Nice hotel with an awesome view of the lake. The hotel is located just a couple hundred meters from Italy where there are some great Italian restaurant. The part I don't like is lack of lighting in the hallway. The staff are friendly and super nice. Wife and I enjoyed our 2-night stay very much.

View to kill for...
If you are looking for a quiet get away in idyllic setting, then look no further.

Value for money
It is an old hotel but is kept in immaculate condition. The staff are very helpful and attentive and the views of the lake and surrounds from the room, reception and restaurant area were fantastic. We had a superior room which was smallish but adequate. The airconditioning does not work well so we doubt we'd choose this hotel for a mid summer stay. We were there in early October. We'd certainly stay again - it is great value for money.

Good view but not really 4 star
Hotel has great views of the bay from all rooms and the resturant. However the rooms are dated for a 4 star hotel and the one we were in had no aircon, which would be ok in the cooler months but in the summer meant that to sleep we had to leave the balcony door open to cool the room, this left us at the mercy of the smokers.next door and the local road noise. Also not a great deal of English language TV in the room.

Hat alles gepasst. (Ausser das Wetter).
Waren nur eine Nacht dort und hatten Glück ein Upgrade zu erhalten. Nochmals Danke.
Direkte Sicht auf den See vom Zimmer und Restaurant.
Das Personal war sehr freundlich und das Nachtessen hat sehr gut geschmeckt.
