Resort Antico Verbano

Location, room space and staff

Nothing negative

We loved how peaceful this location was, and the location directly on the lake was a plus. There is parking conveniently located right next to the hotel, and the staff were quite friendly. Our room was very spacious, with lots of hangers in the closet and space for our things (handy, as we were there for a wedding). We hope to be back sometime in late summer, when we can do more swimming.

The Antico is a beautiful hotel in an incredible location. Views for days!

The shower was a little tight but that is my only complaint.

Nice hotel right by lake, nice pool, good restaurant.

Hotel is squeezed between the lake and the main road, which gets busy starting at 7am. Some rooms will hear this more than others.

Amazing location

Staff could be friendlier. When asked to call a taxi for us they said you should have asked for this the night before…

Amazing location with great facilities. Room very big with beautiful lake view.

There is no access for dog to swimmingpool area.

The view of the lake. Rooms are spacious, comfortable and overall clean.

The resort is located in Meina, a tiny village with not much around. If you’re planning to go there you should have a car, since bus taxis and trains are limited. Walking to nearby villages takes about an hour minimum. Staff could have been more friendly. We informed them in advance that we were on our honeymoon, but did not bother. Room soundproofing could be improved, since I was listening to the next room’s TV. Lastly, note that rooms are not fully-serviced, which means that there is no cleaning while you stay there.

Spacious apartment with balcony. Unfortunately the pool was out of service due to the time of year, but it looks really nice.

The bedrooms are a bit outdated and the layout of the apartment is inconvenient. Public parking was possible in April, but I don’t expect you’ll find any spaces during the high season.

The resort offers stunning lakeside views. The apartment was quite spacious and well-furnished. I particularly enjoyed the small balcony with a table and two chairs, which was perfect for reading a book while watching the sunset.

Only paid parking is available and I found the reception staff slightly rude at times.

Next to the lake side, quiet and clean.

If you look for somewhere more happening, you need to book somewhere at Arona or Stresa.

The place and the facilities were great. It had a fantastic location, comfy beds, helpful staff, was pet-friendly, and had clean facilities.

Everything was great, but some of the apartments for 6 adults are not really for 6. For 4 adults is perfect, 5 is still manageable, but 6 is a bit uncomfortable. We were staying only for 1 night so it was fine, but in a different case it would be an issue.

Lovely views. Clean accommodation.

A car is an absolute must if you stay here. The trains and buses are infrequent and therefore it is almost impossible to leave this sleepy village unless you travel early morning or late afternoon. Unfortunately the staff are not able to provide guidance on transport. Taxis are extremely expensive as they would need to come from other places to collect you. The accommodation is extremely expensive for what you get. The swimming pool and water activities were all unavailable as it was low season. We did not expect this to be the case at the end of April. The accompanying needs to specify this clearly.For the price, you would have thought that breakfast and a change of bedding and towels would be included, but unfortunately not.That said, we had a lovely stay here as a family of four but had expected more for the cost of the stay.

Hotel had very nice Italian style with clean and fully equipped rooms. Located straight on the lake made a cosy atmosphere and we could catch some sun on the garden with stunning view lake.

Wonderful, unique location on the shore of Lake Maggiore. Maurizio and Silvia were so helpful and the owner, Massimo and his family showed us how Italian hospitality should be. The restaurant serves excellent food at a good price and the view over the lake from the pool area and the rooms is without rival.

Perfect location by the lake. Very clean, and comfortable bedroom with a little kitchen and a nice little garden.

The view of Lake Maggiore was spectacular. Great location. Everything was very clean. Restaurant was very good. Staff was friendly. The bedroom and one bathroom was up a flight of stairs but easy to climb. 2nd bathroom was on main floor. Kitchen and living room had everything we needed, but a little small. We would stay there again.

About six little kids running and screaming in the hallway at 8 am. Not the fault of the property, it was the fault of the parents not controlling their children. Otherwise, everything was fine.

Beautiful location, room was huge and super clean. Friendly staff - lovely stay. Thank you!

Good locationLovely facilities but too cold to use pool while we were there

Lighting in kitchen area quite dark

The location is great: right by the lake with lake access, a few minutes from Arona, Stresa, etc. by car. The rooms/ apartments are good/ functional for families traveling with young children. We really appreciated that kitchenette/ living room, bathroom and bedroom were all separated. For us what was missing from “great” was that everything is kept quite basic, there’s not a lot of effort but into making rooms very cosy or anything like that and for the price we would have expected a bit more. The staff is absolutely fantastic & very kind. The pool is aged but still really nice.

See above

We had a 2 bedroom apartment and it was a lot bigger then expected. Great for the kids to enjoy the pool and the lake.
