Splendid  

Perched on Lake Maggiore in Baveno, this lakefront hotel sits within a short walk of the Baveno ferry terminal and the Borromean Islands. It’s next to a golf course and a few minutes from Villa Fedora and the Church of Saints Gervase and Protaso; Stresa is roughly 2 km away.

The gleaming pink-and-white façade leads into a chic lobby and refined lake-facing public rooms. Just under 100 rooms blend woodwork and rich fabrics; many offer balconies or mountain/lake views, minibars, flat-screen TVs and en-suite baths with tubs and bidets. Air conditioning runs seasonally and daily housekeeping keeps things tidy.

Enjoy a private beach with sun loungers and parasols, an outdoor pool set in lush gardens, and a hot tub for slow afternoons. Stay active on the outdoor tennis court or in the fitness center; sauna, steam room and massage treatments are available for a fee. Babysitting is offered (surcharge) and onsite parking/garage is available (charges apply).

A business center and seven meeting rooms handle events and conferences. Complimentary Wi‑Fi and a 24-hour front desk keep things running smoothly.

Dine in the refined lake-facing restaurant or sip cocktails at the bar/lounge. A café and TV lounge add casual options; continental breakfast is served daily (fee) and limited room service is available.
