arrived early and were very pleased to get a room straight away as they substituted a two bedded room for a three bedded room which suited us fine. Our room no 108 had a small balcony overlooking the lake but also right on the main road so it was noisy when the French windows were open by amazingly quiet with the doors closed. A big bonus was the shared terrace (with 109) which had a relatively high wall and was thus not so noisy. The room was fair size, with big bathroom fitted out for disabled access and was very efficient in terms of hot water, lots of towels and toothbrushes with toothpaste daily! internally quiet efficient lift, lovely staff. no problem parking the car off road. wed walked the couple of minutes through a small park to the lake which was a world away from the main road. we ate in the restaurant every night and ordered from the 12 Euro menu which was amazing value but ordinary food. On the last night we went a la carte and enjoyed the weekend antipasto buffet at 7.50 Euro. however the steak main course was disappointing at 15 Euro plus 4 for veg. On the Saturday we parked the car for free in Arona and had a wonderful full day out with boat to Locarno, train - through amazing mountain scenery in Switzerland, and Trenitalia back to Arona for 34 Euro each NB it doesn't run every day so check at the tourist office (who were incredibly helpful) embarkation point not easy to locate!
