Relais Casali della Cisterna
About
Relais Casali della Cisterna is a charming 200‑year‑old boutique hotel nestled in a centuries‑old park overlooking Lake Maggiore. The historic residence, once home to the house‑keepers and sailors of the 19th‑century Marchesi Dal Pozzo, has been lovingly restored and now offers spacious, elegantly decorated rooms and suites that combine classic style with contemporary comforts. Each room boasts panoramic lake views, and many suites feature private terraces or balconies that overlook the picturesque botanical garden. The hotel’s wide range of services—free Wi‑Fi, an indoor pool with a side jacuzzi, a poolfront outdoor area, a rustic bistro called Stendhal, and a lovely terrace lined with sequoias—make it an ideal destination for both couples and families. A breakfast buffet is served in the bistro or on the terrace from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., and a gluten‑free option is available at no extra charge. With complimentary parking for all vehicles, multilingual reception staff, and an atmosphere of serenity, Relais Casali della Cisterna offers a memorable lakeside escape in the heart of the Italian Lake District.
