Luxury on the lake
If only the best will do, look no further than this Belle Époque mansion on the shores of Lake Maggiore. It’s part of The Leading Hotels of the World group, and often welcomes the rich and famous via its private jetty and helipad – it’s safe to say you’ll get the VIP treatment here.
You’ll find this luxurious hotel just outside the town of Stresa and comes with seriously swoon-worthy views over the water to the beautiful Borromean Islands, where you’ll find palaces and exquisite gardens. The hotel’s interiors are opulent to say the least. You’ll find antiques and works of art collected by the Zanetta family – the owners of the hotel – throughout the property. Expect grand marble columns, delicate stucco-edged ceilings, and Murano glass chandeliers.
If you’re not out exploring during the day, grab a lounger by the heated outdoor pool and take in the sweeping views over Lake Maggiore. There’s also a private beach that slopes into the lake, if you want to get even closer to the water. Fancy some added relaxation? Head to the spa for pampering massages, facials and beauty treatments, or try out the steam room, ice waterfall, sensory showers, and hot tub. Alternatively, if you’ve got energy to burn, you can work out in the gym.
A breakfast buffet is served every day, and offers a selection of fresh pastries, breads, cold meats and cheeses, and you can have your eggs made to order. The hotel is also home to two additional restaurants. I Mori comes with incredible views over the lake, and majors in traditional Italian dishes, served with flourish – think truffles grated at the table, and crêpes flambéed before your eyes. Then there’s Le Isole – a gourmet restaurant with an innovative menu focused on regional dishes. And if you’re on the hunt for drinks and snacks, I Principe Bar has got you covered.
