Villa e Palazzo Aminta
Dating back to the early 20th century, the grand Villa e Palazzo Aminta is one of Lake Maggiore’s finest hotels. Initially built as the personal residence of the Admiral of the Royal Navy Francesco Capece, the hotel still bears the name of his dear, beloved wife Aminta and is now owned by the Zanetta family. The property has very much retained the atmosphere of a private house and the owners take pride in the warm hospitality and service provided to their guests from the moment you step into the opulent lobby with its Murano glittering chandeliers, Venetian flooring and marble columns. With its superior position on the lakefront, this sumptuous five-star property provides the perfect base for our exploration of this magical region of Italy.

Villa e Palazzo Aminta is located in Stresa (Verbania), on the scenic coastal road that runs from Arona to the Swiss border, on the Piedmont side of Lake Maggiore. Overlooking the beautiful Borromean Gulf, you can enjoy stunning views across the lake. As the hotel is on a relatively busy lake front road, some traffic noise may be experienced in the lake view rooms though the views are simply wonderful.
