Residence Ortensia

A residence of apartments in period villas in Baveno on Lake Maggiore, 200 meters from the center, with parking and use of the partner hotel's beach and restaurant.

Why people love it

• Location. Guests mention the lake 100 to 200 meters away and the ferry terminal for the islands a few minutes' walk.
• Full apartments. Reviews describe spacious, well-equipped apartments with kitchens, balconies and air conditioning.
• Hotel perks. Guests can use the hotel's beach and restaurant, and one says they had privacy of their own apartment with hotel benefits.
• Clean and friendly. Recent guests call the apartments impeccably kept and the hosts very friendly.

The worst thing guests say

Recent reviews are positive. In 2022, one guest said they were accused of breaking a sofabed and that the price stated on the reservation was not honored, and another noted the website claims all apartments have air conditioning, which was not the case for them. Older reviews from 2016 to 2021 mention weak soundproofing, few kitchen utensils and a smell at the entrance in 2016.

Insider tips

• Confirm that your apartment has air conditioning.
• Ask for a lake-facing unit, since the view is limited in some.
• Dogs are allowed, so ask if your neighbor has one.
