““A beautifully located and thoughtfully run boutique hotel with a warm atmosphere - not perfect, but worth it”
The property is beautifully located, with stunning views over the lake and direct access to the lungolago, making it an ideal setting for a relaxing stay. With only a few rooms, the atmosphere is quiet and intimate, which is what I personally look for in a hotel. The staff were excellent: professional, attentive, and genuinely friendly throughout my stay. I travelled with my cat, and when the room was first cleaned, they kindly provided an extra water bowl and a pet blanket! Thoughtful gesture which I greatly appreciated I didn’t use some of the available facilities, such as the bikes, so I can’t comment on those.
