Hotel L'Approdo

We stayed at L’Approdo as a group of 10 friends and had an absolutely wonderful experience. Our group stayed in several different room types, which gave us a good opportunity to compare them. My personal recommendation would definitely be to choose a lakeside room in the part of the hotel with the elevator. The views over Lake Orta and were absolutely breathtaking and made the stay even more special. The hotel itself is beautiful. We loved the lovely gardens, the pool area, the restaurants, the breakfast and, of course, the stunning setting by Lake Orta. We also really enjoyed the wellness area, which was a lovely addition to our stay. Everything was even better than we had hoped. Although the hotel is not all new, it is extremely well maintained, spotlessly clean and clearly very well cared for. What really made the difference, however, was the staff. Every member of the team we met was incredibly friendly, helpful and welcoming. We were always greeted with patience and a smile, and nothing ever seemed like too much trouble. Being a group of 10 inevitably meant quite a few questions, requests and arrangements, and I’m sure we occasionally created some extra work! Despite this, the service we received throughout our stay was outstanding. We felt genuinely well looked after from beginning to end. One thing worth noting, especially for larger groups, is that getting around Lake Orta can be a little challenging as there are not many taxis available and although there is a ferry service around the lake, the ferries do not run very frequently, I would recommend arranging transportation in advance whenever possible. The hotel was incredibly helpful with this as well and went out of their way to help us organize our transfers and transportation. We really appreciated it. We could not have been happier with our stay. Thank you!

The hotel is beautifully situated at the lake with plenty of sunbeds and opportunities for svimming, kayaking and the like. The room was nice (garden view), spacious and the terrace very lovely. The breakfast buffet was really good and varied. We arrived on a rainy day and this was used as an excuse to close everything down - that was rather a nuisance. We couldn’t get lunch anywhere. The hotel website boasted both a pool bar and another bar with food, but because it was dripping, alas, all was closed (hint: this would be the perfect reason to stay open). We had to go out in the rain to find something. Ended up with bread and sausage from the supermarket (which was good, but still, I expected a large hotel to serve food all day). But other than that, we truly enjoyed our stay, the staff was nice and helpful. The facilities are nice and clean. I just wish it was possible to eat during the day since there is no real town nearby, just a sandwich place.

Very beautiful place to relax, clean pool, and a lake that makes it feel like you are swimming in the sea Top-notch breakfast and very kind staff Clean rooms with a lake-view balcony We stayed as a couple with our little dog I recommend it and hope to return soon! Compliments
