We had an absolutely fabulous stay and the room, the excellent food and the wonderful staff made our stay so special. We would definitely return again and recommend highly. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. The beautiful setting is like a dream. Don’t miss having an epic tableside ice cream sundae. Great hiking trails surround the area. Thank you for an incredible experience.

A lovely hotel in a beautiful setting. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in this hotel. The staff were amazing, especially the bar and breakfast/dining room staff and the food was plentiful and delicious. Such a beautiful and peaceful setting. Within walking distance to the small village following a lakeside path but with plenty of water buses to take you elsewhere on the lake. A visit to the towns of Orta, Stresa and the small island of San Giulio a must. I would certainly recommend lake Orta and hotel Giardinetto.

We stayed here 20 years ago at the same time of year and remember it in a better way. I believe the then owner was Caterina who was hands on and a great captain of a smart hotel.

She has since retired and the current owner was not so clear or as hands on. Decor and corridors now seem slightly tired, but aren't we all?

The whole area is much busier with tourists than it was back then, so perhaps there is little opportunity to make improvements. I also feel the options are now more complex by comparison. For instance the well run restaurant provides very good food and excellent service, but the menu seems not as simple and rustic as it once was.

The new rooftop bar is meant to me relaxing but not so if you are being told where you can or can't sit. A bar is a bar. First come, first serve. So relax.

The past can be a wonderful place but it should not be completely forgotten today. However there is much that is still good so have a lovely stay.

Gem of a place, situated lakeside with pool and fabulous views across the lake from most rooms and from the eating areas. Paddle boards and pedalo available for the younger ones at little cost. Beds and rooms comfortable. One room (out of our 5) had broken air-conditioning which they could not fix but produced fans for the room and reduced the price to compensate. Could not change room as hotel full. Apart from that we all (party of 16) loved the place. Staff all very helpful and would go back. 10 min walk from Pettenasco centre and it's excellent Pizza restaurants and a supermarket.
