We had a wonderful stay at Hotel dei Tigli in Angera! The hotel has a very authentic old time-y feel which we loved (but might not be for everyone), and what made it exceptional was the absolutely lovely staff! They made us feel so welcome and at home. The hotel has free mountain bikes you can take out during the day, we LOVED this perk it really added to our stay. Breakfast was great, a typical Italian/European breakfast with coffee, bread, cheese, yogurts etc. Thank you so much! 😊

The only downside might be the location - if you don't have a car like we did then you have to rely on the lake ferries in order to get to the more touristy villages like Stresa/Verbania etc, and the ferries from Angera are not very frequent. Angera itself is very nice and quiet, you can fill a day there with activities (like the castle) but other than that there isn't too much to do in the town itself or any nightlife

The location was ideal. Less than 10 mins from the ferry terminal and part the peaceful village. Also less than 10 mins walk to the supermarket. Also ideally located to walk to the castle. The welcome by Christina was warm, helpful and friendly which we greatly appreciated. Dense was also helpful and friendly. We liked our balcony with the vast roof top views, the castle and the lake. We also enjoyed the excellent coffee at breakfast and being able to use the kitchen fridge.

Some minor suggestions but all possible. Whilst its always a bonus to have a room fridge the performance was very average to keep contents cold. Having said that we did appreciate staff putting some contents in the hotel fridge:). The broken lounge seat on the balcony. Thankfully the 2 chairs were functional:) The dark bedroom despite all the lights being on. Another light is required.

In few words, we fell in love with Angera, because of the staff in this hotel. Imaan and Katrina who not only made us feel at home but also suggested routes and places to visit, which made us see the beauty of the town. As a family you surely need places like this, which makes you comfortable and doesn’t give you that hotel vibe.

I stayed for one night, we got nice recommendations for where to find the best Gelatto, breakfast was very nice too. Check in and check out times are strict. But they are listed on the page, thus you obviously know about them before. But if asked two days prior, they actually go out of their way too. We had an affordable pick up at the closest train station organised just two days prior as well.

The staff were excellent. The lovely receptionist helped us find a nearby restaurant which was amazing. The rooms were good and clean. Lovely location and lovely staff. The coffee for breakfast was excellent. The breakfast selection was a little poor but it was nice what we ate.

The bed cover kept coming off all night and the pillows weren't the best but it was ok for one night. The room was a little dark as it only had lamps and no main light in the bedroom.

It was small & very clean. The staff were exceptionally friendly & we enjoyed the breakfasts, the powerful shower, aircon in room & the informality.

Nothing

The location was brilliant. So central, so quiet. The staff were some of the nicest people we have ever dealt with - friendly, helpful and accommodating. They gave us a number of recommendations which truly added to the holiday experience.

Some of the decor could be classed as a little dated, but to us it just added to the charm of the place. There was no breakfast served, as shown on the website, but they did give us a croissant and coffee voucher (per person per day) and the cafe on the corner served delicious foods!

Our receptionist Ms Iman was a keen host, and nothing seemed to be too much trouble. We like the quiet and safe locality.

The shower door in our room probably needed some attention.

Elegant interior of the hotel, nice spacious room with a beautiful terrace, large bathroom, very close to the lake (even though it is in a part of the lake where one cannot swim). Nice breakfast buffet and very helpful staff.

The mini fridge didn't seem to work

welcoming, in the center of a charming village less than fifty meters from the lake, a lot of fantastic eateries for all tastes and budgets and an always smiling and available staff in an old townhouse.
