Ristorante Antico Verbano
Meina
06/02/2026: Let me preface this by saying... I'm only giving it one star so I can publish this review at all... I would actually give it MINUS 500 stars.
This hotel is completely unsuitable for families with dogs, even though it advertises itself extensively online and on-site with "Pets Welcome."
Why am I writing this, or rather, warning other families with dogs about this hotel?
... - We wanted to enjoy a nice vacation at Lake Maggiore from June 28th to July 5th, 2025, and booked this hotel based on the promised conditions:
* Room/suite with a reserved/private outdoor area (great for us because of our dog and our SUPs)
* Direct lake access (great for us, as we know how difficult it is to get to/from the lake with a dog and SUPs otherwise)
* Hotel staff who speak German
* Hotel parking
- We arrived on the afternoon of June 28th, 2025, and what did we find?
* Room/suite with a balcony offering no shade for most of the day, instead of the booked room/suite with a reserved outdoor area
* Using the direct lake access with our dog was impossible, as we would have had to walk through the pool area, which is generally off-limits to dogs. At reception, we were told to find a suitable swimming spot on the lake by car or on foot. The dog can go in... what? What was the point of booking a hotel with private lake access then?
* The dog is not allowed to be left alone in the room/suite at any time, under threat of a substantial fine from reception. This meant that we, as a family, couldn't even go swimming or eat in the hotel restaurant (e.g., breakfast, dinner). One of us would have always had to stay with the dog while the others ate or went swimming. This is not what you expect from a family vacation.
* Communication was only possible in English, not German. Luckily, our daughter, with her excellent English, took over.
Under these circumstances, we didn't check into the room/suite and left.
Unfortunately, we had already paid for the room/suite in full beforehand.
We asked the receptionist about a refund, and she told us to contact management. We did so promptly, but so far without success. We haven't received a single cent back to this day, and we can assume that our unoccupied room/suite was promptly re-let during peak season. The hotel owner has clearly double-dived.
One thing is certain: we will never return to Lake Maggiore or the Hotel Antico Verbano in Meina, and we absolutely cannot recommend it.
07/01/2026: Very good strategic point, we had a great time, good clean hotel, excellent swimming pool, excellent relaxation place

Ristorante Bella Vista
Meina
21/10/2025: Nice clean place, really kind and helpful staff for any need, highly recommended
13/10/2025: We visited this restaurant on our way back from a weekend in the Ossola Valley and had a great time. The food was excellent, the service was fast, and the staff were very kind...they even pointed us in the right direction to get home!
We enjoyed the appetizers (seafood salad and spinach flan with creamed parmesan), the taiarine pasta with fish ragù, and a mixed fried lake fish dish...all excellent...and the view of the lake!
