Sehr freundliches Personal, sowohl im Hotel als auch im Restaurant. Wir konnten im Gartenlokal essen mit Blick auf den See. Sehr schöne Atmosphäre; im Restaurant drinnen ging es sehr lebhaft zu, was aber typisch für Italien ist.

Trevligt hotell med serviceinriktad personal
Rent och snyggt både på rummet och hotellets övriga allmänna utrymmen. Vi bilen bra mottagna av serviceinriktad och trevlig personal. Läget vid sjön var vackert och hotellet låg bra till i förhållande till våra vänners lägenhet. Vi kommer gärna tillbaka hit!

Das Hotelzimmer ist sehr sauber und das Servicepersonal sehr freundlich. Wir hatten das Glück, ein Zimmer mit Seeblick zu bekommen. Das Essen im Restaurant im Erdgeschoss ist köstlich und bietet eine große Auswahl. Vom Terrasen aus kann man direkt auf den See blicken. Sehr empfehlenswert.
