8.0 / 10.0
The Hotel has a good location close to the sea and an excellent car park, because it was end of season their restaurant was shut, but there are some great restaurants close by. Bolsena is walking distance and definitely worth visiting. We plan to come back next May and will book this hotel again.
Bathroom was ok.

Breakfast was fantastic, and the location is the best for visiting and exploring Bolsena.
The swimming pool needed to be cleaned.

The location on Piazza Dante Alighieri is convenient to the lake, 2 lake front restaurants, and a pretty walk on a hydrangea lined street up to the walled city section. Convenient parking in a gated lot behind the hotel. Stop in front of the hotel on the piazza to checkin, drop bags, and then park. There is an elevator for handicap access, but all access to the pool is via steps.
The hotel furnishings and decor is very traditional, pretty, and the photos are representative. There is a very nice pool that has a couple umbrellas for shade.
Breakfast is provided: meat and cheese, bread, yogurt, cereal, and assortment of cakes and croissant. Coffee/tea/water. Breakfast ends at 10:30 and they will ask if it’s ok to clear food starting at 10:15, so don’t go down late.
The shower is a corner shower. Half of each of the doors on the sides (not against the wall) slide back. Some will find the entry to the shower to be small. It wasn’t an issue for us.
We will complain about the air conditioning. Where the hotel has a/c, it is not effective enough to adequately cool the rooms. There is no individual temperature control in each room, so you only get whatever temperature the hotel sets. It seems the temperature gets turned up a lot during the day (or the a/c cannot keep up with the heat during the day) and by the time it starts running at night, it is too hot to sleep. Around 8:30am we can notice cooler air blowing in the room, but it’s too little too late. At 37C outside, it was uncomfortable to sleep. Even opening the window didn’t help at night.

I loved everything about this property. It looks classier than the image. The location is amazing. Right on the lakefront with restaurants on the doorstep. This is not a lake the size of Garda etc but it is unspoilt.
The hotel is in pristine condition with a lovely pool. The images do not do it justice. The staff are excellent and attentive. They are not totally fluent in English as their guests are mainly Italian and German.
Our room had a massive balcony looking onto the lake. The room itself was a good size. I have no complaints whatsoever.
The breakfast was continental with a good selection. Some fresh fruit/berries would have been nice but that is a personal choice and not a negative.
There is a very large free car park and also an unloading zone at the front doors. Everything is thought of.
I highly recommend this hotel if you plan to visit this wonderful area. Bear in mind that Siena and Montepulciano are only 1 hours drive away too.
I have no negative comments to make about this property.

I loved everything about my stay at this lovely hotel with my water views. My room was great, breakfast was also but the standout nicest person there was the receptionist. She has great English and did everything with a smile. I’d recommend this hotel or location to anyone. I liked that as a pilgrim I wasn’t looked down on walking in hot, sweaty and dusty with my back pack.
While it wasn’t a problem for me, I thought anyone carrying weight would struggle to fit in the shower door.

The room cost was an off season bargain for a 4 star hotel on Bolsena lake. The room was spotless. I got a large bed even though a single. I'm not sure why I've read bad things about the breakfasts. It's one of the few places that have served a large amount of scrambled eggs. The room itself was very quiet. This was a Francigena rest day for me and I enjoyed it very much.
They had I stalled new floors which gave off a bit of a smell. Not horrific, and likely won't last long.

Location perfect and room was very nice on top floor so with great views over the lake.
It would have been nice to be able to use towels at the beach.

Great location on the lake, with a swimming pool. Unfortunately a downpour stopped me from enjoying that - but no fault of the hotel. Bars and restaurants nearby, very comfortable room
No restaurant onsite, but they provided a shuttle to a nearby restaurant (I didn’t try this)
Room had not been cleaned on arrival, reception lady was horrified and apologetic and immediately provided a key to an alternative room

location was excellent, staff friendly. the breakfast options were also great and onsite parking appreciated.
Our room was small travelling with 2 large suitcases however our terrace was massive and great views over the lake and behind to the old centre. We would stay here again.

We had the room with a massive terrace, even though it rained a little, we were still able to use the terrace as it was partially covered. Great location with a lovely lake view! We had an amazing stay and the terrace was worth the extra money! Staff were super friendly & helpful.
Room was a bit dated, but impact our stay in any way. Shower & bathroom a bit small, but typical of some hotel bathrooms.

The location was stunning
The air conditioning situation was appalling
It was over 30 in the day and obviously very warm in the room
The air conditioning timings are controlled by the hotel
It comes on at 3pm and is turned off at 3am
The heat in the room was not acceptable and made it impossible to stay in the room until after 3pm

location was perfect for both the waterside activities and the picturesque old town.
The swimming pool area was attractive and the hotel was spotlessly clean
the reception staff spoke good English and all the staff we met were friendly
the internal style of the hotel was very traditional which should not put you off as the hotel was well maintained and very clean.
nothing really that would put me off from staying again. Breakfast would become repetitive after a few days but that was it.

The room was nice and warm. The bed was comfy and the staff was friendly.
The bathroom was also fine but seemed a little old and it was a bit tricky to get into the shower which was directly next to the bidet. I was a little disappointed with the breakfast: they had a large buffet with bread and sweets which was fine, just the taste of the eggs with bacon seemed a little “off” for me… I would’ve expected a bit more in this regard from a 4* hotel.
