Villa e Palazzo Aminta

Five-star villa with a dog menu, dog beds and a garden villa for bigger dogs

This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A Leading Hotels of the World villa on the lake road just north of Stresa, looking out to the Borromean Islands. It suits couples who want a quiet five-star with its own grounds rather than a hotel on the town promenade. Its dog programme is the most complete on the lake: a dog menu, a welcome pack with a bed and a biscuit, and Villa Amintina, a separate villa with direct garden access for medium and large dogs.

Why it's in the collection

Villa Amintina's own garden is a rare thing for a bigger dog, and the Villa Pallavicino park in Stresa, where dogs are allowed on a lead, is just along the lake road. The terrace dinner looks straight across to Isola Bella.

Best suited for

Main rooms take small and medium dogs, and Villa Amintina takes larger ones.

The open question

How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.

On a lead, dogs are welcome in the hall and on the restaurant terrace. Rooms in the main building take small and medium dogs. Villa Amintina has direct access to the garden and takes medium and large dogs, who can run free there. Dogs aren't allowed in the spa or by the pool.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
