It is hard to find a real good hotel in Arona, Giardino is a good compromise if You do not want to stay in Stresa. Parking might be a nightmare, hotel has no reserved parking spaces - and only a limited amount of "free parking" badges. Go for the "supreme" rooms with lake view, the other rooms are very very old and impossible to keep clean. They have not been updated for 15+ years and really need renovation. The hotels restaurant is really good.

This is an older hotel in an excellent location. We had paid extra for a "partial view" of Lago Maggiore, but we must have been upgraded since we had a lovely little balcony with a full view of the lake. We really appreciated this because it was kind of cold and windy (end of November) but we were still able to enjoy the view and the sunrise before leaving for the airport to fly home. The breakfast is very nice and we were able to find free parking in one of the large lots down past the railway station, about a 10 minute walk away. As a normal hotel, this property has a full reception, and the staff were helpful in printing our boarding passes and answering our questions. The owners of this hotel should consider replacing/upgrading the showers. We enjoyed walking along the lake front and having coffee at one of the places along there. For dinner, I recommend 900 Novocento Ristorante on Corso Liberazione 28. Their food is excellent, the staff nice, and their historic dining room has a cozy fire (in cooler seasons) in a big old stone fireplace. Highly recommended.

Hôtel très bien situé sur le lac Majeur, proche embarcadère. Grand parking gratuit à 400 m de l’hôtel. Personnel très aimable, chambre correcte, fonctionnelle et bons espaces de rangement. Grande salle d’eau mais la douche est petite. Literie moyenne. Les cloisons entre les chambres sont peu insonorisées. Du choix au petit déjeuner mais le melon n’était pas mûr, le jambon très moyen et le fromage assez sec. Un bel espace pour le bar mais pas moyen d’avoir des cocktails, ils servent surtout des alcools classiques ou des soft drinks
