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.

Very central location close to restaurants and shops. Carla the host booked a table for us at Aldo's restaurant for our arrival day and the food was excellent. WiFi was reliable and kitchen well equipped with a few essentials that you could pay for at the property. There were only two of us but there is plenty of room, including an outside terrace.

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. 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 absolutely loved this property! We chose it on a whim for our last night in Italy and were so delighted we nearly extended the trip. It is immaculately clean and modern and has all the amenities and comforts one needs for perfect visit to Arona. The apartment is conveniently located (within walking distance) to the center, and the hosts were so thoughtful in providing the best recommendations for aperitivo, dinner and breakfast. The brioche at Oliver is not to be missed! The private parking behind the building is an added bonus!
Roberta is such an amazing, kind and hospitable host, couldn't agreed more with all the positive reviews. She goes above and beyond to make your time in Arona as comfortable and possible. Breakfast was prepared with such love and attention (there are sweet pastries, Joghurts, bread, butter and fruit salad served outside when the weather is good and to your room when it's cold or rainy) room was spacious, stylish, modern and clean. Plus the private parking in the hotel's yard. Great value for money! Recommended 100%.
Clean comfortable. Friendly and welcoming reception by the manager. The bed and sofa bed are both comfortable. The view out from the balcony to the neighboring courtyard and buildings is quite pleasant. Good coffee and moka and drip makers are on hand. Good bathroom design. Electic and tastefully decorated apartment. I would gladly stay here again when back in Arona. Good location where every type of store you need is next door or around the corner.
An outdated hotel but professionally managed and with a customer-oriented staff (for example: ordering a breakfast package late at night and collecting it early in the morning from the night watchman at the Reception was no problem, the attentive waitress who was preparing the breakfast room , came quickly to ask which patisserie I wanted). The reception area / lobby has very comfortable seats. Everything is neat and well polished.
A great house like home away from home, very comfortable, easy to find and Cristina communicated details before our stay very clearly and in good time. The easy and short walk to central Arona was great and the location of the house was nice and quiet despite being so central. Lovely outdoor area to relax in and the everything you could need in the house was there. Exceptionally clean throughout!
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.
Lovely hotel, I felt perfect! I highlight the exceptional cleanliness, the delicious breakfast, the promptness of the staff. Despite the small malfunction: the safe in the room was not functional, I would come back here anytime with great pleasure!
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 location was idyllic, the apartment was beautifully done and very clean with amazing views of the lake.Very quiet at night even though the apartment is located in the main piazza of Arona.
We stayed only one night. Very nice room and bathroom. Clean and comfortable. Lovely view of the lake and the sunrise from the room's windows. Very nice breakfast. Ten minutes drive to Arona.
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 ....
Amazing experience, Thanks to Donatella and the staff.
