1. Grand Hôtel des Iles Borromées, Stresa

One of Italy’s top hotels (with a starring role in Hemingway’s A Farewell to Arms ), this is as sumptuous as you’d expect at the prices.
2. La Palma, Stresa

Almost luxury-level living at relatively moderate prices: lake views from balconies, oversize marble bathrooms, pool.
3. Primavera, Stresa

A small hotel in the pedestrian centre of Stresa. Simple rooms have the basic amenities.
4. Verbano, Isola Superiore (Isola dei Pescatori)

A lovely retreat. The much-requested rooms at the front overlook the restaurant (see Il Sole di Ranco, Lake Maggiore).
5. Grand Hotel Majestic, Verbania-Pallanza

One of Maggiore’s top hotels since 1870, with spacious rooms, courtyard and lawn.
6. Pironi, Cannobio

The wedge-shaped 15th-century building has a frescoed loggia and splashing fountain. Rooms exude antique charm.
7. Il Portico, Cannobio

Modern hotel in a quiet corner of town. Its porticoed restaurant and best rooms overlook the lake.
8. Grand Hotel, Locarno

In 1925, European leaders met in this grand dame of a hotel to sign the Locarno Treaty (which failed to prevent World War II). Public spaces are Belle Époque genteel; rooms are modern.
9. Il Sole, Ranco

The best lodgings on the east shore. Rooms mix antique furnishings with modern comforts, and there’s a great restaurant.
10. Conca Azzurra, Ranco

A modern lakeside retreat with a pool and tennis courts.
