Overrated, overestimated and overpriced. I was waken up at 5 am by the people in the room just above my head and although they were not especially noisy I could hear the "zip" of the suitcases and the noise of their every steps. Very poor finishes and very cheap design: already decrepit tiles and a bad need of a fresh... More

The hotel is located in a beautiful town. Rooms are clean and different. Full of nice details. Hotel emplacement is amazing. Superb breakfast. Wifi only on the entrance which is also really nice. "Free parking" is about 15minutes walking.. althought you can stop for a while in front of the hotel for the luggage. It's ideal for holidays.. maybe not... More

Lovely hotel in a beautiful little town. Staff/service and location faultless. Rooms are quirky and characteristic. We had "That's Amore" which overlooked the square. We did (as other people who have posted) flood the room from the open shower. However my girlfriend was to blame as she put the shower mat over the plug hole! Breakfast was plentiful and eclectic,...

Location couldn't be better. Fabulous views of the lake, island and town square. Amazing breakfasts and extremely helpful staff. Showers very quirky, but good and hot. Comfortable bed and all spotlessly clean.

Hotel Aracoeli is a great place to stay in the Italian Lakes. We also travelled to Lake Como but found that a bit too big and touristy for our liking and we enjoyed Lake Orta much more. We had a top floor room with a balcony overlooking the square with a view of the lake. The best time to enjoy... More

Ideally located in the heart of Orta San Giulio, the stylish and minimalistic Aracoeli at first seems at odds with the historic setting. But the unusual juxtaposition works; the contemporary rooms make for a comfortable and unique base to explore the beautiful town and lake. Whilst a shower, albeit a powerful one, in the middle of the bedroom may not... More

+ Nice chic hotel located at the edge of Piazza Motta. Room was nicely arranged (eg shower inside the bedroom) and ample. Bed was very comfortable. We had a small (shared) balcony overlooking the main square. Breakfast was great; you can even eat outside, under the arcades. Reception is located about 2 minutes from the hotel. Staff was friendly and... More

This hotel is situated in the beautiful San Giulio piazza right by lake Orta. Our room was on the top floor and had a fabulous view of the lake. It was very spacious, and the furnishings were an eccentric mix of Ikea/kitsch/ultra modern; the shower was particularly impressive as it was enormous and very eye-catching, and the beds were really...

The best location in town: on the small plazza just in the center of Orta. Very big and trendy rooms with a lot of innovative details in term of decoration. Good breakfast and good restaurant for diner (little bit expensive...). Don't go anywhere else if you stop in Orta.

We enjoyed our recent stay, thanks to the great staff, the awesome location and the unusual breakfast room. The showers in the rooms here, especially those highest up, are perfect representations of the unique, artsy inventiveness that one can only expect to find in Italia. We won't spoil your surprise by explaining that last comment. We traveled throughout the entire... More
