On arrival we thought we had found a piece of paradise. The gentleman who met us told us the restaurant was closed when we asked to make a reservation. We went to the small nearby village and had an enjoyable dinner and on our return was asked by our host where we ate. We told him and to our surprise... more

Stresa has an air of grandeur gone very slightly to seed, but Villa Dal Pozzo d'Annone, a few km south, is utterly aloof of all of that. The house and rooms are extremely elegant without being overly fussy, and the service is super-friendly (very strong on local restaurant recommendations - they will steer you away from the tourist traps). The... more

We stayed at the Villa Dal Pozzo for 3 nights. We got an upgrade to an amazing room with picture-like views. The place is charming with old trees and amazing lake views. The atmosphere is very friendly yet nonintrusive - so that you can feel you're in Italy yet not on a tourist bus! The room we received was very... more

Villa dal Pozzo is an absolutely incredible establishment!. We stayed there for two days and were treated like royalty by Fernando (Ferdy) and his staff. The accommodations were sumptuous. In the rooms, fine linens, bath robes, slippers; you name it and the Villa had it. Wonderful breakfasts served, in our case, on the veranda overlooking the lake. On the grounds,... more

We spent a week touring the lakes (Como, Garda and Maggiore) in June 2008 with the last 2 nights (14 June 2008) being at Villa Dal Pozzo d'Annone and we wish it had been for longer. Firstly because we didn't have much time to explore the area surrounding Maggiore. Secondly the hotel is magnificent and we have never experienced such... more

My husband and I have just returned from a 6 night break to Lake Como and Lake Maggiore. After a disappointing start to our holiday at Lake Como (see my other reviews!), we were delighted when we arrived at the Villa Dal Pozzo d'Annone. The villa is an historic building which is still owned by Marquis and Marchioness of Dal... more

My wife and I stayed at Villa Dal Pozzo d'Annone for just 2 nights in August whist touring and would have stayed longer if we had not booked seats for the opera in Verona a day or two later. Our experience was very similar to that of Lrising and our host's hospitality was exceptional. We too stayed in the Borgo... more

We (2 adults+2 children) stayed 2 for days in july in one of the borgo suites. It was very spacious,comfortable and very elegantly decorated. We felt immediately at home, especially because of the marquis himself and his stuff, who were very helpful and professional.The surroundings were absolutely gorgeous. The location was ideal for excursions in the fantastic Lago Maggiore. We... more
