Villa and Palazzo Aminta

Jump to:

Villa and Palazzo Aminta is a lavishly decorated historic hotel overlooking the waters of Lake Maggiore. A highlight is the beautiful conservatory-style restaurant, I Mori, which features a huge Murano glass chandelier and offers panoramic views across the lake.

To the front of the property there’s an extensive terrace and garden complete with an excellent swimming pool, all overlooking the lake below. Across the road toward the lake, there is a second garden area complete with a small private beach, sunloungers, umbrellas, and the hotel’s private jetty. Underneath the property there is a spa complex with an amazing thermal grotto, built into natural caves.
