Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Cittadella

Perched near Lago Maggiore, this Old Town restaurant-with-rooms has pleasant, fairly good-value accommodations tucked under the rafters, with classic tile floors in cream and red adding to the simple, rustic charm. Even better, the popular trattoria downstairs offers inexpensive regional food—pizzas, pastas, and simply prepared fish—and fancier fish dishes are available in the more formal restaurant upstairs.
