Lakeside Luxury
A lake, a spa, and the infinite charm of the Italian Belle Époque.
Sited on the Piedmont shores of Lake Maggiore, surrounded by gardens brimming with camellias, rhododendrons, and azaleas, Hotel Villa and Palazzo Aminta Beauty & Spa has breathtaking views over the shimmering waters of Italy's second largest lake, and the islets of Borromee. This enchanting setting was much loved by the elite classes of Europe who frequented the Italian lakes in the late 1900's. Stresa, where the hotel is located, is often referred to as "the pearl of Verbano". The streets and lakeside boulevards of this city are lined with any number of elegant villas and magnificent, landscaped parks.
Hotel Villa and Palazzo Aminta, one of the most exclusive resorts on Lake Maggiore, perfectly conserves the unique atmosphere of the Belle Epoque. Guests pass the time pleasantly, gazing out over the lake from the property's water edge terrace or wandering through the rooms of a hotel which was conceived as elegant family villa. The polished marble, hand woven carpets, and chandeliers in glass from Murano, recall the magic of Venice, the gateway to the Orient, and represent the synthesis of what was the most prestigious Italian style.
The hotel's exclusive wellness center is directed by Prof. Nicola Sorrentino, a highly esteemed specialist in dietary science, hydrology, climatology and thalassotherapy, who can count many stars of the small and big screen among his clients. Spa guests are greeted in a luxurious and wonderfully peaceful environment, the interiors of which are inspired by those of India's Taj Mahal. A team of highly qualified doctors, physiotherapists, beauticians, personal trainers and massage therapists assist guests in the completion of programs aimed to restore natural balance and create sensations of lasting wellbeing. Face and body treatments, and shiatsu massages are performed, and algae, mud and fruit wraps applied, using the range of products created exclusively for Hotel Palazzo Aminta Beauty and Spa by Camellias.
The Zen Space has been designed to provide the ideal environment for meditation and deep relaxation. Those wishing to work out can use the state-of-the-art fitness room, equipped with the latest Techogym appliances as well as plasma screens and satellite link. In the spa's Grotta, bathed in soft light, guests follow a wellness path comprised of ice waterfall, aromarium, emotional showers and hydrochromotherapy.
