Hotel Villa e Palazzo Aminta, Stresa, Lake Maggiore, Italy
By now you’ll know that views over Lake Maggiore and the Borromean
Islands are what really count in this part of the world, and this early
20th-century mansion does not disappoint.
Complemented by extensive
Mediterranean-style gardens, an inviting outdoor pool, small private beach, and
jetty (from which you can enjoy select watersports and boat excursions), the gorgeous
lake setting also takes centre stage at its two gourmet restaurants, the
elegant Le Isole and gazebo-style I Mori. And lying in wait beneath the property,
the unique grotta takes full advantage of its natural underground caves, its
highlights including an ice waterfall, Aromarium, sensory showers and state-of-the-art
spa treatments.
