Exclusive Boutique Hotel Elisabetta

Panorama Hotel Elisabetta has some huge positives but it is not a hotel in the traditional sense of the word – it’s a Pensione with limited amenities e.g. no front desk or personal representation for arrivals on days when closed (Mondays and Tuesdays). There is no system generated air conditioning but an in-room plug-in fan. There are stairs (no elevator) up to the rooms - two of which have balconies barely one metre wide and there is a canopy extension over the dining area which does little to prevent noise rising from the diners below in the evenings. However, the views from the rooms and terrace are superb and maybe beyond comparison in the locality. The rooms are basically furnished and spotlessly clean, wi-fi is excellent and there is ample free parking in front of the property as well as a bus stop at the entry gate. Breakfasts are served outside on the terrace or inside if preferred and are of a standard format. The food served (continental breakfast style only) is at the discretion of the property i.e. there is no breakfast bar with any choice/s. The restaurant at the property appears to have a fine reputation and the menus look distinctive. Alternative restaurants are also situated nearby. The atmosphere at Elisabetta is friendly-businesslike, nothing more, nothing less. To sum up the stay, an overall enjoyable experience at a property with fantastic views and also a great location for many local trips e.g. Centovalli, Valle Maggia, Val Verzasca as well as the towns of Ascona, Brissago and Locarno.
