Hotel Alpi is a 3-star hotel in Baveno, on the shores of Lake Maggiore, in the heart of the Borromeo Gulf, run by the Rabaioli family for about forty years.
The property, fully renovated in 2004, is a short walk from the town centre and the boat pier for the Borromean Islands – Isola Bella, Isola Madre and Isola Pescatori – while Baveno railway station is about 400 metres away. Facing the hotel is the park of Villa Fedora, which inspired the opera of the same name by Umberto Giordano, and crossing it leads directly to the town’s public beach.
The rooms, split between double options and one triple, offer air conditioning, a safe, a flat-screen satellite TV and a private bathroom with courtesy set; some enjoy a direct view of the lake. Breakfast is served with continental, Italian, buffet and gluten-free options.
The family atmosphere goes hand in hand with services designed both for business travellers and for those seeking relaxing days by the lake, thanks to a garden, a sun terrace, bike rental and the possibility of excursions in the surrounding area.
The rooms at Hotel Alpi are divided into three main types, all equipped with air conditioning, a safe, a flat-screen satellite TV and a private bathroom with courtesy set and hairdryer. The two Double Room/Twin Room versions, at 17 square metres, allow guests to choose between a large double bed or two single beds, to be communicated at the time of booking; one of the two also enjoys a direct view of Lake Maggiore, ideal for those who don’t want to miss out on the view during their stay.
For larger groups, the Triple Room is available, at 21 square metres, with a single bed and a large double bed, designed to accommodate up to three people while still offering the same comfort features as the other room types.
The Double Room/Twin Room covers 17 square metres and offers the flexibility of choosing between a large double bed or two single beds, with the preference to be communicated at the time of booking. It features a safe, a flat-screen satellite TV and a private bathroom with courtesy set and hairdryer, without a direct lake view.
Identical in size and bed configuration to the previous room, this 17-square-metre room stands out for its view of Lake Maggiore, enjoyed directly from inside. It also includes a safe, a flat-screen satellite TV and a private bathroom with courtesy set.
At 21 square metres, the Triple Room is the largest of the available room types and the only one designed to accommodate up to three people, thanks to a single bed paired with a large double bed. Air conditioning, a safe and a private bathroom are also guaranteed here.
Hotel Alpi provides guests with free WiFi throughout the building, air conditioning and heating, as well as a lift and soundproofed rooms on request. Private parking is free, a convenience that shouldn’t be taken for granted for those arriving by car on the shores of Lake Maggiore.
The on-site restaurant and bar are complemented by a coffee shop service, with menus for special diets available on request and the option to enjoy wine and champagne. Outside, guests will find a garden, a sun terrace and the possibility of renting bicycles to explore the area or take part in organised excursions and tours.
Additional services include luggage storage, a safe at reception, 24-hour security with CCTV cameras in common areas, and rooms and facilities designed for guests with disabilities.
Hotel Alpi is located in the Oltrefiume area of Baveno, one of the villages overlooking the Borromeo Gulf of Lake Maggiore. Facing the property is the park of Villa Fedora, which gave its name to the opera by Umberto Giordano, and which leads directly to the town’s public beach, very popular during the summer months. Baveno’s town centre, with its shops and the boat pier for the Borromean Islands, can be reached in a few minutes on foot.
Those travelling by train will find Baveno railway station about 400 metres from the hotel, while Stresa station is about 4 km away and offers more frequent connections towards Milan and the Swiss border. Milan Malpensa Airport is about 33 km away, just under an hour by car. For dining outside the hotel, La Trappola restaurant is about 250 metres away and Lido is about 150 metres away, both convenient for dinner without needing a car.
Ferries to Isola Bella, Isola Madre and Isola Pescatori, the three Borromean Islands that remain the area’s main attraction in spring and summer, depart from Baveno’s pier. Nearby are also the Villa Pallavicino Park, about 5 km away, and the Villa Taranto Botanical Gardens, both suitable for a half-day trip. For those who enjoy walking, Val Grande National Park, one of Europe’s largest wilderness areas, is about 9 km away and is a popular destination for excursions especially in the cooler months, when summer heat makes the higher trails less comfortable.
