Expert Review
Origins
Built in 1918 by Admiral Francesco Capece as a love letter to his wife Aminta, this lakeside villa became a Belle Époque haven for artists and aristocrats. In 2000, the Zanetta family lovingly restored it, blending Venetian elegance with modern luxury to create today’s fairytale retreat.
Top Secret
The hotel’s signature touch: a perfectly ripe strawberry placed delicately on your champagne glass. It’s a small detail, but one that transforms your lakeside toast into something even more indulgent — a touch of romance with every sip.
The Review
From the moment you arrive at Hotel Villa e Palazzo Aminta, the experience feels like stepping into a timeless Italian dream. Greeted by the scent of blooming flowers and the sparkling waters of Lake Maggiore, you’re ushered into a world where elegance meets tranquility. The private lakeside terrace is the perfect place for your first aperitivo — a glass of prosecco with a strawberry delicately perched on the rim, setting the tone for a stay that’s both luxurious and personal.
Your room, a masterful blend of Belle Époque charm and modern comfort, offers a private balcony with sweeping lake views. A leisurely breakfast in the beautiful dining area, with panoramic views of the lake, feels like a scene from a movie.
The spa is a sanctuary — unwind in the mosaic Turkish bath or indulge in a rejuvenating massage. The dining experience is equally enchanting, with the restaurant’s refined atmosphere and exquisite cuisine that showcases the finest local ingredients. Don’t miss the private boat ride to Isola Bella, a stunning escape just a few minutes from the hotel, where the gardens and baroque palace feel like a dream.
As you leave, the memory of the golden-hour sunset over the lake lingers, making it clear that this luxurious retreat is a destination to remember.
