호텔 스플렌디드 바베노

My intended booking was at splendid hotel in lugano but once I went there I realised that it was at baveno 😅 ,so I took a taxi for 350 euro to go there . The front desk upgraded my rooms to lake views for 80 euro/night. The gym is for 12 euro /person, the breakfast is about average nothing special. The front desk are nice people but they put an extra service charge for that(optional). The view from the balcony was beautiful.

Ein sehr schönes Hotel, Personal sehr freundlich. Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt dort und können das Hotel nur weiterempfehlen.

Needs refurbishing.Lovely position but very dated and not in a nice way.Arrogant waiter in charge of restaurant who wouldn’t let us sit outside for breakfast because we were with Cunard sun we hadn’t paid enough! Would not return also lost my husband’s luggage and didn’t seem in the least bit perturbed.

The hotel property is located on the lake side just outside Stresa in Baveno. This is a big plus for the hotel since it has a decent size flat manmade beach with loungers and a private dock to swim off. Also there is no road noise since the hotel blocks it and the balconies have stupendous unobstructed views. The hotel wasn’t busy so we enjoyed our balcony without any neighbors on adjacent balconies (so no outdoor smokers phew). The room and bath were comfortably sized. However, the decor is Tony Sopranos over the top. The food we ordered from room service was acceptable, like a solid B-. Air conditioning is controlled by the main desk and our room didn’t get cool enough so neither of us had a good night’s sleep. The pool area is set aside with loungers on the lawn separated by a hedge. And we were told at our room rate, we’d have to pay 12 euros each to use the gym.

The hotel is situated on a peninsula so the views overlooking the lake are absolutely stunning. The entrance & bar area are beautiful and the reception staff very welcoming. My gluten free requirements were met for breakfast, with fruits, yoghurts, eggs, meats, cheeses & a separate GF section with bread, cereal, cake etc., just a shame there was not a separate toaster. We ate at the hotel for one evening meal, but the choice was quite limited & we felt it very expensive for the food & service received. There is no tea or coffee facilities in the room (as with many Italian hotels), but there was a cold water machine in the reception area to refill bottles. The pool, seating & deck areas were immaculate & not overly busy. Our room was clean, comfortable and a good size. The bathroom, although a little small was clean & the shower worked well. The balcony was the best part & spoiled us each morning with the beautiful vista. It was a 10 minute walk into Baveno, where we found the ferry service, boat trips, and a choice of bars & restaurants. There was also a well stocked supermarket just a 5 minute walk from the hotel. All in all it was a lovely hotel in a great location & would definitely recommend it to anyone thinking about going to Lake Maggiore. Just note the transfer from MXP airport can be quite expensive if you are getting a taxi or private car.

We had the most beautiful suite with an amazing view! Corner room with a double balcony so you could get into or out of the sun. The room was huge with lots of seating and a very nice ensuite Along with our room came 2 reserved day beds under a retractable covering right next to the lake, with of coarse amazing views. The pool was cold but still warmer than Lake Maggiore. I jumped into both! Great morning breakfast!! It was a magical hotel! I would highly recommend a visit here

We stayed for one night as part of a Tour Group and wished we could have stayed longer. We were fortunate to be allocated an amazing corner suite with a beautiful view over Lake Maggiore and a large corner balcony. The hotel decor was grand and stunning. The breakfast was delicious with a large selection. Easy walk to nearby supermarket and restaurants. Also lake front so easy access to the water for a swim if you don't want to swim in the Hotel. One of our favourite hotels we stayed in Italy on our Tour. Totally recommended

We spent 3 nights in this lovely hotel in October 2023. The view of the lake from our balcony was breathtaking. Beds were very comfortable and great staff. We did not eat dinners at the hotel because we like to explore but breakfast was fantastic.

We stayed at Hotel Splendid for 2 nights while enjoying Lake Maggiore, we had wonderful weather. This Hotel is beautiful, quite grand but in a friendly way, the interiors are classic light and airy make the most of stunning views across the lake. The reception team are very welcoming and friendly and we were greeted like old friends. They very simply and efficiently organised a private water taxi for us to tour the lake and the islands with a lovely skipper who dropped us off and picked us up as we wished. It saved so much queuing on the Islands and we could follow our own timetable. It cost €100 for the both of us and was worth it. We had dinner one night on the terrace over looking the lake which was fabulous. Beautifully presented melon and their local cured ham which was sweet and delicious. The lamb was cooked to perfection and my husband’s perch fresh and tasty. The restaurant team were both efficient but fun too. A lovely evening. Our room was one of their corner suites which was roomy, light with two balconies on the 5th floor so again wonderful views of the surrounding mountains. It had everything we needed including a welcome bottle of Prosecco. The only hiccup was a small bathroom incident when I got stuck in the toilet! The sliding doors that separated it from the main bathroom got jammed and there I was. Fortunately there was a phone on the wall so I tried enough numbers to finally attract the attention of reception who responded immediately and I was released. This clearly needs looking at and was not fixed during our stay but the Hotel from management down were apologetic, understanding and could not have done more apart from take the bathroom apart which I’m sure they will do now we have left. This was a wonderful stay in a beautiful place inside a charming and well run Hotel. Swimming in the lake was sublime, warm, calm with sun beds a few steps away from the water. If you book a suite the use of the Spa is included however at this time of year the lake is perfect plus there is an outdoor pool. Thank you Hotel Splendid.
