is fantastic - it’s definitely worth paying more to get a lake view room. The room was quiet & clean with a comfortable bed and good linen - I think a proper feather duvet. We had a small balcony which was good for reading. The roof-top bar served pizza and light meals. We dined in the smart restaurant one evening - expensive but a lovely treat. The staff were very polite and friendly. Parking free in the hotel car park. The pool was closed for our visit (mid-May) but there were convenient steps down into the lake for some invigorating swims. I highly recommend this hotel.

very confortable excellent view

Very nice location right at the lake with dining at the water. Will definitely be using it again

Lovely hotel right on Lake Orta. Private beach/deck area from which we swum in the lake. Pool area lovely too.

The location of this hotel is superb. The pool overlooking the lake is second to none and was worth the stay for that alone. The restaurant put on a great dinner as well. The actual hotel room was simple and sufficient, but the mattress had a really musty smell that kept me up for hours, until I used towels as a barrier to block the smell. The breakfast should be skipped as well. But oh that view from the pool!

A lovely hotel situated right on Lake Orta. Room had a balcony. Breakfast was plentiful. Had dinner at restaurant that overlooks lake. The food was delicious. Pool area is gorgeous. Staff very helpful. Good location to drive to San Guilia

Lovely lakeside setting. Staff very friendly and helpful, especially the ladies working reception.

Perfect location, lovely room with a wonderful view. Excellent food and very helpful staff. Highly recommended and will definitely return.

Nice hotel with amazing view and great staff on the lake D'Orta.

The hotel is set in a beautiful location,right on the shore of lake Orta. We had a room overlooking the lake that gave spectacular views . All of the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again at the hotel.

We had a lovely one night stay before heading to Malpensa, which was about 1 1/2 hours away. The hotel is right on the lake, we didn't get lake view rooms as they were full but the restaurant has a lovely view. There is a good pool (unheated) but most guests swam in the lake from the decking. An added bonus was the pedallo and canoes which were available to rent at a very reasonable Euro 10/hr.

This hotel was a little slice of paradise. The view from the room was beautiful and the restaurant and rooftop bar were excellent. Get the lakefront room. The rooms are basic but clean and sufficient.

Quick overnight stop. Lovely location and great roof bar. Decent restaurant.

The large room was amazing, looking out onto Lake Orta. Plenty of storage space. Really pleased that there were a fridge, safe (altho I failed to master it after many tries) & a kettle. The bathroom looked smart, the shower was good. The 'modern' sink didnt have plug, weird, so couldn't wash 'smalls'. The fan was the loudest I've ever encountered in a hotel bathroom. Parking a nightmare

Very relaxing old world service, not fancy but we love it.

Nice hotel on the lake.the view is breathtaking . enjoed 3 night stay and i think it was long enouh for ocober.

A very welcoming, extremely well located hotel in one of the most beautiful locations in Italy. I could have stayed here for weeks exploring the region, and this hotel would have been a terrific base. Great range of meals, wines, a bar and heaps of amenities. Staff never tire of offering good local advice.

Chosen for its relaxing atmosphere. The staff were wonderful, so helpful and we would certainly go back there again but ask for a room with a balcony as apart from the bed we had nowhere to sit.

We stayed here 6 years ago and came again as we had loved it so much. It is still a lovely hotel perfectly placed at the side of the lake. It's position is magical. However this year it was spoilt by the room we were given. It was drab, dark with no balcony and overlooked a roof. We asked to change it but hotel was full that day but they did arrange to change it for the next day. The new room was so much better light, airy and a balcony. I would definetly book a lake view next time just to make sure you get a decent room and not leave it to chance. However it did not spoil our experience. The staff are helpful. Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the lake is wonderful. Dinner in the evening varied. The sea bass for 2 was delicious. Pea risotto with prawns not quite so. Duck was delicious. There is a lounge but during our stay not many people used it.

welcoming staff,excellent food both at breafast and dinner. Very good location.Room a bit small(corner room) but overlooking lake. Parking sometimes awkward. (at busy times)The surface of the car park could also be improved.Despite this I would return.
