Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a beautiful view and is conveniently located near the lake with plenty of restaurants nearby, which I really appreciated. However, the rooms were quite disappointing; they were ugly, stinky, and noisy, lacking air conditioning. While the staff was very helpful in recommending places to visit, I felt the overall value for the price paid didn't quite match my expectations.
I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, which is in a fantastic location—just a few minutes walk to the lake and surrounded by lovely restaurants. The rooms were comfortable, but they could definitely use some renovation to feel more inviting. The service was generally friendly, though there were moments when the staff felt a bit distant compared to the warm atmosphere I experienced elsewhere in Italy. All in all, it provided good value for money, though not without its quirks.
The hotel has a wonderful location just a few minutes' walk from the lake and surrounded by lovely trees. The rooms are large and comfortable, although they did feel a bit lacking in atmosphere. I found the staff to be welcoming and friendly, but sometimes a bit cool compared to what I experienced in Italy. Dining could use some improvement, especially at breakfast. Overall, it’s a decent value for money.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with a beautiful garden view from my balcony. The room was spacious and nicely furnished, making it quite comfortable. However, some aspects of the service could improve, and the dining experience didn't quite meet my expectations. Overall, it's a great place for the price, especially with its convenient location near the lake.
The hotel is located in a beautiful and quiet area, just a short walk from the lake and surrounded by lovely trees. The rooms are fine and calm but could use a bit more atmosphere. The service was polite and helpful, though a little reserved compared to what I experienced in I Italy. Dining options were decent, with fresh choices, but could be improved with more variety, especially for breakfast.
