Hotel Splendid is a 4-star property directly overlooking Lake Maggiore, in Baveno, featuring a private beach and a pool with views of the mountains and the Borromean Islands. Its lakeside location, just a 5-minute walk from the town centre, makes it suitable both for those seeking relaxation and those wanting to explore the area on foot or by boat.
The rooms, spread across several categories from Classic to Presidential Suite, share a classic decor with wooden or carpeted floors, balconies and private bathrooms with courtesy sets, but differ in size, view and amenities: some junior suites and superior suites offer a whirlpool bathtub, a separate sitting area and a private terrace. It’s an interesting choice for couples, families and those seeking a higher-level lakeside stay.
Among the standout services are the Italian cuisine restaurant with a panoramic terrace, the fitness centre with sauna and the pool’s hot tub area. Baveno’s port, from which excursions to Verbania and the islands depart, is just 600 metres away, making the property a good base for those wanting to discover the lake.
The room offering at Hotel Splendid ranges from the simpler Classic accommodations, overlooking the mountains or the lake, to the spacious suites with a separate sitting area and private terrace. All room types share common elements such as a private bathroom with hairdryer and courtesy set, air conditioning, minibar and flat-screen TV, ensuring a good level of comfort regardless of the category chosen.
What makes the difference is the size, ranging from 18 square metres in the Classic rooms up to 55 in the Presidential Suite, and the view, which can overlook Baveno’s pink granite quarries, the pool or directly Lake Maggiore and the Borromean Islands. The superior suites add a whirlpool bathtub, marble bathroom and larger balconies or terraces, while the Family rooms are designed to accommodate up to three people with flexible bed configurations.
