Hotel Alpi

Hôtel très agréable, très bien situé, les chambres avec vue sur le lac sont dotées d’un balcon. Le personnel est très agréable et accueillant, et cherche toujours à satisfaire la clientèle. Les repas que nous avons pris le soir étaient délicieux et d’un excellent rapport qualité/ prix. Si nous devons revenir au lac Majeur, nous reprendrons certainement cet hôtel. A recommander

Very friendly hotel with a personal touch - ideal for couples as well as solo woman traveller like myself. Great base for visiting and easy quick walk to the square and water taxis to other places along the lake. Good continental breakfast and opportunity for a choice of two 4-course evening meals that change every day. Good homemade food. Staff very helpful - highly recommend

The first thing we noticed on entering our 3rd floor room, was the stunning view and balcony. However, this was dampened on opening the balcony doors due to the noise from the road in front of us. Clearly the main road in the area. This will not suit people looking for a lake view + serenity. Having said this, the hotel is good value and barely 10 minutes walk to the lakeside via some lovely public gardens. A supermarket is also 5 minutes walk for those wanting to stock up for picnic lunches. It was a short, flat walk from the train station and similar into the main Bavano town. The room did not have a mini fridge. The other downside was that they switched off air-conditioning in September and switched on heating. The temperature during our stay was still high (from a Britsh perspective) and we would have enjoyed the option of aircon. Especially at night where the desire was to keep the window closed to reduce noise. We asked for, and were speedily given, a fan - which helped. Breakfast was ample and the staff were friendly. The rooms were kept clean and you could see a pride in the hotel. No tea/coffee maling facilities in the room, but this seems common in Italy from our small experience. Overall we found the hotel to be be very good value for money and enjoyed our 3 night stay.

Hotel Alpi was one of the highlights of our trip!! The hosts Paola and her brother were incredibly hospitable and went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and cared for. Highly recommend eating at their local and authentic restaurant which is on site (delicious home-made food and Paola’s cakes were the best!). They were so genuine and helped us with all of our travel plans. The place was super clean and the location and views were impeccable!! If you are in or near Baveno, you must stay here!! We can’t wait to return!!
