Do all the rooms in the Gardeners’ House have a lake view?

Yes. The Grand Suite Sequoia, the three junior suites and the two Deluxe Doubles all have a view of Lake Maggiore. The Basic Double Bamboo, on the first floor, has a partial lake view.

Yes. The lift serves every floor of the house, and in the Grand Suite Sequoia, on the fourth floor, it opens directly into the room.

Can two rooms be combined for a family or a group of friends?

Yes. On each of the first three floors there is a double room and a junior suite with a shared entrance: book them together and the floor becomes one large suite with two bathrooms.

Is the Gardeners’ House quiet?

The rooms are soundproofed, and an acoustic test confirmed that the noise from the trains on the line behind the house is well below the legal limits. The Junior Suites Palma and Canfora, which have a more exposed side, also have quadruple-glazed windows. If you are a very light sleeper or like to sleep with the windows open, we recommend the Sailors’ House, the closest to the lake.

Which is the largest room?

The Grand Suite Sequoia on the fourth floor: 55 m², up to five guests, the most panoramic round window in the hotel and a bathroom with whirlpool bath.

Do you have cots for babies?

Yes, in the junior suites and in the Grand Suite Sequoia, on request (€10 per night). A cot cannot be added in the double rooms.

Where is breakfast served?

On the ground floor of the house, in the Bistrot Stendhal, or on the terrace with a view of the lake. The bistro is where the villa’s stables used to be.

Is it worth booking directly on the website?

Yes. On our website you will find the best price, with seasonal offers already applied to the dates you choose, and late check-in reserved for direct bookings. For bookings up to €1,500, cancellation is free up to 72 hours before arrival.

Gardeners’ House: lake view rooms on Lake Maggiore

The red house in the park, with a view of the lake

Behind the sailors’ yellow house, the home of the gardeners of the Marquises Dal Pozzo

Seven rooms and suites on four floors, all served by a lift and each named after a plant in the park. At the top is the Grand Suite Sequoia: the largest of all, like the tree it is named after.

The house of the men who tended the Marquises’ park and villa

In 1827 the Belgirate estate was a wedding gift to Princess Luisa Dal Pozzo della Cisterna. Next to the house of the sailors, who sailed the family’s boats, the gardeners’ house was built: here lived the men who looked after the park and maintained the villa and the buildings of the Marquises Dal Pozzo.

The ground floor was the estate’s stable. Animals were kept here, and the fish caught in the lake by the sailors were hung to dry. Right behind the house you can still see the original old manger where the horses ate their hay. Today these rooms are home to the reception and the Bistrot Stendhal, where we serve breakfast every morning.

On the upper floors, the gardeners’ quarters have become seven rooms and suites with a view of Lake Maggiore. To honour their work, each one is named after a plant in the park: Sequoia, Canfora (camphor), Castagno (chestnut), Palma (palm), Robinia, Cedro (cedar) and Bamboo. The largest is the Sequoia, on the top floor, just as the sequoias are the largest trees in the park.

The interiors are in classic style, with parquet floors and luxury curtains that recall the historic residence. Outside, the historic park, with its pool, sequoias, camellias and hydrangeas, leads down to the lake.

Grand Suite Sequoia

Named after the California sequoias that grow in our park: like them, it is the largest in the house.

Lift into the suite

The largest and most spectacular suite in the Gardeners’ House takes up the fourth floor, and the lift opens directly into the room. The living room, with three beds, a sofa and armchairs, has the most panoramic window in the whole hotel: round, with a breathtaking view of Lake Maggiore. Two small enclosed balconies, private and quiet, let you look out over the lake. A separate king size bedroom and a marble bathroom with corner whirlpool bath and double sink make it the ideal choice for families and groups of friends of up to five.
