Villa e Palazzo Aminta
Which is to say, a phenomenal location and an extravagant, aristocratic elegance. Not for Palazzo Aminta the beige, modern B&B Italia approach. The décor here pre-dates the Italian Republic itself. These rooms are made for luxuriating, and forget dressing for dinner — you’ll want to dress up just for a walk through the lobby. Jetted tubs are standard in the bathrooms, suites and junior suites come with lake-facing terraces, and the aforementioned Taylor suite is just one of three opulent signature suites.
The sole nod to the contemporary luxury-boutique experience is the spa, whose treatments, from hammam to aromatherapy, are state of the art. Two restaurants serve upscale Italian fare — no fusion, thank you — and golfers choose from a number of local courses. Meanwhile Lake Maggiore calls; there’s a private beach for hotel guests, and sailing excursions are happily arranged.
Please note: Villa Palazzo Aminta is open seasonally April through October.
How to get there:
Train: Stresa train station is approximately 5 minutes by taxi from the hotel.
Driving Directions from Milano Malpensa Airport: Approximately 50 minutes drive time. Take A26 in the direction of Gravellona Toce. On highway A26 exit at Arona and then follow SS 33 up to Stresa for about 18 Km keeping the lake on scenic road on your right hand side. You may also take A26 to exit at Carpugnino (forbidden to buses) where you'll find a narrow road going down to Stresa (5 Km) with a wonderful panoramic view. Otherwise you can continue going until exit Baveno-Stresa where the road will immediately reach the lakeside: you'll need to drive back to Stresa for about 5 Km with the lake on your left hand side.

Villa Aminta is a gorgeous old palatial hotel with stunning views of the Boromeo islands in Lake Maggiore. The staff was flawless in making our stay wonderful. I watched them treat all guests as VIPs and went above and beyond to make the stay wonderful. I would highly recommend this property for a relaxing get away and base to explore the beautiful islands and lake side villages.
L'emplacement, la taille raisonnable, le personnel
Muy bueno cocina y servicio
We loved the atmosphere, the very personal care of the staff, the extraordinary service, the incredible food, and our room with an extremely large private terrace facing the islands. We travel a lot but the Villa and Palazzo Aminta was from far the #1 of all.
