We stayed at the Hotel Bussola for 2 nights in May and were very pleased. We had stayed down the…read morehill in a more expensive hotel, but found Bussola more to our liking. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. The hotel is comfortable, almost homey, and certainly welcoming (especially Foxy, the resident Dalmatian). Be sure to ask for room 212, which has 2 balconies and spectacular views of Lago D'Orta and the island. We had dinner there one night, which was very pleasant and reasonably priced. All in all a very nice find!
