we arrived at the belvedere after 3 days in rome and 4 in venice for a wedding in mid september. the pictures dont do justice to the hotel, the view from the restaurant nor the island. paco and all of the staff were just so amazing, the chef is superb--our room was the best we had in italy and it really was a perfect way to end a wonderful ten days. we took marco's advise and visited the other islands, had pizza, ice cream, shopped and came back to a wonder fresh fish dinner. each course better than the next. after watching a lovely but very different wedding in venice, to me the isola dei pescatori and paco's belvedere would be the place to have the perfect wedding. we will be back, thanks again, sorry so late in writing, been a little busy in the middle east for both of us.
bernadette and jim.

we were a party of 4 in two rooms with lake views and balconies for 1 night.
the hotel was very clean &. quiet. our dinner was also very quiet, almost uncomfortably quiet. we felt some ambience, background music etc. would have helped to make the experience more enjoyable. one night ok, a bit pricy for that experience.

what a wonderful place to stay. paco and his staff were very gracious hosts. the rooms were clean and bright. views of the lake were awesome.
one note is that as you arrive (in our case by train) its a bit of a walk, rolling your luggage along the way, to the harbor to catch a ferry to the island.

the room was very clean yet spartan, not even a chair to sit in room and read. view was excellent. it was not warm outside and there is no lobby to use (it is a reataurant).food in restaurant was horrible. island is nice before and after tourists arrive. too busy when they are there.

isola superiore di pescatori is one of the most romantic places on earth. the belvedere is one of two hotels on the island. this one located on the western tip. although the island exudes charm, it becomes absolutely wonderful after the last boat leaves, and you have the island almost to yourself. the views are absolutely spectacular, and staying at the belvedere is a perfect complement. our 2nd fkoor room was tastefully furnished, and the french door led out to a rooftop veranda, where you can enjoy spectular views with relative privacy. paco was exceptionally friendly and helpful in all respects. the accomodations were simple, modern, and clean. since you are on an island, and most of the restaurants on the island close after the last boat, the restaurant associated with the belvedere is the essentially the only game in town. the menu was varied and the food is absolutely incredible. paco was kind to share the menu with us. as a antipasti, the cod mousse and prawns were terrific, the lakew fish ravioli for primi piatti. the fish or beef for secondi were all treats. on both nights, we had the piatto di fromaggi della cassa (local cheeses) for an after-dinner treat. all the staff were very friendly. finally, the atmosphere was so relaxed that it was easy to make friends with some of the other guests.

la única incoveniencia del hotel es que por las caracteristicas de la isla el acceso a él con valijas es dificultosos.ademas no se nos indicó adecuadamente como acceder a la isla y donde dejar el auto en el continenete. ello nos trajo problema de tiempo y pérdida de dinero. pero el hotel en si y la atención fueron excelentes

clientèle aisée.
aucune, situation de l'.hôtel sur l'.île vaut toutes les curiosités.
il n'.est pas précisé qu'.il faut laisser la voiture à stressa (parking à l'.hotel bristol)

cadre magnifique avec une tempete memorable et vue magnifique du restaurant. la baignoire avec balneo n'.est pas désagréable non plus. seul point faible le restaurant est cher et les plats moyens (pas de menu). comme on est sur une île et que le soir tous les restaurants sont fermés on se retrouve piegé dans les 2 hotels de l'.île.

very nice place nice hotel need a better restaurant for dinner the staff is realy nice
i will come back

it was a very good weekend. the hotel and room is clean and in a rimantic position. the restaurant has a relationship quality/price a beat high.

hôtel confortable et avec une situation idéale (sur l'ile des pêcheurs) et une vue extraordinaire sur le lac.

très bon établissement,le personnel est très compétent,souriant et disponible.chambres propres et au calme.peut être un effort pour varier les menus du restaurant.

the view from our window was marvelous. lake maggiore is as pretty as they come. the island is very quiet at night.
the hotel is amazingly accomodating. throughout our stay we were never treated as anything less than their most important customers. an amazing quality of service.

