Ultimate paradise
Pros:

We had the most spectacular stay at Aria as part of our honeymoon - it was utter paradise. From the moment we arrived we were greeted by the most friendly, kind staff. They took time to get to know us and made our stay extra special. Matteo, Christian, Giuseppe, Alice, all the spa staff were just fantastic. Our room was equipped with beautiful amenities and was exceptionally clean, modern and spacious. The beds and pillows were super comfortable.

Breakfast is served in the room and the selection was fantastic - special shout out the chefs for accommodating my vegan dietary needs. They went out of their way to make off-the-menu items. The spa was brilliant, with beautiful views of the lake and mountains from the sauna. The treatments were also top quality. The indoor and outdoor heated pools were great too.

We ate at La Musa one evening and enjoyed every course. The setting is quiet and intimate. I would highly recommend booking one meal there during your stay.

We will no doubt be returning! Thank you to everyone at the hotel for making our stay so special!

Cons:

Wish we could have stayed longer

Pros:

You really come here for the spa, hotel is very nice as well. Room and bathroom are great except for the cold leather couch and random red ottoman along w the weird old wood table, just a strange mix of design but if you are looking for a very nice hotel you can look past it. You need a car to eat off property. Food at hotel is excellent but other restaurants at sister property not as good. If you want something else you need to drive. Breakfast in room daily is lovely. Would recommend!

Prezzo esagerato
Pros:

Punti a favore: staff molto gentile, camera bella e spaziosa ,ristorante la musa molto buono e check in anticipato di un paio d’ore.

Cons:

Prezzo secondo me veramente esagerato (garage oltretutto non incluso) se rapportato alla tipologia di struttura , assenza di alcune amenities in camera , cuscini scomodi ma soprattutto colazione inadeguata e non all’altezza
