“Lovely Lakeside stay in a nice apartment”
Great location, few minutes walk to the Baveno centre with ferry terminal, restaurants etc and also only a few minutes walk to a good supermarket. The apartment was really clean with a smart modern bathroom and a good size for the two of us. Being able to use the facilities of the Hotel Rigoli was great with its lakeside views and sun loungers, it also had a good restaurant (the pinsa was amazing) and luggage storage.

Residence Ortensia is about 100 meters from the lake, however it's connected to the Hotel Rigoli and you have all the benefits of the hotel which is right on the lake with a small beach and use of the hotel's loungers and umbrellas. We had the split level apartment which was lovely. Everything we needed. Great location for the town/ village centre. 5 mins walk. We would have no hesitation in going back here. Everyone working at the hotel were lovely and helpful.

“Beautiful staff and location”
The property is in a fantastic location as it is in very close proximity to various coffee shops and eateries. The back courtyard is the perfect area to lay in the sun and just chill out.

“Character apartment v happy”
I chose the flat due to having access to a beach and close to town and station. I would go again. The town is small and there is a ferry stop nearby. The flat had a good kitchen, a small balcony to sit on and space for family of 4. WiFi was fine.

“Well located, comfortable accomodation”
Ortensia apartments are part of Rigoli hotel and while the apartments are not by the lake edge, Rigoli hotel is and you have access to it. The apartment was on the 3rd floor so lots of steps. Staff helped with the bags. Bed was very comfortable. Supermarket was 400 mt. Town was close for walking to lake and restaurants. Staff were very nice. Lido bar walking distance for day beds on lake, drinks & snacks. We hope to return.

“Very bad and will not recommend or come again.”
We were very disappointed with the care we received on arrival. We did not know there were no lifts and were given a second floor apartment in Hotel Ortesia having to carry our own heavy bags after a 9 hour journey reaching at 9.30 pm instead of 5 pm due to travel chaos. At ages 71 and 67 years we didn't expect this hospitality. On reaching the room it was soo hot and there was no cooling system regulator (remote) to adjust the temperature. On contacting the reception the reception lady said that she was in bed and couldn't do anything till the next morning advising us to keep doors and windows closed! Which of course we had already done. Very disappointed indeed and uncomfortable too