nice, clean property on picturesque island. keep in mind that your travel in the area will be impacted by the public boat schedule, unless you wish to pay more than double for a private taxi boat. dining choices on isola pescatore are extremely limited after 6 p.m. but hotel belvedere's restaurant is a good option. hotel and restaurant staff are very polite and helpful, despite the language barrier.

even though the hotel is really a restaurant with "b & b" facilities, it would have been nice to have comfortable (arm)chairs on which to sit - e.g. a "residents" lounge.
also, it would have been good to have a "simple menu" for snacks in the evenings.
otherwise, an excellent venue in every sense and we would advise anyone to stay here!

l'hotel est très confortable bien que difficile d'accès puisqu'il faut laisser la voiture sur le continent, mais rapport qualité prix du restaurant laisse à désirer

we stayed in room 101 (a double room) and would highly recommend it, it was paradise. the view from the huge balcony over the lake was breathtaking.

we had a great experience at hotel belvedere. we hadn't realized we were arriving when it wasn't quite tourist season, but the owner, paco, made our stay extremely comfortable and was very helpful with his recommendations! the hotel has been in his family for four generations and he'll gladly share the history of the island with you. the rooms are immaculate, comfortable and stylish. definitely our nicest room in all of italy.

dommage que nous ayons eu une chambre donnant sur une ruelle à l'ombre, la vue sur le lac majeur eut été bien plus agréable.
idéalement situé sur la "isola dei pescatorei", prendre le bateau pour y aller est original. personne le soir sur l'île - super -

nous avions réservé 3 jours et nous sommes partis 2 jours après car le matin du troisième jours, nous n'avions plus d'eau pour nous laver. nous avions eu la veille au soir ce même problème. ce manque d'eau a entraîné une panique dans l'hôtel et la qualité du petit déjeuné s'est dégradé. de plus le personnel présent ce matin là n'avait pas d'encadrement, absence des responsables, l'eau serait revenue à midi. en dehors de cet incident assez désagréable, les prestations de l'hôtel étaient conformes à l'annonce initiale.
oui, nous avons visité l'ile mais elle est petite et le tour est vite fait.
inconvénient,tributaire des transports par bateau mais le concept est fort agréable

although our room must have been the only one not overlooking the lake (it looked out onto a small alley) it was clean & suited our purposes well - & we were only staying 1 night.
meals in the restaurant with the view made up for this. instructions on where to leave car on mainland would help. only a reply from my e-mail elicited the info that car can be left at baveno grand hotel rather than in public parking.

c'est l'emplacement sur l'île des pêcheurs (prendre une chambre avec vue) qui fait la qualité de cet hôtel, et rien que pour cela il mérite le détour et en fait un lieu de court séjour "incontournable". sinon, c'est plus un restaurant (moyen et cher)qui propose des chambres (récemment refaites, donc très propre et fonctionnelles) qu'un véritable hôtel.
l'île n'étant accessible qu'aux piétons, il faut se garer aux parkings à parcmètres (pas très cher) de baveno (recommandé : payant 8h>20h et 5 mn de traversée) ou de stresa (payant 8h>22h et 15 mn de traversée) des gares "maritimes". on peut payer pour le lendemain; il doit être très difficile de trouver une place en été.

très bonne situation de l'hôtel, carrément au bord du lac, au calme. chambre spacieuse avec vue lac et montagnes, grande salle de bains, avec baignoire hydromassage, ultra propre, plus terrasse.la même famille dirige cet hôtel depuis env. 100ans et toujours avec le sourire.
(très bon vin) nous reviendrons surrement.

es un hotel muy acogedor. el único inconveniente es que esta en la isla, que por un lado es hermoso, tiene unas vistas espectaculares, es muy muy tranquilo, pero el inconveniente es que por la noche hay muy pocas opciones para hacer. pero si la intención es estar tranquilos es un lugar ideal.

a beautiful place to stay and the hotel staff were very kind and helpful.
