“Grand Hotel Des Iles Borromees & Spa earns its reputation through historic decor and an exceptional spa, though some rooms require attention to detail. The lakeside location is superb, offering access to the Borromean Islands and Stresa; however, be mindful of potential noise. In my opinion, consistent service standards would elevate the experience to match its grand appearance.”
