Boasting a stunning position between the mountains on one side and the Borromeo Gulf on the other, this superbly renovated hotel is set in its own sub-tropical gardens, close to the centre of Baveno. The main resort of Stresa, with its lively lanes filled with restaurants, bars and shops, is approximately 2.5 Km away. During the stay, guests can relax beside the swimming pool, overlooking the hotel¿s beautifully landscaped gardens, or they can make use of a lakeside bathing beach, just a short stroll away. An indoor heated swimming pool, solarium, Turkish bath and gymnasium are available at the Simplon¿s sister hotel, the Grand Hotel Dino, accessed by an indoor art gallery. *** The hotel will be closed for the winter season from 20/09/09. ***
