I don't often take the trouble to post reviews, but the staff really deserve a positive review. They managed to pull off the perfect balance between casual and professional, between friendly and courtesy. From the reception desk to the porters.
While I'm at it: very comfortable, large bed, spacious room, big bathroom. All very nice.

Beautiful view from my room. Absolutely delicious breakfast (best omelettes!).
Wonderful personal touches by both Simona and Alberto. They were very kind, accommodating and gave us personally tested recommendations for restaurants nearby. Definitely try their home made "Orange cello".

Beautiful suite, large, comfortable beds, lovely property with views of the lake.
The only complaint I have were the towels, which smelled as though they had been left wet for too long before being dried. They were large and clean, but they smelled sour. It's the only negative, and I can only assume it was just a bad batch of laundry.

The view out of the window is exceptional - like in a fairytale. The garden and the flowers are extremely beautiful and the scent around the garden is like a natural light perfume which lets you calm down after a hectic week.
The breakfast was delicious!
The rooms are old, therefore the furniture is very sensitive and sometimes it smells a bit.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast by order (rather than buffet) worked well for this size of hotel, ensured fresh food and eliminated waste.

We just returned from our five night stay at the Relais Casali della Cisterna and absolutely loved every aspect of our stay. The room was spacious, the views were gorgeous. Breakfast was absolutely delicious and the 14 euro cost was more than reasonable. The rooms were cleaned and equipped with everything that we would have needed. Since it’s a family-run hotel, the hosts absolutely ensure that everything is done to the guests’ liking. We can’t recommend this hotel highly enough!!

Everything was absolutely great.
The location is awesome, it offers stunning views to the Lake Maggiore and it is just a few minutes away by drive from Stresa and the beautiful islands (Isola Bella, Isola Madre and Isola dei Pescatori) to visit.
All the food they serve is very tasty. What an incredible experience to eat the breakfast with such a view.
The rooms are clean and bedding very comfortable.
Last but not least: the owners are amazing, they are very nice and they always do their best to make you happy.
We highly recommend!

The couple who run it are very welcoming and were very helpful with recommending the best and easiest way to get to places as well as warning us of tolls we were going to encounter without our knowledge and helping us out with what needed to be done. The hotel has a wonderful warm atmosphere and the food was delicious. The gardens are beautifully kept and the rooms are very comfortable. I highly recommend staying there.

This hotel is a real gem if you are looking for a beautiful place to stay. The property is in perfect condition and the rooms are outstanding - more like 5 star quality than the hotel's 3 star rating! The hotel is set in a 200 year old park of trees from around the world, overlooking the lake. The owners are extremely charming and run the hotel to a very high standard. Breakfast was served on the terrace overlooking the lake. All in all a lovely place to stay.
The only drawback is that the hotel is next to the main railway line to the Simplon pass. HOWEVER, the rooms are very well sound-proofed and there are very few trains running on the line at night time, so the noise was hardly noticeable.
6.0
free parking (gets full quickly, so can get tricky), great wifi, nice lake view from the room (even though partly blocked by the roof of the building in front of main hotel building), elevator in the building, large room, tea/coffee making facilities provided, comfortable large bed
Only one bottle of water provided for a 5 day stay, many steps to the building, very uncomfortable to drag your luggage (good 20-30 steps), reception is not very knowledgeable on local tours/excursions, bath tub leaked, impossible to get around without a car, not a walking distance to anything really, not even to the lake - had to use car every day.

Perfect location for traveller who prefer privacy and being outside the busy tourists towns (e.g. Stresa) while having luxury, good service, breakfast + dinner (bistro style).
I have travelled with the car and had no problems to go to the location and back. the train station is 15 min (careful there is a small hill ;-) away by foot and takes you in 5 min to Stresa and in 1 hr to Milan (express train only). There is no disturbance by the train line. The location is perfect for privacy, as this location offers two villas with only a limited number of rooms managed by a family very professionally and personal. The service can match some first class hotels and the breakfast (you get a list, where you can select for the next day) is perfect. The view from the terase is romantic and displays a very nice scenery with Lago Maggiore. There is an impressive garden/parc which is part of the hotel. You can reach all relevant tourist sites, locations and islands from the location. Free parking (and 2 fast-charger) are available. The Jacuzzi is perferct for a romantic night with some wine/prosecco. The Dinner is good, the breakfast is perfect and there is a Nespresso coffee maschine on the room. I recommend this location for people who are looking for peace, privacy and good culinary and service experiences, while having a car or want to use this as a place to start hiking and exploring.
The cocktail glasses appear a little big, so a double shot is suggested if you want to really enjoy the great selection and mixing results of signature cocktails available. Also the virgin drinks are balanced and refreshing. The mosquito in the evening are a problem everywhere but thanks to our hosts and some tools we could relax and enjoy a great pizza, wine and the romantic scenery.
