Lovely lakeside hotel and restaurant

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Sep 22, 2024via mobile
We stayed for a week in September 2024. The hotel is well run, we had a large room overlooking Lake Maggiore. The position of Il Sole must be one of the best of any hotel on the lakeside. The gardens were lovely and include a decent size pool with sun beds and umbrellas, all of which were well maintained. Good parking available. The bedroom was comfortable although a little dated. We had lovely views from the balcony and windows of our room. The food in the Restaurant is brilliant as is the service. The staff at the hotel are some of the best we have ever encountered and work together as a team to ensure you have an enjoyable stay. Ranco is a small residential village with few amenities, however, we preferred the peace and quiet to the tourist driven bustle of Stresa and other towns on the west side of the lake. Our thanks to Andrea and everyone at the hotel for making our stay very enjoyable and to Davide, the Chef, for his delicious food.

First day of holiday and I have been a bit disappointed. Some good some bad but this is not a cheap hotel so you expect only goods. The place is nice, the room comfortable, the team is friendly and professional and the swimming pool very nice. with a nice view. A sort of little paradise but two things disappointed me. My room was on the restaurant with a special event with a girl playing violin very late. Obliged to put ear plug. So for breakfast a was expecting a very nice and calm moment. Unfortunately a guy was cutting grass in the hotel garden during Breakfast time.

An amazing stay, the team were amazing from the moment we booked through to our farewell. The breakfast was tasty and so was dinner. Isolated area but perfect for us. Amazing views over lake Maggiore. Impressive facilities (but chilly for us but in summer will be great)

Room was very good and with a beautiful view. Food was good too but for me the best thing was the service from all the staff; it was very professional and considered. Perfect really. Thank you.

I would absolutely stay here again.
