I will come back again. I am in conversation with Elisabetta regarding a potential corporate event
Pros:

The location is beautiful and the grandeur of the Hotel. Roberto was fantastic with Customer Service.

Cons:

Sound proofing between rooms wasn't great. Also the upholstery on soft seating needs a great deal of attention. Very old and out dated. Needs splashes of rich colour.

Pros:

La posizione. L’architettura dell’albergo. La colazione.

Cons:

I sanitari assolutamente non degni del livello della struttura e alcuni servizi quali Wi-Fi e telefono non funzionanti.
Preso atto che a breve inizierà una ristrutturazione importante avrei comunque garantito un minimo di funzionalità al bagno o avrei reso la camera non agibile.

Satisfactory experience
Pros:

The location of the hotel is quite impressive. You can have a quiet morning with stunning panoramic lake view, surrounded by a lovely garden, with city centre being 10 minutes from the hotel. Hotel provides wide range of services, being swimming pool, sauna, massage, and very lovely restaurant. Hotel staff, especially maids, are very friendly and attentive.

Cons:

Probably, 50 years ago, it was an outstanding hotel. But, unfortunately, in it's current state, it looks almost faded. You can definitely see that the hotel tried to make everything look classy. The problem is "to look classy" and "to be classy" are two different things. Most of the facilities, though looking pleasant on the first sight, are in desperate for renovation, or at least a basic maintenance. Stains on the walls, dirty curtains, cracks in ceramic and caulk residue in the bathroom leaving not the best impression even for a medium-price hotel.
Being on the top of the hill have it's benefits, but also introduces a lot of problems, especially on rainy days, if you do not have car.
Breakfast seems a bit poor, especially lacking fresh vegetables and vegetarian options.

Unaufgeregt entspannt
Pros:

Wir lieben den Charme der vergangenen Zeit und die alte klassische Art des Service. Zurückhaltend aber sehr aufmerksam. Wir hoffen, dass mit der Renovation, die ansteht, der Charme erhalten bleibt

Cons:

Die wunderbare Auffahrt und die geschützte Lage in einem wunderbaren Park mit einem herrlichen Pool.

Hoch über Varese logieren mit Ausblick
Pros:

Die Lage ist sehr schön. Das Spa ist klein und fein, leider mit Aufpreis und nur bis 20 Uhr geöffnet.
Das Frühstück ist vielfältig.
Auch das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen. Sehr pompös, aber für eine solche Adresse wäre eine sanfte bis grössere Renovation nicht schlecht.
(Dafür stimmt aktuell der Preis).
