What guests say

Guests consistently highlight the immaculate cleanliness, charming character, and stylish decoration of the villa. Breakfast—personally prepared daily by the host Roberto, with fresh homemade breads, pastries, and jams—is highly praised and considered a highlight of the stay. Roberto's hospitality and helpful advice about sightseeing and restaurants are frequently mentioned. Rooms are spacious, comfortable, and often feature outstanding views of Lake Maggiore. The well-kept garden and proximity to the lake add to the appeal. Some guests note that access involves steps and that parking is not directly on-site but nearby. Overall, the accommodation is highly recommended for those seeking a peaceful, authentic experience with exceptional hospitality.

Very nice property with a spectacular view of Lake Maggiore. The owner carefully prepared the breakfast, rich and abundant, and especially with homemade cakes, jams and other items. Roberto was very kind in providing us with recommendations for particular places to see and restaurants to dine at. Wonderful experience.

The best bed and breakfast we have stayed at and I honestly don't think any other will beat it. Superb in every way: we loved staying in the beautiful villa with its original features, maintained and decorated to the highest standard; the luxury of the air-conditioned room with its stunning lake view; the exceptional breakfasts, delicious home made breads, croissants and pastries better than from top establishments. Thank you Signor Roberto, for your warm welcome and kindness, your attention and cheerful care for us during our stay. We will return again as this is a very special place and sincerely recommend it.

We really enjoyed the hospitality, the good tips, and last but not least the hearty breakfast and the host's baking skills, as well as the view of the lake. We will definitely come back!

The place is enchanting and the manager is very courteous and helpful. The only problem is the access road and the lack of an elevator inside, aspects that make the structure a bit difficult for elderly people. Otherwise, it was an excellent stay.

We have traveled extensively in Italy and visited many bed and breakfasts. But Villa Arancio is the best of the best. Roberto is a great host and welcomes you every morning with a great and imaginative breakfast. The room was large and comfortable with a beautiful view of the lake. We will definitely visit the Villa Arancio again when we are in the area.

It's definitely not the last time we visited him!

We stayed 3 nights at bedroom number 2 in B&B Villa Arancio at the beginning of spring. It is located in the center of Ghiffa, so there are several choices of eateries within walking distance. The house is surrounded by old streets leading to the main road, which is great for strolling. Otherwise, the lakeside pathway opposite the main street is also a good choice. Both the bedroom and the exclusive-use bathroom are spacious and clean with a breathtaking view from the bedroom balcony. Breakfast was excellent with homemade bread, pastries, cakes, and even jam! The host is very kind and friendly; he even made diabetic-friendly pastries due to my special need. Thank you, Roberto!

Roberto is really a great and friendly host and offers probably the best breakfast, with for example different homemade rolls, bread and cakes every day. The wonderful B&B is located a stone throw away from Lago Maggiore with a wonderful view of the lake. Our high-quality e-bikes were safely stored in the cordoned-off garden. The garden offers a wonderful place to relax. We will definitely come back to Roberto's Villa Arancio and recommend it for other travellers.

We had a great week at Villa Arancio with three of us (including a three-year-old child). The clean room with air conditioning and direct access to the garden was perfect for our needs. The well-kept garden is a great place to relax or enjoy a glass of wine overlooking the lake. For a swim, you just have to go down the stair-like road and cross the street (2 minutes). The breakfast is exceptional for a Bed and Breakfast, thanks to Roberto and his skills as a pastry chef. Furthermore, Roberto is just a very nice, accommodating but in no way intrusive host. We will gladly come back when we visit Lake Maggiore.

Perfect holiday at B&B Villa Arancio, a residence from the early 1900s with a lovely terraced garden overlooking the lake, completely renovated and furnished in a contemporary style with classic touches. Beautiful spacious room, large and bright, as well as the private bathroom. From the windows, a vast, delightful view of the lake. Exquisite breakfasts, always different, prepared every day by Roberto, an excellent pastry chef, meticulous manager, and owner of the property, a very kind, welcoming, and very helpful person. His advice and information provided were particularly useful and valuable for organizing our outings to discover Lake Maggiore. Finally, Ghiffa, three kilometers north of Verbania, is a small charming village, relaxing and quiet, on the shores of the lake, with some good restaurants offering local cuisine, convenient for easily reaching the most well-known locations. Free parking along the lakeside, convenient for the property. A holiday that we will remember with joy.

Roberto is a very kind and thorough host. The lovingly prepared breakfast was special every day. Unfortunately, the room only has one door and no additional window, and the large mirror next to the bed bothered us a bit. So only 9 out of 10 points. But those were really just minor things. However, you could use the garden.

B&B Villa Arancio met all our needs and expectations, my husband and I very much enjoyed our stay at this beautiful villa with a nice outdoor space. We stayed in the top floor room and we loved our terrace with a rapturous view of the lake. The host Roberto was most friendly and accommodating. An experienced chef, he produced delicious fresh bread and brioches every day as part of the breakfast which we very much enjoyed. The villa is just a few steps (and stairs) away from the lake, with nice swimming spots, and close to the natural reserve. We would definitely like to stay here again and highly recommend it.

