"Though less famous than Lake Maggiore and Lake Como, Lake Orta is scarcely less spectacular; and without quite so long a history of opulent grand hotels to deal with, a place like Laqua by the Lake is free to express itself in an unapologetically modernist direction. No mere rooms, all 18 units are somewhere in the space between suites and apartments; those with views of the lake are worth the premium. There’s a small spa with a CryoSuite as well as an infinity pool and a beach club, and the restaurant and bar serve modern Piedmontese fare under the direction of the award-winning chef Antonino Cannavacciuolo." - Tablet Hotels
