What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Among the town’s more classical properties, this one takes a different approach: mirrored surfaces, brass detailing, velvet chairs in deep greens and blues…
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The lakefront promenade sits right outside, placing the historic town center and ferry departures to Isola Bella within easy walking distance.
The rooms
Full-height glazing opens onto private balconies or garden terraces, while select suites feature dedicated private wellness spaces with integrated steam baths.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated garden pool is lined with pergola cabanas, and the rooftop deck has a whirlpool facing Lake Maggiore.
The spa and gym
Themed treatment suites host aromatherapy rituals and deep-tissue bodywork. Next door, a bright fitness room faces the garden greenery.
Dogs stay too.
LeBolle Restaurant
Apulian recipes shape local lake ingredients in the dining room, and private tables sit inside transparent garden domes.
At the table
Rooftop Perlage serves sunset cocktails and aperitifs with open-air views across the water to the Borromean Islands.
How it began
Originally known as Casa d'Oro, the 18th-century lakeside villa once welcomed Grand Tour aristocrats before its revival into a modern retreat.
