Villa & Palazzo Aminta Beauty & SPA: Opulence on Lake Maggiore

The Villa & Palazzo Aminta occupies a prime stretch of the Stresa shoreline on Lake Maggiore, an opulent, richly decorated hotel looking directly across the water to the fairy-tale Borromean Islands. A Leading Hotels of the World Sustainability Leader, it captures the romantic, belle-époque spirit of the Italian lakes.

The dining plays to the view. Le Isole is the gourmet restaurant, with a panoramic terrace over the lake and islands serving international and Italian cuisine; and I Mori sets Italian regional dishes in a crystal-and-wrought-iron gazebo with amazing lake views.

For a romantic, lakeside stay on Lake Maggiore, Villa Aminta is a standout.
