Albergo Ristorante San Carlo in Arona

me and my husband booked a night in the hotel then we extended to other night because of the staff 🤍 the view is amazing, special hospitality and very friendly staff, thanks for Luca and Zaira they made our trip unforgettable

Great host amazing service.

Very nice location overlooking the lake , room is little old but the price is fair. The restaurant is the gem here , very fresh ingredients with excellent cooking. The risotto was the best so far and the beef filet was amazing. All dishes we ordered were great, especially the meat and seafood. Will definitely come again for dinner / lunch.

Great location, relatively close to Arona and Meina.
Our room was not facing teh lake and was an average room, however clean and comfortable.
Breakfast good, but nothing special.
Maybe the owner could be a bit more warm and caring about guests. A smile never hurts.

The hotel has a super attractive view over the lake and is easy to find. Staff was friendly and all very quite due to it being off-season. Breakfast choice was somewhat limited but provided essentials. Dinner was delicious and service very attentive and accomodating. The room was spacious even for four and beds comfortable. All in all a very agreeable stay even though very short and somewhat confined due to bad weather.

Lago Maggiore Beauty
Great location, beautiful views, very kind staff, super-comfortable bed, all necessary amenities, world-class restaurant, free-parking at hotel.. All in all - a winner.

San Carlo Hotel & Restaurant, Arona - I have been visiting lake maggiore and in particular Arona for quite a few years as we are fortunate enough to live 2&1/2 hours away. Firstly, when you only know Maggiore as a (completely and utterly stunning!) lake, you will go to small towns around the lake which are all beautiful in their own way, but to me don’t have much real heart, variety (ALOT are very small for what to do or eat and many are very poorly served for things to do or eat in off season, aren’t served by the ferry in off season, so anytime other than mid spring or autumn there isn’t much going on in almost all the smaller towns) Also traditional shopping or the traditional promenades and cobbled streets etc are lacking in other places. Aroma surpasses all towns in my opinion around Maggiore (I haven’t investigated the North still yet!) I suspect due to the fact it is on the main train line to Milan making it commutable. Then, steep inclines around the lake = THE BEST VIEWS! no trees houses in front of you partially blocking many a fabulous view, but also when being in front of you so detracting from the views. HOTEL SAN CARLO has not one property in front of it, just trees and forest down to the shoreline; it’s views are PANORAMIC through floor to ceiling and wall to wall glass french doors, very unusual in italy as most are small openings with patio doors. It offers its own parking, and, to date, consistently the best restaurant I have still ever eaten at worldwide can you believe with the simply out of this world class of food, and to date, some of the nicest tasting wines which are superbly selected (I’m not usually a big wine drinker) There is an unbroken feeling of welcome, intimacy & care with this secret kept gem on the mountain as well which as a lady on my own makes me feel so at home really in some way when I pop here; unusually I also feel very at home popping down to the restaurant on my own too which takes a certain atmosphere and intimacy of feel for me to ever feel this is ok for me :-) Only thing I can think of is that if you don’t have a car then it’s probably not the hotel for you if it’s not just a lovely overnight stay (you could easily get a taxi from Arona station up here I suspect as must be 5 minutes only) as the very quick little pop into arona by car is what makes this hotel so fabulous being near to arona as opposed to other hotels anywhere else around the lake; you wouldn’t want to walk down to Arona from here, too far, too steep, and it’s a well used road; IF you want an historic old over 100 year old hotel (which will have small window openings to the lake bear in mind..!) this isn’t the hotel for you; what you get here it wall to wall floor to ceiling glass unparalleled views from dining and bedroom, with quirky (I’m a designer..) fabulously successful warm coloured hand finished decor with Gustav klimt artfully placed around; it has a charm and character all uniquely of its own, nestled in the most unpar

One of finest hotel in san Carlo and lake view was amazing, good food and nice hospitality, hotel sarf was very nice very friendly, morning view was fantastic we loose our heart, I love go aging

The restaurant is great, the chef is always trying with impress with bold recipes, all the dishes we have tried were outstanding. Our waiter, a very attentive 70 years young man, made our experience even more memorable. The view over the lake is unbeatable.
