The hotel has a great view over the lake.
Breakfast was nice as was the food in the restaurant, it was good but not amazing as a lot of the other posts have suggested.
Location is ok, as mentioned it has a great view. Downside is the 30 minute walk from town and the fact that it is on a very busy road. There aren’t many walking trails and the hotel didn’t have any information on local walks, local tours and the like.
Set directly on Lake Maggiore, Villa Paradiso has free Wi-Fi with rooms in a 19th-century house surrounded by extensive parkland. It offers a lake-view restaurant and a seasonal outdoor pool.
Hotel Giardino is located in the historic town of Arona, on the western shore of Lake Maggiore. Rooms offer air conditioning, TV and minibar, and many have balconies with lake views.

Staff, Cleanliness, Comfort, Value For Money, Location - all 10/10;
Marco the Bar Man with the red watch strap is particularly helpful;
Could fairly be described as 'Cheap and Cheerful' but in reality it is actually so much better than that!
Decor of the bathrooms from the 1970's but a great modern shower and cubicle;
Nice pizza restaurant on the mezzanine floor across the car park by the train station (look for the bright green lighting);
I would definitely stay here again if re-visiting Arona;
Has this quirky sort of Twin Peaks (the tv show) vibe about it, which is part of its charm;
Located in a quiet street, just 150 metres from Lake Maggiore and near the centre, Hotel Spagna offers the perfect base for exploring the historic city of Arona. All rooms are en suite.

Very nice host, extremely helpful. Comfortable, big space, very high ceilings. Very central, close to all the good restaurants and bars. Also close to the ferries and train station. Enough coffee available.
We didn't cook, but if you wanted to, that would've been possible. Big kitchen with utensils.

We really enjoyed walking on the lakefront, though the mosquitoes (naturally) seem to love that area too. Be sure to pack repellent spray because they're pretty insistent. The outdoor market by the boat terminal was a pretty nice way to spend half an hour. On our second (and last evening), as we were walking from the city center to our hotel (by the train station) we stumbled upon an outdoor cinema which was pretty cool. One of our favorite places to eat on that particular trip was at Giulietta al Lago. The food was good, we had a table right by the lake (so we were "visited" by swans who got like 2m away from us), and the music was non-stop 80s hits which put me in the absolute best mood.

Arona is a lovely town on the South West shore of Lago Maggiore, just a nice size with plenty of restaurants and bars, many with lake views. A great location to spend a few days or longer in the region.

I had been there a few years ago and it was full of artist and artisan shops. This time is was very commercial, which for me, was disappointing The town is still beautiful by the lake and has a great piazza with entertainment.

We had two days here in February. We really enjoyed it and would visit again. It was fairly quiet which was good. It looked like it could be very busy mid-summer. The full cruise ferries were not working but the shuttle ferry to Angera was still open. We used the train to travel further north where there were other ferries to catch. Would have liked to spend a few more days in and around Arona.

Arona was a perfect destination for a short break.
Arona was a perfect destination for a short break. Just 45 minutes from Milan Malpensa, at the foot of Lake Maggiore. The old town was very pretty with good shops and great choices of affordable restaurants - we like ristorante da Aldo and L'Anticogallo. There is lots to do in the area including bike hire (we cycled up to the national park nearby) and boat trips to neighbouring lakeside towns and islands.
Although a car is helpful we found the buses and trains were good.

I was there only for a business meeting, but the short time I stayed made me fall in love with the town, the scenery and especially the people. I will surely come back one day with my family for a longer stay this region deserves.
We stayed for 3 nights. I got up in a good mood every single morning because the view out of our window over the sea was so amazing.
The room was simple but nice and clean.
The contact to the host was magnificent. She could be contacted about WhatsApp at anytime and answers always in time. Also she seemed to be really interessed that we had a nice stay - she contacted us regulary to ask if everything is alright and gaves us helpful advices for restaurants and activeties in Arona.
We are thankful for a beautiful stay!
This hotel is like a pearl, perfect view over the lake, swimming pool and the area around excellent and also nice to have a private beach.
Staff helpful and everything very clean, both the lobby and the rooms.
Shower was really good and food at the restaurant was really really good both the breakfast and the dinner, they had also a fresh orange juice and for our 12 days stay in Italy that was the only hotel who offered that for free. Bonus point for that.
This location was about 15 minutes walking from the train station, which is about 15-20 minutes to Stresa for the ferries to the Borromean Islands. The apartment is about 15 minutes from a great restaurant docked on the lake. It was called Il Battello di Arona - Piroscafo Lombardia - absolutely delicious! Also there was a grocery store about 3 minutes away that sold fresh breads, fruit and anything you might need for meals. The unit is quite spacious.
Nice location , but if you have lake view room ,,,, during reservation it was not so clear to understand this and one is thinking all rooms have lake view ... ! But not ...all... !
Breakfast is ok , dining in the hotel at the evening is maybe not a good choice , the restaurant is little oldfashioned , no vibe , good for big groups , ... dont believe food is great ...
The central location in the old town. The large apartment with every comfort including the nice breakfast. The view from the balcony was superb. We especially appreciated Gabriella and her family‘s assistance with our luggage upon our arrival and departure! It was also great to have a garage as parking in Arona is pretty crowded.
You are staying in a true place of history ❤️ Our apartments were from the 1500’s. Please see the video for the charm & unbelievable decor. The gardens go for 3 levels of lush grass, fruit trees & flowers. You really need to take a moment to smell the fragrances.
Carla is one of the most kind persons that we have ever met. We got delayed by 4 hours arriving as the taxis went on strike and we we had to find another way to get to Arona. She was kind and waited for us to arrive. Love the location as well,
Great location, a short walk into Arona along the lake with a supermarket just a short distance away. Great off street parking area. Lovely hosts happy to assist and offer local recommendations. Very clean and comfortable apartment.
The location was idyllic, the apartment was beautifully done and very clean with amazing views of the lake.Very quiet at night even though the apartment is located in the main piazza of Arona.
The hotel is a perfect location close to center. From the balcony there is a wonderful view to the lake.
The staff is very helpful and friendly.
Parking is next to hotel and usually available.
We stayed only one night. Very nice room and bathroom. Clean and comfortable. Lovely view of the lake and the sunrise from the room's windows. Very nice breakfast. Ten minutes drive to Arona.
Staff were friendly and accommodating. The hotel was small and peaceful with stunning views. A short drive into Arona, well worth a visit for the waterfront walk, bars and restaurants.
Nice room with partial lake view, our friends were given a lower floor room with almost no partial lake view. The breakfast in the hotel is excellent, and the staff extremely helpful.
Everything was perfect in this traditional family hotel.
The food in the restaurant was amazing.The facilitates were the same and even more than 4 stars hotel
