Be it the special welcome drink in combination with a very warm welcome, the proactive suggestions how to get the most from your stay at Lago Maggiore (e.g. by taking a ride with the hotel's own Thömus bikes) or the spa area. All this goes with a superior service - be in the recently renovated rooms or the restaurant and bar. Definitely, one of the best hotels in Switzerland with a very family-like touch. Though not inexpensive, but more than worth the money. We will for sure return for a longer stay.

Both in May and later in June I was with Trafalgar Tours (two separate tours). So altogether I stayed 4 nights at the Hotel Splendid in Baveno, Italy in 2013. I'm glad that I did, it's one of my favorite hotels in Europe. Plus, I took photos.

Very nice staff, great location and amazing view. O don't think you can get it all at one place…read more You don't even have to leave the hotel. We rented a boat and went to the lake. We found the parking space slightly tight and difficult to park. But overall we had a great stay. Very child friendly but if you're worried about noise, don't be. our room was located away from all the noise so didn't bother us at all. And if you have kids then there's a lot to do! The spa looks amazing though we didn't get a chance to enjoy it due to lack of time. Last but not least, the welcome we got for our honeymoon and the effort they put was overwhelming. Truly appreciated.

It's impressively quiet and scenic here with lake view rooms with terraces (highly recommend that upgrade). The service has been splendid all week as was the included breakfast. The staff has been accommodating and responsive each time we have called or stopped by. We checked out early in the morning, before breakfast started, and they still offered us coffee and food. The service is just above and beyond. Plus they have done a spectacular job capitalizing on the scenery with a relaxation garden with hammocks and lakeside "beach" area. My only complaint was rough access to wifi. It was slow and hard to send larger files like pictures. Otherwise I fully intend to come back someday and would plan to stay here.

Amongst many other things, we ordered the ravioli, the gnocchi and the pappardelle, all fresh homemade pasta, as well as the persico, an amazing lake fish. So fresh. The place is beautiful and the service was incredible. We're 100% coming back!

After a four hour train ride, and a short hop on a boat, we arrived in Ascono hungry. This was the…read morefirst restaurant we saw (it was directly across from where we landed and had covered outside seating with a view of the lake), and had a crowd. Long story short, it was a great choice. You'll love it! This is a traditional Italian style restaurant (Italy is about a mile down the coast), with a menu to match. I had a four item pizza - it came with each item in its own quadrant. The crust was hand tossed, had an irregular shape, and was delicious. My wife had Prescutto and melon. The ham was thinly sliced and very tasty, and the melon was very fresh and sweet. Of course we shared. Bottled water (Pelligrino) for me and a Coke for her rounded out the meal.
