Residence Alice is an aparthotel in Dormelletto, on the Piedmont shore of Lake Maggiore, with direct access to a private beach and air-conditioned apartments equipped with a kitchenette or a full kitchen.
The property offers studios and one- or two-bedroom apartments, designed for both couples and larger families, with wooden furnishings, tiled floors and private terraces or patios. Several apartments overlook the inner garden, while others feature a dishwasher and coffee machine for longer, more independent stays.
Among the shared facilities are an outdoor pool, a restaurant, a bar and a large area dedicated to sports and entertainment, with a tennis court, table tennis, canoeing and horse riding nearby. The centre of Arona can be reached in about ten minutes by car, while Milan Malpensa Airport is around twenty kilometres away, making Residence Alice a practical base for exploring Lake Maggiore, including by bicycle thanks to the on-site rental service.
The accommodations at Residence Alice range from the 20 sqm studio, ideal for two people, to the two 46 sqm apartments with two separate bedrooms, able to host up to six guests between a double bed, single beds and a sofa bed in the living room. All accommodations share a private bathroom with complimentary toiletries, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV, a coffee machine and a private patio or balcony, along with tiled floors and wooden furnishings reminiscent of a holiday home style.
What mainly distinguishes the room types is the size and the kitchen setup: from the kitchenette in the studio to the full kitchen with dishwasher in the larger apartments. Two garden-view versions also offer a terrace overlooking the property’s inner greenery, perfect for breakfast or an informal dinner after a day at the lake.
The studio is the most compact accommodation at the residence, designed for two guests: a single space with a kitchenette, air conditioning and a private patio, furnished with wooden furniture and tiled floors. It is the smallest available room type, with no separate bedrooms.
Compared to the studio, this apartment nearly doubles the floor space, reaching 40 sqm, and adds a full kitchen separate from the living room, where the sofa bed allows up to four people to be accommodated. A balcony and private terrace complete the setup.
The largest and most spacious room type at the residence, with two separate bedrooms plus a living room with a sofa bed, designed for groups or larger families of up to six people. The kitchen is also equipped with a dishwasher, a detail absent in the smaller accommodations.
Same size and layout as the standard 1-Bedroom Apartment, but with the distinctive feature of a terrace overlooking the property’s inner garden, ideal for those seeking a green corner to relax in away from the pool area.
This is the garden-view version of the largest two-bedroom apartment: the same capacity for up to six guests and the same kitchen with dishwasher, but with a terrace facing the inner greenery rather than the property’s common area.
Residence Alice offers guests a private lakefront beach, an outdoor pool with a dedicated children’s area, and large green spaces equipped with sun loungers, umbrellas and an outdoor playground. There is also an on-site restaurant alongside a snack bar for quick meals or packed lunches on request.
Sports enthusiasts will find a tennis court, table tennis, bicycle rental, excursions and horse riding nearby, while the entertainment staff organise evening entertainment, aerobics and a mini club for families with children. The property also has parking with an electric vehicle charging station, luggage storage and an ATM.
For guests with specific needs, wheelchair-accessible rooms and facilities are available, with bathrooms fitted with handrails and a lower sink, as well as 24-hour security and an in-room safe.
Residence Alice is located on Via Salvador Dalì, in a quiet residential area of Dormelletto directly facing the shores of Lake Maggiore, with private beach access. The small, low-traffic village stretches along the lakefront and is dotted with informal eateries: Pizzeria Pan Pan is just 150 metres away, Mister Fogg Pub is 200 metres away and Ristorante Ultima Spiaggia is 250 metres away, all reachable on foot in a few minutes.
Dormelletto Paese railway station is only 550 metres away, convenient for those travelling by train along the lake line, while Arona, with its historic centre and livelier lakefront, is about ten minutes away by car. Milan Malpensa Airport is around fifteen kilometres away, a useful reference point for those arriving by rental car or taxi. Parco dei Lagoni di Mercurago, a protected natural area with trails and peat bogs, is less than two kilometres away.
The area is especially suited to outdoor stays: in summer you can swim in the lake, rent a canoe or a bicycle to ride along the coast, while nearby excursions include horse riding and hikes in the surrounding woods. For history lovers, Rocca di Angera, an imposing medieval fortress overlooking the lake, is about 4.4 kilometres away and can be visited in a day together with Oasi della Bruschera, a nature reserve 3.7 kilometres away that is ideal for birdwatching. In the colder months the area becomes quieter, perfect for long walks along the lakefront.
