The hotel has a great view over the lake.
Breakfast was nice as was the food in the restaurant, it was good but not amazing as a lot of the other posts have suggested.
Location is ok, as mentioned it has a great view. Downside is the 30 minute walk from town and the fact that it is on a very busy road. There aren’t many walking trails and the hotel didn’t have any information on local walks, local tours and the like.
Set directly on Lake Maggiore, Villa Paradiso has free Wi-Fi with rooms in a 19th-century house surrounded by extensive parkland. It offers a lake-view restaurant and a seasonal outdoor pool.
Hotel Giardino is located in the historic town of Arona, on the western shore of Lake Maggiore. Rooms offer air conditioning, TV and minibar, and many have balconies with lake views.

Staff, Cleanliness, Comfort, Value For Money, Location - all 10/10;
Marco the Bar Man with the red watch strap is particularly helpful;
Could fairly be described as 'Cheap and Cheerful' but in reality it is actually so much better than that!
Decor of the bathrooms from the 1970's but a great modern shower and cubicle;
Nice pizza restaurant on the mezzanine floor across the car park by the train station (look for the bright green lighting);
I would definitely stay here again if re-visiting Arona;
Has this quirky sort of Twin Peaks (the tv show) vibe about it, which is part of its charm;
Located in a quiet street, just 150 metres from Lake Maggiore and near the centre, Hotel Spagna offers the perfect base for exploring the historic city of Arona. All rooms are en suite.

Very nice host, extremely helpful. Comfortable, big space, very high ceilings. Very central, close to all the good restaurants and bars. Also close to the ferries and train station. Enough coffee available.
We didn't cook, but if you wanted to, that would've been possible. Big kitchen with utensils.

We really enjoyed walking on the lakefront, though the mosquitoes (naturally) seem to love that area too. Be sure to pack repellent spray because they're pretty insistent. The outdoor market by the boat terminal was a pretty nice way to spend half an hour. On our second (and last evening), as we were walking from the city center to our hotel (by the train station) we stumbled upon an outdoor cinema which was pretty cool. One of our favorite places to eat on that particular trip was at Giulietta al Lago. The food was good, we had a table right by the lake (so we were "visited" by swans who got like 2m away from us), and the music was non-stop 80s hits which put me in the absolute best mood.

Arona is a lovely town on the South West shore of Lago Maggiore, just a nice size with plenty of restaurants and bars, many with lake views. A great location to spend a few days or longer in the region.

I had been there a few years ago and it was full of artist and artisan shops. This time is was very commercial, which for me, was disappointing The town is still beautiful by the lake and has a great piazza with entertainment.

We had two days here in February. We really enjoyed it and would visit again. It was fairly quiet which was good. It looked like it could be very busy mid-summer. The full cruise ferries were not working but the shuttle ferry to Angera was still open. We used the train to travel further north where there were other ferries to catch. Would have liked to spend a few more days in and around Arona.

Arona was a perfect destination for a short break.
Arona was a perfect destination for a short break. Just 45 minutes from Milan Malpensa, at the foot of Lake Maggiore. The old town was very pretty with good shops and great choices of affordable restaurants - we like ristorante da Aldo and L'Anticogallo. There is lots to do in the area including bike hire (we cycled up to the national park nearby) and boat trips to neighbouring lakeside towns and islands.
Although a car is helpful we found the buses and trains were good.

I was there only for a business meeting, but the short time I stayed made me fall in love with the town, the scenery and especially the people. I will surely come back one day with my family for a longer stay this region deserves.
We stayed for 3 nights. I got up in a good mood every single morning because the view out of our window over the sea was so amazing.
The room was simple but nice and clean.
The contact to the host was magnificent. She could be contacted about WhatsApp at anytime and answers always in time. Also she seemed to be really interessed that we had a nice stay - she contacted us regulary to ask if everything is alright and gaves us helpful advices for restaurants and activeties in Arona.
We are thankful for a beautiful stay!
this was a super clean and modern vacation apartment with good appliances and well stocked with dishes, cooking pans,etc. Very spacious. Alex was extremely responsive and helpful. This is a little far from the central area of Arona and the lake, but only about a 15 minute walk. there was covered safe parking. they provided umbrellas, a nice thoughtful touch. our unit was two levels with bedroom upstairs and kitchen, table, couch and TV down. great for a longer stay.
The apartment is in a central location steps from
shopping and restaurants. A nice bakery across
the plaza. Apartment is newly remodeled and
is very clean. Two air conditioners and fans kept
us cool during a heat wave.
A balcony overlooks the lake and castle.
Great communication from the hosts and reservations
we’re complete through booking dot com.
Overall, a perfect place to stay in Arona.
This was the outstanding property of our 4 weeks of travel. Location couldn’t be bettered and the attention to detail in the property was exceptional. The quality of all the fittings, furniture and provisions was top level. The air conditioning in an extreme summer heat was brilliant. Our hosts gave us the best tips to ensure Arona and other sites on Lake Maggiore have left us with the best memories!
Wow! Nathalie has created such a beautiful space for guests right in the heart of Arona. The apartment is located on the ground floor of a stately converted villa. It is fitted with gorgeous finishes and the outdoor garden is much larger and more charming than the pictures show – perfect for a morning coffee. All in all, a wonderful stay! We can't wait to return in the summer.
It was very nice place. It was our second stay at this hotel. You feel yourself like at home. Beautiful owner who meets you and helps in any question. Everything is new and very clean. Very good breakfast. Grate place to stay! Location os in the center. And thanks to the host who explains where you can park and how to get to the hotel.
The accommodation has to be one of the best places in Arona. The room we stayed in has views of the piazza and the lake, giving a unique experience.
We could feel that the host loves what she does and wants to transmit the best experience possible about the accommodation.
It's a must-return.
The hotel and the surroundings are so beautiful close to Lago Maggiore. We only staid for one night and were very satisfied with our stay. The room was very nice with view over the lake and the bed was comfortable. We had a very good dinner at the restaurant and the breakfast was good.
Hostess was delightful and the apartment was uniquely designed and absolutely beautuful. Arona was unexpectedly a warm and welcoming place for us one night tourists, and a convenient stay just 40 minutes from MXP, where we were flying home early the next morning.
Good location as a base for trips around Lake Maggiore. Within walking distance of the Arona train station and the pier for ships. Also Arona old town. Nice apartment with big rooms. Simple check-in when you receive the code from the door through whatsapp.
Carla is one of the most kind persons that we have ever met. We got delayed by 4 hours arriving as the taxis went on strike and we we had to find another way to get to Arona. She was kind and waited for us to arrive. Love the location as well,
The room was clean and comfortable and a nice size. The shower was the best I have seen in a European hotel. And the views… absolutely amazing. The breakfast was also tasty and easy with the spectacular views. Free parking was super convenient.
I love this place , wonderful location , great breakfast and amazing staff ... been staying here for years when ever I visit Arona and it's perfect for the price ....
Location is close to Arona, although the only connection to the town is a small dangerous sidewalk. Lake view is beautiful. Free parking is convenient.
