What a cute place from the outside and what a great location but I am afraid that's where it stops! Room very small and basic which is fine but extremely noisy coming from other rooms and it wasn't the cleanest , also always smelt of cooking fat so we didn't eat here, wouldn't go back.

The rooms are basic, very small shower(really small) but it has hot water and clean towel. We asked for one more towel from the owner simone and he kindly gave us. It doesnt include air condition but... More

It was a very nice hotel, simple as one would expect from a 1 star hotel, but clean, with a nice view and much than a fair price. The best is the location, just in the middle of a small square. Very nicely served by the owners, who gave the family spirit to the place.

Simplicity and perfection go hand in hand. Our delight today is the same as in past years. It is good to see that such a wonderful hotel stays in the same family and is passed from generation to generation. Our best wishes go to mother and son. You are doing very fine! Thank you!

We wanted a more casual evening after a day out on the boat. Sun was going down and the wind was picking up a bit. Just off the main square Ristorante Vapore was nice and sheltered but still had a decent view over the lake. We watched the flags changing with the wind over the little boat sculpture in the... More

I have stayed at this hotel on two occasions in 2007 and 2008 and found the accommodation to be clean and comfortable, it was not luxurious but very good value for money. It is very friendly and family run. The food was lovely. The location is excellent, right on the square overlooking the water. I would definitely recommend this hotel... More

Good honest Italian food, wonderful atmosphere, friendly service even though very little English spoken - and our Italian is very limited. Sitting outside at lunchtime right on the water was very special.

This is a small family-run hotel which is really wonderful for the price. The rooms are basic, but are cleaned and new towels provided every morning. Very cosy and warm when we were there during a rainy cool couple of days. The owner and her dog are delightful; and the food in the hotel's restaurant was the best meal we... More
