Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travellers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Whenever we've reviewed this hotel, whether on Booking or to friends, we keep repeating the sentence "Everything was perfect" and this sums it up quite well.
The service from each staff member was impeccable. We had booked a deluxe room with balcony and the first room we recieved was modern, with a balcony on a lower floor. We talked to the receptionist about switching rooms so that we'd have a balcony higher up and they quickly arranged this and moved our bags for us. We stayed in two different deluxe rooms with balcony and both were just like we'd imagined, with incredibly comfortable beds, great AC, a coffee machine, and housekeepers with incredible attention to detail. The staff was able to provide vegan alternatives for breakfast on short notice and we were very pleased with the buffet and its pricing.
The cool welcome drink was amazing after a long trip. Few reviews I've seen mention the table of snacks provided in the lobby, but this is such a great touch. The location is great, just a three minute walk from the ferry station in Intra, with restaurants and bars right next to the building.

We visit Intra on a regular basis to catch up with family and have stayed at hotel Ancona on each of our last 4 visits.
We keep coming back because each visit is such a pleasant experience.
You can not get a better location overlooking the lakefront and near the ferry terminal and the main square.
The rooms are generally a good size with all needs catered for.
We normally stay in the apartments which are larger but cheaper than the lakefront rooms and more suited to a longer (7-10 day) stay. Even though these rooms don’t have a view themselves you can sit out on the front patio, overlooking the lake, for breakfast and in the early evening (or anytime you want).
Breakfast is definitely a unique offering with fresh orange juice squeezing machine, blocks of chocolate, real honeycomb, as well as a good selection of more standard offerings.
All the staff are very friendly and helpful and you see the manager at breakfast most mornings checking up on how things are going.
Highly recommended and certainly better value than the bigger hotels in Stresa.

Friendly, very clean, great room & bathroom, lovely furnishings & great people offering plenty of helpful info, arranging taxis & going out of their way to make sure you have the best time.
Breakfast is very good, food plentiful, fresh & with lots of choice. Wi-Fi is great & AC in the rooms is excellent.
The front of the hotel which has fabulous views out over Lake Maggiore is positioned on a very busy, partially cobbled road. The noise from the road is constant so much so that you can’t have the windows open when you’re in the room or enjoy any time on the balcony.
The best & most expensive rooms are sadly mostly impacted by the road noise. That said the triple glazed windows block out most of the noise & earplugs complete the job to enable a good nights sleep in comfortable beds with fresh crisp cotton sheets.
Rooms at the rear may have little noise but no view.
The hotel is in a good position a few steps from Intra ferry terminal, bus stops & many good bars & restaurants. There are many fantastic places to visit nearby and good links to those at greater distance.

The hotel is very good, very nicely decorated. It is well placed because you can take the ferries and go to restaurants all on foot, it’s right next door! I don't say "excellent" because when I arrived, the receptionist offered me a lake view room for 20 euros more per night, which I refused. She then gave me this room at no extra cost. We might find that nice!! I found this disingenuous, I said to myself: luckily I didn’t agree to pay in the end…. And the lake view rooms have a pleasant view but suffer from street noise until late in the evening and early in the morning. I would have preferred a room without noise and without a view :). So much for the anecdote. Otherwise the breakfast is great and lacks nothing!!!

We are just about to leave after 6 nights here and we have loved every day. I had booked this online with lots of emails back and forward with Rababe on Reception. We finally met her and she is a beautiful, professional young woman. So helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Marco the Direttore welcomed us to his hotel and we also saw him most days at breakfast. We had Jennette, Francesa and Tania look after us each day and always with lovely smiling faces. Our rooms were excellent and Olga did a great job keeping them clean with everything we wanted. The Hotel is in the best location, great selections for breakfast and they even have welcome drinks and nibbles. We throughly recommend the Ancora hotel and we will definately tell all of our family and friends in Western Australia and hope to get back here one day. Thank you for a great stay.

A few special comments about our hotel in Verbania, Italy. The Italians pay attention to the smallest details. Our room was so well appointed, with lots of storage, solid wood doors, wood floors - very modern. The railing on the staircase was a series of intertwined snakes. The breakfast was a buffet of just about anything you could possibly want to eat, including a real honey comb and an orange juicing machine you could operate yourself. It was fun feeding it oranges!
We ate on the terrace each morning and enjoyed after dinner drinks there in the evenings. We had a great view of everyone coming and going from the ferries on Lago Maggiore.
We are forever in love with Hotel Ancora and its incredible staff.

In this beautiful Inn both modern and vintage by the lake in Intra, we are clearly looking for customer satisfaction, which is really a very good point.
Both at Reception and in the Pension more generally, the staff are friendly and willing to answer your questions and expectations.
The aperitif on arrival is a great idea, however it would be nice to be notified at check-in, as we discovered it by chance ourselves.
The little sweet welcome attention in the room was friendly, thank you.
The room was nice, rather simple, the bedding comfortable enough. the tea/coffee set convenient. We also enjoyed the bathrobes and slippers provided, a real plus to feel comfortable.
For less favourable elements:
A tiny, slow elevator... The room on the 5th floor which was not totally accessible by elevator, not ideal with all our suitcases to carry... Only 3 hangers in the cabinet, a little light... Shower soap dispenser located too high not practical, the same for the soap dispenser of the sink placed on the left, not practical either for right-handed...
In general, a very good Pension, to recommend, but whose Award remains relatively high in my opinion in view of comfort offered which still remains - objectively - rather standard. You pay everything for the beauty of the place and for the location near the lake.

This small Hotel ticks all the boxes, great views of the Lago, fantastic Breakfast, nice rooms, and fast WiFi. If you arrive by car you get a free parking certificate for the nearby (150m) public parking area. There is also a public pool (300m) close by, where you get a discount for Ancora guests. The location is what makes this hotel so special as you can walk in very close distance to shops and great restaurants. I especially loved the La Casera wine and cheese bar.. I still dream of the Gorgonzola dolce..
At last I like to mention the friendly and professional Staff and especially the manager who went out of his way to make our stay unforgettable. Next time in Verbania.. we definitely will stay at the Ancora again ( ask for a room with Balcony 😊)

We traveled as a large charity group to participate in the UTLM trail races. The Hotel Ancora came highly recommended, so we booked our entire group there for 5 nights. The experience was so above our expectations. The staff, the owners and everything about the Hotel Ancora is welcoming, warm and professional. They took care of our dietary needs with breakfast and even prepared breakfast early for our early runners. The comfortable accommodations worked well for our needs, and the location is perfect! The kindness, cleanliness and lovely atmosphere made this a trip we will always cherish and remember. I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

We stayed here for 3 nights last minute when we decided to extend our holiday. The only room available was a little small for 2 adults and a toddler but it was fine for a few days. Considering the location of the hotel we all slept fine with no disturbances, you can’t hear the road or restaurants below at all and the room is very dark when the curtains are drawn, which we all appreciated! The breakfast was brilliant and there was lots of choice and constantly refilled. The staff were also very helpful and friendly, on our final night we asked for a restaurant recommendation in the area and it was one of the best meals we had during our trip! All in all we would return for a short stay if in the area
