Sits right on the lake. Fantastic pool area, gardens, resaurant and facilities. About a half mile from both town and the cable car to the mountain. Ask for a balcony room. It will either look over the beautiful gardens or the lake itself. I can't say enough about this hotel.

2 nights stay in this hotel. We had the view to the kitchen of the hotel and in the morning we also had kitchen smells. The hotel looks really nice outside but the standard rooms are like in a 2 stars. Plus they charge 5 EUR for 1 hr for internet. If you reserve a room in this hotel make... More

Excellent check in, but the room we were given, although overlooking the lake, was on the small side. We asked to change rooms and Samantha at reception was SO helpful. We changed to a larger room overlooking the outdoor pool, garden, lake & mountains. Breakfast and dinners were plentiful & excellent and the dining room staff were charming & extremely... More

Located right on the lake front, this hotel provides a fairly high level of service and comfort. Check in was quick and efficient, we were shown to our room which faced the central pool area, which was filled with families of vacationeers. This hotel appears to attract regular cumstomers you return year after year with their families, so many of... More

The heading says it all really, room was luxurious with superb views over the lake. Breakfast was ok, but we dined once in the evening and were left disappointed. But a nice enough place to stay.

Forget about the scenery which is stunning, forget about the property because it's really nice but if there's one thing that I will take back from this hotel stay, it's how easy going and accommodating the staff are. From the moment I parked my rental car until I left five days later, I felt totally relaxed throughout this visit. They... More

Brilliant location with magnificent views. Our room was on the third floor facing the lake, was of an adequate size and, of course, had stunning views - room was clean and comfortable. Overall the decor of the hotel was excellent and facilities were very good - particularly liked the indoor pool and small gym, as well as the outdoor pool.... More

This hotel promised so much - the outside area is beautiful with flowers and fountains, the lobby and hallways are elegant and palatial. The even have a horizontal elevator - that was a real surprise! The room we had, however, was so tiny that the suitcases were crowding us out. Other people in our tour had very large front rooms...
