Hotel Ponti is a lovely boutique hotel in Angera, just across the street from the southern shores of Lago Maggiore. Four of us visited on a business trip to our local facility in nearby Taino. The hotel appears to have been put together from several adjacent buildings, leading to some interesting elevation changes and a combination of inside and outside entrances, but all within the protection of the hotel. It is nicely appointed in the rooms and public spaces in a contemporary style. The 3rd floor breakfast room (10 Euro if not included in your rate) was well stocked, and had a nice view of the lake and the park area across the street. Its floor to ceiling sliding glass opened to an outdoor dining deck, although it was a little chilly while we were there in November. There was also a rooftop deck accessed from the second floor on another section of the property that provided a panoramic view of the adjacent village area and of the castle perched on the limestone cliff just above. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the associated restaurant was also excellent. Recommended!

A completely relaxing stay. We arrived at the hotel with our car on the back of a breakdown truck after a long drive. Hotel staff could not have been more helpful unloading our luggage and helping us to the room. Unfortunately for us my wife broke her wrist during our stay and once again the hotel staff were exceptional with their support throughout our stay by looking out for her whilst I was working and also with help during conversation with medical staff on the phone. Really cant praise them enough. The hotel is very clean, restaurant food for breakfast and evening meal really nice and reasonably priced.

We stayed in the apartment next to the hotel. Spacious and modern rooms, in the bathroom and living room a knob was missing from the furniture. Bathroom with very spacious shower and washing machine. Kitchen with dishwasher and kettle. Breakfast: croissants are given per person directly from the kitchen and are really small. Variety of cakes (the chocolate one is sublime), jams and creams with bread and biscuits. Wide choice of cereals. Little fruit. We also used the restaurant for dinner and apart from a friendly waiter who took away the plates in front of my little girl, who was very slow to eat, we had a good time. The first courses always include soup, pasta and an appetizer (bresaola or caprese), while the second courses always include meat and fish. Good desserts but small portions. Starters and vegetables buffet.

he room was clean and seemed recently renovated, the air conditioning worked well, breakfast service was efficient and all staff were friendly and spoke a variety of languages, specifically French and English, but I think I also heard them speaking German. We booked the restaurant Al Storno, which is run by the hotel as a separate restaurant and it was very good - highly recommended. Disliked · The bathroom fixtures were in need of renovation, specifically the shower cubicle frame had corrosion around the metal joints and didn't easily close or open, and the wall fixtures for the shower head and hairdryer were poorly finished - lack of attention to detail. Some of the light switches in the room didn't work, but this wasn't an issue for us tbh.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise and a highlight of our trip in the northern lake regions of Italy. We had to leave the Lake Como region as we were only able to find one night for an acceptable hotel there (i.e. clean and not run down), so we drove on to Lago Maggiore hoping our newly booked hotel would be as wonderful as the pictures showed. We ended up staying two nights and we were very sad to leave onto the next portion of our trip! To put it into perspective we came from a Hilton to this hotel and while the Hilton was impressive, there was something more pleasing and charming here. It is a completely new hotel along Lago Maggiore. Having finished construction in late August/early September, they had almost no wear and tear in the hotel. It is also ideal as it is located close to a ferry location, no more than 10 minute walk. This made it ideal for visiting the other islands around the lake. Their downstairs dinning room for breakfast and dinner were absolutely amazing. I cannot say enough about the chef or the professionalism of the staff. The knowledge of their maître d' taught us so much not only about the different food and wines, but the history and culture of this beautiful Italian city. They have a roof top area for lunch and I do recommend you use it as the view is spectacular. It is a relaxing way to spend the evening. Also, as it is located right along the lake, there is a long access of walkway just on the other side of the street to stroll and enjoy the views of not only the lake but some of the islands you may visit. A good consideration when having to walk off the excess meals you are sure to delight in! If you are in the norther lake region, do make Stresa a planned stop. I believe you will enjoy it much more than Lake Como as it is far enough from Milan so that it does not suffer as much from traffic congestion as Lake Como. And if you are staying in Stresa, look no further than here.

Great location, great staff, excellent food. Garden is exceptional. Rooms were comfortable, clean and well kept. Staff in the restaurant and the bars were friendly and very attentive. The only slight criticism that you could make is that the reception is a little small with only being manned by at most 2 people.
