Hotel Villa & Palazzo Aminta

Nestled on the shores of Italy’s Lake Maggiore just north of Stresa, Hotel Villa e Palazzo Aminta is a splendid establishment with its own private beach and swimming pool overlooking the Borromeo islands.

From the impeccable service to the exquisitely designed interiors, the attention to detail throughout the property is outstanding. Lavishly decorated with Murano lamps, stunning stucco works, and refined antique furniture, its rooms and suites evoke an air of bygone-era romance and elegance. All units boast marble bathrooms equipped with luxury toiletries and large private balconies – some with breathtaking lake views.

In addition to a comprehensive range of beauty treatments, the spa features a striking natural cave with steam bath, ice waterfall, and sensory showers. The cuisine served in the gorgeous glass-enclosed I Mori restaurant is typically Italian, but the elegant Le Isole serves tasty international dishes, as well.
