Excellent

We were in this hotel for 4 nights. It is an ideal place to stay if you are touring the lakes in the West of Italy with a car. It is close to the highway and bordering the Varese lake. We were in room 212 on the lake side and all was perfect. The hotel has also a very nice restaurant serving first plates in a buffet style.
