The impressive Villa Aminta is set in lush floral gardens in northern Italy, overlooking Lake Maggiore and the Borromeo Islands.

All rooms open out onto balconies or terraces with garden or lake views and come equipped with satellite television with pay movies, Internet connections, hair dryers, safes, minibars, air conditioning, and direct dial complimentary toiletries and some include jetted tubs.
The hotel offers two dining options, offering a range of international and Mediterranean dishes, served by candlelight indoors or out on the terrace. There is also an Italian villa style bar serving drinks and cocktails with live piano music some nights. Guests can bask in the Mediterranean sun on the terrace around the outdoor pool and enjoy snacks and drinks from the poolside bar, while taking in views of the Borromeo Islands. For those who wish to capture the view, the hotel offers art lessons, as well as holding decoupage and cookery classes on request.
