Very beautiful hotel and location. Perfect to chill by the lake and pool and close to Orta township for a visit. Rooftop bar has a beautiful view and the restaurant is top very good. We definitely recommend the menu with the wine paring, amazing price-quality ratio!
Beautiful family run hotel perfectly located on the crystal clear Lago D’Orta. Clean spacious room and really helpful friendly staff. A restaurant and also a rooftop bar offer excellent food at reasonable prices.
We loved our stay at Il Giardinetto. The hotel is beautiful and right on the lake. We had a room with a balcony and lake view and really enjoyed the beautiful view every day for our first cup of coffee. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was clean and modern. All the staff were charming and very helpful.
We spent the night before at a hotel close to Milan airport, as we were arriving in the evening and worried about delays. Hotel Il Giardinetto arranged a car to come and pick us up the next morning and bring us to Lake Orta, which we very much appreciated.
We took advantage of the pedal boat and kayak available to rent, and also enjoyed taking the ferry, which conveniently calls at the hotel jetty twice a day.
The breakfast is very good here, but the restaurant, which is open for lunch and dinner is superb. I highly recommend this hotel - we had such a peaceful and relaxing stay here and were sorry to leave
From the moment of our arrival, everything at this hotel was a luxurious, pleasant moment. Our room was spacious enough for three, with a beautiful little balcony with a table, chairs and umbrella onto the lake. Breakfast was delicious and our steak dinner was thoroughly enjoyed. The staff were wonderful, caring and helpful as well as professional and kind at all times. The options of ways that food was served were quite fun. We also enjoyed having access to some flotation devices to use in the lake and the options of hiring a kayak, in paddle board or paddle boat as well. We will definitely return! It's good to know though that the last boat leaves the dock close by at 4:00 p.m. If you want to go to the island and do the walk of silence.
Friendly staff, great food and wonderful details, such as kettle in the room, more than makes up for the slightly dated appearance.
And there’s a public boat service running from the hotel jetty directly to the main square in Orta San Giulio - how convenient is that?
The location of this hotel is fantastic right on the lake front with a lovely pool and sunbathing area with steps to swim in beautiful lake Orta. The restaurant is very good and busy so the noise from the restaurant may be disturbing but we were ok with the balcony door to our room shut.
Beautiful location! Clean room. Great breakfast. Dinner was also good.
Negative: fridge in room didn’t work which spoiled some food. Could use some decor upgrades.
Our lake view was magnificent. Well worth the extra charge. The restaurant was top notch, gourmet. Wine selection was excellent. Continental Breakfast was very good. Staff was polite and helpful. Location to visit the sites and grab the ferries was Ok. Beautiful area. Not crowded.
A lovely hotel situated right on Lake Orta. Room had a balcony. Breakfast was plentiful. Had dinner at restaurant that overlooks lake. The food was delicious. Pool area is gorgeous. Staff very helpful. Good location to drive to San Guilia
Really nice hotel and a lovely deluxe room, with a balcony right on the lake. Breakfast is great, with good quality products - however, it's the same every day. Would be nice with some changes during the week.
Great 'beach'-area and a completely new swimming pool. We will be back! :-)

Amazing location and pool makes the room bearable
The location of this hotel is superb. The pool overlooking the lake is second to none and was worth the stay for that alone. The restaurant put on a great dinner as well. The actual hotel room was simple and sufficient, but the mattress had a really musty smell that kept me up for hours, until I used towels as a barrier to block the smell. The breakfast should be skipped as well. But oh that view from the pool!
We had a wonderful 3-night stay at this charming hotel. The lakeside position is fantastic - it’s definitely worth paying more to get a lake view room. The room was quiet & clean with a comfortable bed and good linen - I think a proper feather duvet. We had a small balcony which was good for reading. The roof-top bar served pizza and light meals. We dined in the smart restaurant one evening - expensive but a lovely treat. The staff were very polite and friendly. Parking free in the hotel car park. The pool was closed for our visit (mid-May) but there were convenient steps down into the lake for some invigorating swims. I highly recommend this hotel.

On the first night, we ate in the restaurant. The food was expensive and the portions small – very 1980’s nouvelle cuisine – style over substance. We had to return a tasteless salad and pasta that was under-cooked - it was NOT al-dente, it was undercooked! The glasses of wine were small. The waiter that served us was unfriendly and thrust the wine list across the table right in front of my partner’s face to give it to me. We had to ask for the bill three times over a period of 30 minutes. We did not eat there again. There is more choice in Orta and it’s less expensive.
The reception and bar staff were friendly and helpful.
In the dining room used for breakfast, no staff greeted us, checked we were staying or our room number or showed us to a table. They didn’t engage with clients at all. The tables were not cleared of your used cutlery and crockery after finishing a course. They just piled up unless you took them to the kitchen. Often there were no bowls at the counter for fruit salad and nuts, they had to be fetched from the other end of the dining room, where the milk and yoghurt was stationed. The whole dining experience was not great.
The location on the lake was good. Clientele mostly over 55.
Lovely hotel friendly staff and Very clean I was well looked after the staff went above and beyond I will definitely be going back oh before I forget the scenery is amazing
We stayed in The Giardinetto for two nights at the end of July. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was very good if a bit chaotic due to the large number of guests being there at the same time. Staff were kept very busy keeping everything topped up, so no complaints from us. The setting is great and we recommend having a room with a lake view. Would definitely stay again.
