Beautiful stay

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 21 Sept 2022
Simply our favourite place on this earth. Restaurant is stunning, with impeccable service and amazing put together menu. Tasting menus as well with pairing wines makes a fun evening. The cheese trolley also makes my husband happy.
Views. Boat stop right there. Rooftop bar amazing (closed on Wednesdays)
Love our stays

    ❤Tradition, hospitality, view, delicious food and wines, lake, private beach, close to Milan and Turin, and outlets..
    I stayed 2 times at Hotel Giardinetto..
    If I have chance ı am sure that it will be 3rd,4th..
    I think Lake Orta and Hotel Giardinetto are secret places in İtaly..❤

    Spent 7 nights at the hotel. Arrived late due to a flight delay initial room over the restaurant and noisy with a limited view of the lake. Asked to change room and was given a much quieter room with a lovely lake view. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Breakfast has some variety but continental so no tomatoes, or mushrooms so heavily reliant on egg and cheese ( not sure how you would manage if you want a plant-based diet !). The hotel is remote and there are no taxis, we asked for a taxi to Orta and was quoted 50 euro return and it is only 3 miles away. You cannot walk due to busy roads so the only other this is by the scheduled boats which are only twice a day ( 0ne at 9.30 am other at 2.45 pm) and the return is 6 pm. Therefore would recommend hiring a car. Also, the hotel was busy with weddings on both weekends. On the whole, a lovely hotel and an excellent restaurant with amazing views over lake Orta.

    This is a lovely hotel located about 10 minute drive from the historic centre of San Guilio. It is a well-run, family hotel with superb facilities.

    We had a room with a balcony overhanging the lake & everything about it was superb. Some really nice touches too – for example, a ‘beach bag’ in the room kitted out with beach towels, free bottles of water on arrival & the fridge was left empty for you to put in your own wine, water etc. You can also order any extra drinks which are brought up to the room.
    There's a superb roof top bar & also a lunchtime restaurant area on a terrace overlooking the lake. The formal dining room (evening restaurant) offered excellent quality food & a more ‘a la carte’ experience.

    There is a good sized pool too, although in August most people tended to swim in the lake itself from the ‘beach area’.

    The historic centre of Orta San Giulio pretty busy with tourists so we enjoyed being 1 short drive away as it was lovely and quiet and relaxed

    Would definitely recommend this hotel for a relaxing stay on Lake Orta.

    Room tip: Rear rooms have a view over the (quiet) road. It looks like all lake view rooms have great views

    This hotel has a beautiful spot on the lake, great facilities, warm and helpful staff, and a ver good restaurant right on the lake. In addition the restaurant had safe gluten free options for one family member with celiac disease. The breakfast buffet had many tasty options and also offered lakeside dining. We enjoyed a kayak ride on the lake and appreciated kayaks being available at the hotel. It was a delightful stay.

    Room tip: Lakeside terrace is wonderful

    As a returning client I really enjoy this special place.
    It is right at the lake and the rooms are nice and the food excellent.
    The family business appreciate their customers. We were offered a ride to the bus stop since the train wasn’t running. So nice.
    This time I chose to stay for my bday.
    I was a little disappointed since the hotel did not offer a little surprise: like a dessert or a glass of champagne.
    The other things which I like to mention was that the server from the Michelin star restaurant pet a dog from a guest and did not wash her hands before returning to work. I cannot accept this behavior form a Michelin Star Restaurant! Hygiene is priority.

    Room tip: Hotel can be reached by public transport (bus/train) and ferry.
