Grand Hotel Des Iles Borromees

Grand Hotel Des Iles Borromees

10/10 Excellent
"The hotel is absolutely charming, with so many of its original period features beautifully preserved, which made our stay feel even more magical. One of the highlights was enjoying cocktails at the Hemingway Bar while listening to live piano music. The spa was wonderful, with both indoor and outdoor swimming facilities, and was the perfect place to relax. The hotel is also very well located, making it easy to explore the surrounding area. Throughout our stay, the staff were incredibly attentive and always made sure we had everything we needed. A beautiful hotel full of character, and a truly memorable stay."

"This hotel is beautifully maintained and in a great location. The staff were helpful. However, breakfast was a let down. No choices for someone who wants to eat fresh, low-carb and no pork. A selection of fruit would be great and some savoury vegetarian options."

"We only stayed one night at this hotel and left pre-sunrise, so we really didn't get the full flavor of what the hotel might have had to offer (and certainly didn't get to try their breakfast). What we did experience, however, was comfort and a friendly staff."

"We stayed in the Modern Double room & although small, it was perfect for two people. Very clean & comfortable with an amazing location on the Piazza Grande. Numerous restaurants located in walking distance. And the hotel has a wonderful restaurant right on the piazza.
