Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with a fabulous view in the front. The service was exceptional, seamlessly blending impeccable service with an unfussy manner. The location is simply breathtaking, situated in the Italian lake district with the mountains on the far side of the lake. While the dining experience at the barbecue was delightful, some additional dining options would have been appreciated. The facilities provided added to the overall positive experience during my visit.
This hotel is a gem with fabulous front views and impeccable service combined with an unfussy manner. The location in a gorgeous valley on the mountainside by a beautiful lake offers some great hiking opportunities. The dining experience, especially with fresh fruits, was delightful. However, the only downside was the slightly high price for the value offered.
