First impression - lovely hotel. Bedroom was disappointing as it was very small and basic but the view over the lake made up for this. However, soon discovered there was no air conditioning which meant we had to leave the french doors open at night. The road was very busy during the night, so if you would rather a good... more

I read with horror the June review as I was booked in to the Beau Rivage. However I found the hotel to be wonderful, full of character with staff who nothing was too much trouble for. The rooms were spotlessly clean with a beautiful view of the lake & a minutes walk to the ferry. Although I agree there was... more

I suppose you can't have it all ways... The hotel is in a great location at Baveno, central to all activities, but it is noisy. They cater for coach parties and we were woken up every morning with the sound of coaches starting up and people vacating their rooms. Sometimes as early as 5.30am. The room we had was clean... more

I am writing this review in the hotel itself. So they obviously have an internet connection, which doesn't work in the room, but it does in the lounge. We didn't made any reservations, just spotted this hotel along our journey. We booked their suite for 3 days, which normal price is 160 Euro, but we got it for 125 Euro.... more

We had a suite, well really a downstairs bedroom with bed settee, large bath/shower, balcony with superb view of the lake and an upper room (tricky but attractive stairway) with double bed and small shower room, roof light. Impeccable housekeeping, bedlinen changed every other day, towels daily. Garden lovely rambling, well planted, up the hillside to large attractive pool and... more

If you already choose this fairy tale-like palce Baveno to spent your holidays in so the only right hotel for staying there will be Beau Rivage. In this peaceful home-like athmosphere at the Lago there's no modern hotel fitting in and although I must acknowledge, Beau Rivage is lacking some features one might find at Mallorca. It has a central... more

The hotel is very well located (centre Village, front lake with wonderfull view of the islands!!). The rate is very good and the room large and confortable. The kitchen is not bad (not a bug cloise but remenber the cheap rate that you pay!!) We will come back! dan e lara more

I went with two male friends (we are all single now), and found the hotel generally good but with one notable exception. The food was reasonably good but the portions not very large. Thankfully we were cheeky enough to ask for seconds, but it was dissapointing. Also there was not a great choice, The meat option most evenings was just... more

The problems with this hotel are simple. Firstly the lake-facing rooms get the sun all day and as there is no air-conditioning, they heat up like ovens. This could be allieviated a little by opening the windows and leaving the vented shutters closed. However, right outside is a major road used by Italian "boy-racers", noisy scooter riders and from around... more
