VICOLUNGO Glamour Lodge & Spa
An 8-minute walk to Ondaland with its own hot tub
About this hotel
This lodge sits closer to Ondaland's gates than almost anywhere else on the list, an 8-minute walk that lets families skip the daily car-loading routine entirely. The hot tub and spa on site give the stay a second act once the swimsuits come off, useful after a full day of sun and slides in the open-air park. Free breakfast, Wi-Fi and parking are all bundled in, and the property is both accessible and smoke-free. For families doing back-to-back Ondaland days, the short walk back to a hot tub rather than a long drive is the single biggest practical advantage this lodge offers over the wider Novara and Vercelli hotel options.
- 8-minute walk to Ondaland
- On-site hot tub and spa
- Free breakfast and parking
Our take
This is the desk's top pick for families who want proximity above almost everything else: the walk to Ondaland is the shortest on the list, and the on-site hot tub means the day doesn't have to end when the park closes. It suits toddlers needing a fast nap-time return as much as it suits parents wanting a soak after a long day. Families chasing a bigger resort-style spa or a wider restaurant scene should look toward Novara instead.
- ✓Book well ahead for July and August: the walking distance to Ondaland makes this the first spa-lodge option to sell out.
- ✓Confirm hot tub hours at check-in, since rural lodge spas can run shorter evening hours than a full resort.
- ✓Skip renting a car for short trips: the 8-minute walk to Ondaland covers most of a typical park day.

Why guests love itWe picked this lodge mainly for the walk to Ondaland, but the hot tub is what made the second day work. Our toddler was out cold by 7pm after a full day on the splash pads, and we actually got twenty minutes in the water ourselves once she was down. Being 8 minutes from the gates meant no drive back for nap time, which mattered a lot with a two-year-old in tow.
