Lake Maggiore, Italy Hotel Rooms at the Independent

This B&B, in the small town of Ispra on the shore of Lago Maggiore, is a lovely place to stay, with very friendly proprietors (who do speak excellent English). Ask for the “Room with a View” and a spectacular view (weather permitting!) it is. This room, while small, has an adjacent bathroom, and is light and airy with big picture windows looking out on the lake and garden of the property. The room has a lockable door leading to a small kitchen (which is shared with the other room for let downstairs). In the kitchen, you find ample breakfast supplies (coffee, tea, juice, water, bread for toast, fruit, etc.) and a great espresso machine and microwave. Internet is free and the connection is fast. Overall, a great place to stay, and close to the Ispra research complex.

Location is right on the main road circling Garda lake- so everything is close by. Generous parking place. Rooms are spacious and clean. Breakfast is average for north Italy hotels.

i'll go back for sure !

just returned from lovely stay.Staff were friendly and helpfull ,excellent pizza resturant few doors down from hotel, supermarket next door. only a 5 min drive to next town Arona where there are many resturants etc. Good location for exploring Lake Maggiore and surrounding areas. We drove tp Lake Como for a day- took about 1.5 hrs.

Staff very helpful and went out of their way to help. They spoke English very well which was helpful

was a lovely small hotel, picturesque view of lake and mountains. Stayed there for two night and would have stayed another two if there had been a vacancy. Staff were helpful and friendly . Ate there both nights, food was very good, waiters very good , gave advice on wine etc

The hotel is walking distance rom the center of town, as well as minutes from the panoramic lake walk, the cable car to Mottarone, and the ferry to the Borromean Islands.

This is a peaceful retreat with the opportunity to socialize if you wish. Fantastic views over Lake Orta and easy access to the incredible village and island. The ferry even stops here! The staff are caring and do all they can to make your stay perfect. We feel fortunate to have found this lovely retreat.
