A bit disappointing, staff didn’t seem to be bothered . Not a bad location but fairly unfriendly , small rooms, bar staff poor and when asked reception about snacks said we should go out as they didn’t do them when family at next table just had pizza and cheese/meat selection.
We had stayed in Lake Como previously and probably the wonderful service there meant that it was a hard act to follow but sadly this hotel didn’t even try.
Very disappointing.
Beautiful location on lake off Orta, only a short drive from Orta San Guilio. Friendly service, good food.
We dined in the restaurant for dinner one evening. The salad was not very exciting, manly lettuce and a few figs. But the main courses were excellent, and service very attentive and friendly. Breakfast Buffet was ok, not lavishing but ok.
Would definitely return for a visit.
Lovely room looking across the lake and staff were great, food was brilliant everything was lovely would stay again if traveling that way. Only negative when purchasing items instead of giving room number person should sigh receipt to save confusion when paying bill we were charged for items we did not purchased.
The Hotel Giardinetto is long established and family run. the service, staff, food and outlook were all excellent. i can't praise it enough and can recommend it strongly. We were able to take the lake ferry boat to other towns which made out stay more interesting. Out room overlooked the lake which gave us a wonderful view of the mountains and we joyed just sitting n the balcony watching the ducks and fishing boats.
Lovely friendly hotel with large menu and very good food at reasonable prices. We ate lunch and dinner on the outside terrace with beautiful lake views. Our peaceful lakeside room had a balcony and was quieter than rooms facing the road, I imagine. I used the pool and swam from the jetty in the lake. It's very easy and cheap to get the public ferry from right outside the hotel to the lovely old town of Orta San Guilia and to the island in the lake. Overall, we had a lovely couple of days here and would definitely return.
