Nice hotel close to Lake Orta

Nice gardens and pool area, rooms not so comfortable, very hard bed and room was hot since AC was not yet turned on for summer. The hotel is close to a main road which is good for access to Lake but too much noise in room.

Pur soggiornando una sola notte abbiamo potuto apprezzare la location e, soprattutto, la cortesia e la professionalità del personale dell’Hotel Cortese. Camera piccola ma dotata di tutti i comfort, piscina bella e funzionale. Ottima la colazione con tanta scelta di dolce, salato e frutta. Abbiamo avuto modo anche di cenare presso il ristorante, annesso alla struttura, e farci coccolare con piatti molto particolari. Indubbiamente un’esperienza da ripetere.

Très bel hôtel avec un joli patio

Très bel hôtel, avec un beau patio et un bel intérieur. Chambres confortables, manque peut être une bouilloire pour se faire un thé/café mais la salle de repos/bar est très agréable aussi. Le petit déjeuner compris est apprécié. Le système de ventilation ne fonctionnait pas assez ou nous n'avons peut être pas compris mais avons laissé la fenêtre ouverte

Top Adresse

Wir waren eine Woche im Hotel und waren von dem Hotel und Service rundherum Zufrieden. Besonders hervorheben muss ich die vorzügliche feine Küche, einfach TOP und herrliche Weinauswahl dazu. Könnte eine Michelin Empfehlung werden !!! Die Lage ist herrlich für Wanderungen in der Umgebung und bei weitem nicht so überlaufen wie am Lago Maggiore

Location molto comoda

L'hotel si trova in una location molto comoda per la visita del lago d'Orta. La piscina è di discrete dimensioni e ben orientata se si vuole prendere il sole. Il giardino molto curato fa da splendida cornice. La camera è piccola ma dignitosa, il bagno di recente ristrutturazione con una doccia spaziosa. Il rapporto tra costo camera è tuttavia sbilanciato: un po' caro rispetto ad altri alberghi della stessa categoria considerato che è tutto escluso: i teli bagno per la piscina sono a noleggio a 1,80 Euro. La colazione è molto varia ed abbondante. Il personale è gentile e presente.

Angenehmer Aufenthalt zwischen Ortasee und Lago Ma

Angenehmer Empfang trotz spätem Chek-In. Sehr freundliches Personal, das für alle Fragen bereitwillig Auskunft gibt. Das Zimmer funktional ausgestattet. Die Kissen nach unserem Geschmack zu hart und leider nicht hochwertig. Ruhiges Haus, von den anderen Gästen ist nichts zu hören. Es gibt einen Aussenpool, war aber noch nicht in Bertrieb. Das Frühstück in Buffetform ist typisch italienisch etwas kurz gehalten, jedoch ausreichend, der Kaffee sehr gut. Wir würden jederzeit wieder in diesem Haus übernachten.

Exzellente Küche mit guten Weinservice im Hotel, Reichhaltiges Frühstück mit vielen Früchten und verschiedenen Broten. Die Lage lädt zum verweilen, Wandern oder geniessen ein. Die Ortschaft Armeno ist rustikal und überschaubar. Wer Nachtleben sucht erreicht Orta oder Verbania in wenigen Minuten.

Wanderhotel in der Nähe des Lago d'Orta

Der Aufenthalt war vom Einchecken bis zur Abreise sehr angenehm, dies dank sehr freundlichem und hilfsbereitem Personal. Hilfreich war, dass zum Wandern Karten bzw. Wandervorschläge zur Verfügung gestellt wurden. Der Service war exzellent. Dank dem hauseigenen Restaurant - auch eine gute Auswahl für Vegetarier/Veganer war vorhanden - musste man das Hotel am Abend nicht mehr verlassen.
