Hotel Ristorante Al Sorriso is a family-run 3-star property located in the small village of Soriso, in Piedmont, just a few kilometers from Lake Orta and the Sacred Mount of Orta, about 11 km away. The hotel combines the hospitality of a small village inn with an in-house restaurant, a distinctive feature that makes it a point of reference even for those who don’t stay overnight.
The rooms are furnished in a simple and functional style, equipped with a desk, flat-screen TV, private bathroom with shower, linens and towels; the room type with balcony also offers more space and an outward-facing view. The property is pet friendly and provides free WiFi and private parking at no extra cost, a notable advantage in hilly areas like this one.
The location, not served by public transport, is designed for those traveling by car who want to leisurely explore the hills of Novara, the nearby lakes and the small historic centers of the area, while still maintaining an easy connection to Milan Malpensa Airport, about 38 km away.
The two room types available at Hotel Ristorante Al Sorriso share the essential elements of a comfortable stay: private bathroom with shower, flat-screen TV, minibar and bed linens provided. Both feature straightforward furnishings, designed for those seeking functionality without giving up a minimum of home comfort, with details such as a bathrobe and complimentary bath products provided to guests.
What sets the offer apart is mainly the size and the presence of an outdoor space: the Double Room with Balcony, larger at 20 sqm, is aimed at those who want their own view and more breathing room, while the Single Room, more compact at 14 sqm, is designed for solo travelers looking for a practical and essential solution for the night, without sacrificing the quality of the in-room amenities.
The largest of the two room types available, with 20 sqm of space, this room stands out for its private balcony, absent in the other option. Featuring a large double bed, private bathroom with shower and minibar, it’s the ideal choice for couples looking for their own outdoor space.
More compact than the room with balcony, this 14 sqm solution is designed for solo travelers. Without a balcony but equipped with a private bathroom with shower, minibar and flat-screen TV, it offers an essential and functional space for a practical stay.
Hotel Ristorante Al Sorriso provides guests with free private parking, particularly convenient for those arriving by car since the property is not served by public transport, and free WiFi throughout the property. The in-house restaurant, along with a bar with an in-room minibar, is one of the hotel’s strengths, which also offers a luggage storage service useful for those arriving before check-in or leaving after check-out.
The rooms are equipped with air conditioning, heating and a wake-up call service, as well as a laundry service on request. The bathroom includes bathrobe, slippers, hairdryer and complimentary bath products, details that round out a stay designed for practicality.

Soriso is a small hillside village in the Novara area, surrounded by vineyards and woods just a few kilometers from Lake Orta. Hotel Ristorante Al Sorriso is located on Via Roma, in the heart of the village, in a quiet, residential area where life follows the slow pace of small Piedmontese towns, far from traffic and mass tourism.
The property is not served by public transport, so a car remains the most practical way to get around: Gozzano railway station is about 2.3 km away, while Milan Malpensa Airport is about 38 km away. The Sacred Mount of Orta, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with its frescoed chapels, is 11 km away, and Lake Orta itself is just a few minutes by car. For those looking for a meal nearby, Ristorante il Laghetto della Gelata is just 200 meters from the hotel.
The area is well suited to slow-paced tourism, with walks among the vineyards, visits to lakeside villages such as Orta San Giulio, and trips to the Sanctuary of Boca, about 6 km away. In summer, Lake Orta offers beaches and water sports, while in autumn and winter the countryside around Novara offers charming views among the vineyards and woods sloping down towards Passo Cremosina, 4.4 km away. Mercurago Lagoons Park, about 11 km away, is another destination for nature lovers and birdwatchers.
