Hotel Florida is a 3-star property located right on the Arona waterfront, on Lake Maggiore, just a few metres from the railway station and the restaurants of the town centre. The hotel is designed for those seeking a convenient base to explore the lake’s shores without giving up direct contact with the water, since most rooms open onto private terraces.
The rooms, from the Single up to the Family Room, share a private bathroom with courtesy set and hairdryer, wardrobe, parquet flooring and a flat-screen TV; some room types offer a lake view or a view of the inner courtyard, while the largest exceed 30 square metres to accommodate larger families. Breakfast is served Italian-style.
Common facilities include a bar, TV room, 24-hour front desk, room service, currency exchange, laundry and ironing service. Location is the most appreciated feature: couples rated it 9.5, thanks to its proximity to Rocca di Angera, the Mercurago Lagoni Park, and Milan Malpensa Airport, reachable in about 30 minutes by car.
Hotel Florida offers seven room types, from the Single designed for solo travellers to the Family Room able to accommodate up to four people. All the options share some recurring features: a private bathroom with bidet, hairdryer and courtesy set, wardrobe, parquet flooring and a flat-screen TV, as well as a terrace found in almost every room type available at the property.
What mainly sets the rooms apart is the size, ranging from the 15 square metres of the Single to the 35 of the Family Room, and the view: the Double Room with Lake View is the only one offering a direct view over the waters of Lake Maggiore, while other options look onto the inner courtyard. The Twin Room is designed for those who prefer two separate beds, while the Triple and Family Rooms combine a double bed and single beds to suit groups and families looking for more space.

Hotel Florida stands on Piazza del Popolo, in the heart of the Arona waterfront, a pedestrian stretch lined with cafés and restaurants just steps from the entrance. The area retains the typical atmosphere of the Lake Maggiore villages, with the historic centre reachable on foot within a few minutes and the lakefront promenade leading towards the marina.
Arona railway station is just 900 metres away, convenient for those arriving without a car, while Milan Malpensa Airport is about 17 km away. Within a few minutes’ walk there are several restaurants along the lakefront, such as Senza Pensieri and La Sirena, as well as bars and ice cream shops for a casual break. Rocca di Angera, an imposing medieval fortress overlooking the lake, is about 1.6 km away and can be visited by boat or by car.
Nature lovers can reach the Mercurago Lagoni Park, a protected natural area about 3.2 km away, or the Bruschera Oasis along the lakeshore. In winter the area is well suited to walks along the lakefront and visits to nearby villages, while in summer the lake itself takes centre stage with boat trips to the Borromean Islands and swimming at the equipped beaches. For history lovers, the Sacro Monte di Orta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is about 12 km away.
