Here you stay in scenic surroundings between Lake Maggiore (17 km) and Lake Orta (about 4 km) and approx. 500 metres from Armeno town. The hotel is new and was built on the motto that only the best is good enough for their guests. Here you will find a tasteful interior of stone and wooden materials - and a judicious choice of colours that produce an effect that is most pleasing on the eye. It is an architectural gem that fully lives up to its name of courtesy and kindness Cortese.
Scenic location
The hotel is in the perfect location for exploring the scenic area by car. For example, the highest point of the Mottarone mountain is just 14 km away and from here you have the most amazing view of all 7 lakes: Orta, Maggiore, Mergozzo, Varese, Comabbio, Monate and Biandronno. You can easily reach other lake shores such as Maggiore which is magnificent, or Lake Orta which is more authentic and intimate. Malpensa Airport in Milan is just 45 km away.
