Hotel La Bussola has been run by the Tassera family since 1980. The lobby area has porcelain slabs with a marble effect and faux-leather sofas. Safety features include a carbon monoxide detector, a fire extinguisher, a smoke detector, and a first aid kit. The hotel offers both adult and kid pools, plus ping pong, lounge chairs, and a bar.

“Family-run since 1980, its enduring warmth and stunning lake views create a memorable stay; the terrace dining alone warrants a visit. Though slightly removed from the center, the walk proves picturesque. I find the blend of regional cuisine, matched with a family atmosphere and views, makes it a compelling choice.”
