About the location
Baveno is a quaint town on the banks of Lake Maggiore. A few miles from larger neighbour Stresa, the town has a quiet, unassuming beauty and the kind of charm particular to Italy’s great lakes. A pretty lakeside promenade is the go-to for a cone of gelato or a coffee in the waterfront cafes, stretched between handsome villas out to a small harbour. Set back from the waterfront, the heart of the town is a little clutch of narrow, cobbled streets that emerges out onto a 16th-century square with a beautiful Romanesque church. Baveno is famous for its exquisite pink granite, with quarries that have supplied materials to some of Italy’s best-known monuments, including the impressive Cathedral of Milan. The local museum is worth a visit to learn more about the town’s claim to fame.

My husband and I spent 4 nights here on our minimoon this summer. We thought the hotel was fantastic, although the location let it down slightly for us.
Our room was lovely - very big in size, bathroom was also huge, very powerful waterfall shower, comfortable super-king size bed, blackout curtains. There was a small fridge in the room which you unlock with your hotel room key, and are only charged if you take anything from the fridge.
We had a nice sized balcony which had wonderful views of the lake and the mountains. The balconies aren't very private though; you can see into your neighbours; balconies and vice versa.
The food and drink seemed quite pricey, so we didn't buy much in the hotel.
The beach and pool were both fairly quiet during our stay in early July. There is easy access into the lake from the private beach, and plenty of sunbeds in both areas.
All of the staff were friendly, especially those on reception - thank you for the warm welcome.
The hotel is located away from central Baveno, so the walk into town is a good 15 minutes along the main road. There are a few restaurants in Baveno, although we found there really wasn't much choice. We had just travelled from Lake Garda, so we may just be comparing it to another part of Italy, but we felt that there wasn't much going on in Baveno.
Overall, if you are travelling to Baveno, we would definitely reccommend this hotel, although we wouldn't necessarily recommend Baveno.

After staying two nights in a nice but very tiny hotel, we were delighted with our splendid room at the Splendid hotel on Lago Maggiore. The room was very large, the bathroom roomy and we enjoyed a large balcony overlooking both Lake Maggiore and the mountains. We were ecstatic. The hotel grounds were lovely and the staff very professional and formal.
