R&R and romance at a charming 18th-century villa on the shores of Lake Maggiore - includes optional breakfast, hot tub and sauna access, and more
-
The romantic Lake Maggiore: Sitting right on the edge of Lake Maggiore's picturesque shores is Relais Villa Porta, an 18th-century villa and former hunting lodge surrounded by private parkland. Behind its historic façade, you'll find period features and local artwork. Wander the garden's winding paths to the private harbour, where you can sun yourself by the water under a fairy-tale turret draped with climbing roses.
-
La dolce vita: The hotel restaurant is situated right on the lake shore, offering al fresco terrace dining with breathtaking views over Lake Maggiore. The menu boasts hyper-local ingredients, such as fish caught straight from the lake. In the summer months, a laid-back brasserie opens for light lunches and evening meals - the perfect stop if you're out boating.
-
Room with a view: The stylish and inviting guest rooms and apartments boast stunning views and are all designed in an elegant Mediterranean style. Earthy tones and accent walls blend rustic and contemporary style with an elegant, cosy vibe - think warm neutrals, stone walls and wood details.
How to get there
The hotel is situated roughly a half-hour's drive from Switzerland's Lugano airport, or an hour and 20 minutes from Milan Malpensa airport. Either way, we recommend that you hire a car in order to make your journey smoother and so you can explore the spectacular landscapes around the hotel and the lake.
Entry requirements

Colmegna
Relais Villa Porta sits in a tranquil location on the eastern shores of Lake Maggiore, a couple of kilometres north of Luino, a small town with a renowned local market on Wednesdays. From here, regular ferryboats shuttle across to other towns on the lake. Most hotels around Lake Maggiore are located on the western shore, making this place feel more isolated and secluded than the rest. About 27 kilometres south is the beautiful 12th-century cliffside monastery of Santa Caterina del Sasso, home to a small community of Benedictine monks.
