We had a most enjoyable stay at Geneva on the Lake! This elegant Italianate villa built in the early 1900s is beautifully situated on Seneca Lake (the Classic Suite had breathtaking views over an elegant balustrade). While it’s an older property that is continuing to up the quality of the interior design, the rooms and public spaces are attractively furnished (sumptuous bedding), nicely appointed and maintained.

We had a most enjoyable stay at Geneva on the Lake! This elegant Italianate villa built in the early 1900s is beautifully situated on Seneca Lake (the Classic Suite had breathtaking views over an elegant balustrade). While it’s an older property that is continuing to up the quality of the interior design, the rooms and public spaces are attractively furnished (sumptuous bedding), nicely appointed and maintained. The dining area was quite lovely and intimate (indoors and outdoors) and our meals were quite good (the “lattice vegetable omelet” and the pan seared snapper with a light cream sauce were exceptional). What made our stay particularly enjoyable was the staff— everyone, from check in staff to servers to bartender to wine director and management— was so nice, gracious, professional and conveyed the sense of working together to deliver a first class experience. Highly recommend!

Staff was amazing. Grounds are really cool. Rooms are a bit dated but apparently a lot is getting renovated so I’m optimistic. The restaurant is lacking though. Great menu and presentation but the flavors aren’t there. A bit over seasoned dinner. Brunch was not worth it at all.
Bar scene is really great, would go just for that. Nina helped us out so much and she made our stay...See More

Nice but dated rooms. The bathroom faucets and knobs are really cheap. It is only a 5 minute drive to downtown Geneva. The grounds are very well maintained and manicured. The restaurant served very heavy and salty food even in the middle of summer.