Beautiful B&B with a lovely garden (garden furniture available) not far from the lake. Nice view. We had a spacious and comfortable room; the bathroom was rather small, but everything was present and worked perfectly. Roberto provided an unbeatable breakfast every morning with freshly baked bread (different every day!) and cakes. Fresh orange juice, cold cuts and cheese, yogurt and also delicious coffee: everything was there. Roberto also gave us tips for excursions in the area and reserved a table for us at the nearby restaurant. Highly recommended!

The three of us spent 6 days in this accommodation and the beautiful surroundings. B&B Villa Arancio has been beautifully renovated and we enjoyed a brilliant view from the room and the garden overlooking the lake. The room was spacious, so setting up the children's travel cot was no problem. In the garden, there was always a shaded spot even in the height of summer, along with various garden furniture to suit all tastes. There is no direct parking at the hotel, but that was not an issue for us. The B&B is very clean, the breakfast was one of the best we've had on our travels. The host always provided us with a high chair for the children and a kettle. The fridge in the room is very practical. The host speaks very good German and is very fond of children. Thank you for the lovely time at Villa Arancio.

Wow, what an experience! We miss Roberto's wonderful breakfasts already! Every day the breakfast is super fresh and different, and therefore a beautiful surprise at the beginning of a new day. The house and the nice garden, right next to a very beautiful little church (don't worry, at night no noise), are very well kept and the view of the lake is spectacular. Nice restaurants within a few minutes' walk. We liked it so much, thanks Roberto for your hospitality. Roberto is a very nice host.

C'è anche un parcheggio sulla strada Nazionale vicino alla Piazza di Santa Croce (ancora piu' vicino al B&B Villa Arancio) senza disco orario , mentre se si desidera quello col disco orario si deve mettere solo se si parcheggia dalle 11.00 alle 12.00 e dalle 14.30 alle 15.30 (orario in cui generalmente gli ospiti sono via per escursioni) e in nessun'altra ora del giorno, inoltre Ghiffa è forse uno dei pochi paesi in cui non ci sono parcheggi a pagamento e ci sono sempre parcheggi liberi anche in piena estate non essendo un paese di turismo di massa essendoci poche strutture ricettive.

At Roberto's, there is a great breakfast, you feel really comfortable, and from 7 o'clock a wonderful scent spreads through the house as he bakes fresh and superbly. Gladly again.

We stayed at Roberto's property for 5 nights, doing some serious bike riding. The breakfast was amazing and delicious, with tasty home-made breads, croissants and cakes as well as some regional cheese, prosciutto, fruits and much more. We even could grab some oranges from the tree in the garden. The room was spacious and comfortable with everything you need to regenerate well for the next ride. We do definitely recommend the Villa Arancio for a stay at Lago Maggiore.

Unfortunately, you can only give 10 points! The best and cleanest accommodation ever! And we have already stayed in very good hotels. Roberto is a very kind and attentive host who leaves nothing to be desired. His breakfast, highly praised on the Internet, is even better than described and everything is fresh. The pastries made by him were simply delicious. The fact that Roberto does everything, including room cleaning, is almost unbelievable! And puts every housewife in the shade for how clean everything is! Just great. Thank you for everything Roberto.

Roberto is an extraordinarily good host and does his best to satisfy his guests. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the extremely well-kept Villa. The services that Roberto provides for his guests far exceed expectations for a B&B. The breakfast is an absolute delight and unique thanks to the host's baking skills. Thank you very much Roberto and continued success. Beatrix and Peter Linder.

A perfect stay at B&B Villa Arancio! Beautiful rooms with a stunning lake view, great terrace, a perfect and loving breakfast, which couldn't be fresher, and very great hospitality - what more could you ask for! A few houses down there is a great pizzeria, so dinner is also taken care of. We will gladly come back!

The room with balcony was very spacious, with a large balcony offering a beautiful view of the lake. Although the bathroom was across the hallway, it was not a problem. The breakfast was simply fantastic: you were awakened by the scent of freshly baked bread. There were always two types of bread, two freshly baked cakes, homemade jams, and much more. Just for that reason alone, the accommodation would be worth it.

Gentile Sig. Zaltron la ringrazio della bellissima recensione e di aver scelto la mia casa per il vostro soggiorno. Per il parcheggio generalmente non ci sono problemi e a Ghiffa non sono a pagamento, capisco però che arrivando di sabato sera alle 19.30 (essendoci diversi Ristoranti sul lungolago) pur con qualche difficoltà si trova comunque un posto libero. Cordiali Saluti Roberto Bergamaschi.

Passion for their work combined with the utmost attention and professionalism. We stayed with two families for three days. \nThe manager Roberto made us feel at home.

Very well-kept property with particular attention to cleanliness. All three rooms are very beautiful, each with different characteristics and particular attention to detail. Roberto, a former pastry chef, shows all his passion by offering a rich and quality breakfast (bread, cakes, croissants, jams... All prepared by him). Delightful garden, well-kept, lake view... A corner of paradise. Highlighting Roberto's availability, kindness, and flexibility. A very pleasant person who shows great passion and dedication towards guests. We will definitely come back, we had a very good time.

Truly beautiful. Roberto is super professional. Welcoming, precise and attentive to customer needs. I confirm the generosity of the breakfast with a choice of savory and sweet (the sweet and bread are prepared by himself). The cold cuts and cheese are niche products from the adjacent valleys. Roberto is also attentive to suggesting excursion proposals from the more challenging ones to visiting the islands of the lake. The structure can only be reached on foot, but the car can be parked along the main road less than 1 minute away on foot. I highly recommend it to all those who love peace and courtesy.

Robertos Hotel, is in the price category, absolutely unique! Great location, great breakfast, very tasteful rooms, always very useful holiday tips to receive and not to forget Roberto's high standard, wanting to give only the best to his guests. Although he is an absolute professional, he radiates so much warmth that you don't forget it so quickly! The small villa, at the foot of Lake Maggiore, I can recommend to anyone looking for something special and appreciating Roberto's efforts. I have been to Villa Arancio with my friends a second time and it will certainly not be the last time! Continued success! E. Thomas.

We really enjoyed our stay at B&B Villa Arancio. The rooms were very clean and tastefully decorated, the bathroom very spacious and beautiful! All rooms were very clean! Breakfast was excellent every morning and a real treat! The bread, the cakes, the jams - all homemade. Every morning we were excited about the pastries - each time there were different delicacies with which we were spoiled. Just delicious. We also loved the small garden with its hammock and sun loungers. It was simply a beautiful and relaxing holiday, which passed by too quickly.

Nice big room and bathroom. View of the lake. The property has outside seating with view of the lake. Very quiet at night.

Highly recommend. Excellent restaurant, La Canfora was a five minute walk away.

The first..Roberto, the owner of B&B Villa Arancio, is dedicated with passion to his B&B and his guests. The property is very very clean and furnished and decorated with attention to detail. Our room was big enough, the bed / mattress very comfortable. The bathroom was extremely large and equipped with everything. If it's important for someone, the wifi doesn't work well. If it's important for someone, there is no TV in the room. This didn't bother us. Maybe if it rains and you don't want to go out?! The last stretch from the parking to the B&B is about 50 meters, some stairs. Therefore, the luggage should not be too large / cumbersome and heavy. Recommendation! A charming house, tastefully decorated and a warm host. Roberto greeted us warmly, showed us everything, we felt comfortable. Roberto is happy to give tips on restaurants, pizzerias in the area. Then for breakfast: Wow again! Roberto is a baker and pastry chef! Freshly baked bread, rolls and delicious cakes or sweets every day, various cheeses, ham, salami, tomatoes, eggs (scrambled eggs or other), homemade jam, honey, juices. In the morning you open the door of the room and the scent of a bakery wafts in. Did I forget something? Maybe?! It was just fantastic. Uncomplicated and familiar. We were lovingly taken care of. Communication worked very well because Roberto speaks German very well. We will come back!

Roberto is definitely the kindest, most charming host at the entire lake, oh yes, in Italy. But the best part is his breakfast and the love with which he prepares different types of fresh bread, rolls, and pastries every morning. In the morning, you are awakened by the delicious smell of freshly baked pastries, and we have never experienced a cleaner Bed & Breakfast.\n\nWe will come back as soon as possible.

This charming house is located in a stunning location with a great view of Lake Maggiore. The host bakes fresh bread and cakes every morning. Breakfast is an absolute delight. His hospitality is very pleasant. Since the house is situated on a hill, accessibility is a bit unusual. Parking is not possible in front of the house. Nevertheless, I give this house a 10*.

Cannot speak more highly of B&B Villa Arancio and will definitely return for the breakfast and the views.

Beautiful structure with three rooms in the second row from the lakeside of Ghiffa, the location is still an advantage as the first row of houses on the lakeside road filters out vehicle noise, parking possibilities along the road or in dedicated spaces a little further ahead. Excellent welcome from the friendly and caring Roberto, beautiful room assigned to us with ample space both in the bedroom and in the bathroom; excellent room tidying and cleaning, comfortable bed (even though the structure is a bit noisy, which is however of little consequence) and the pillows, large wardrobe and very efficient and useful refrigerator; not missing the television, replaced by an excellent WIFI. Excellent breakfast, varied especially in the sweet part with a great Roberto who delights his guests with breads, sweet brioches personally made, also good local cheeses. With the good weather, possibility of breakfast outdoors on the veranda and green space equipped with sunbeds to sunbathe and relax.
