    An amazing place for a relaxed stay for a couple of days

    WiFi was painfully slow (but stable). We booked a table for dinner for the first night but decided to go by ear for the next time, but when we decided to go again there was no table available for like a week. Maybe a system with "first dibs" for hotel guests should be devised. Continental breakfast could use some variation day-to-day.

    Very nice small family-run hotel. Andrea was very helpful and nice. Our split-floor room was spacious, and the view was amazing. The pool area was either empty or almost empty most of the time, so it felt like we had a private pool. The restaurant was great, but you need to book a table way in advance. An amazing place for a quiet and relaxed stay for a few days.

    This is not the hotels fault but on the Friday night we stayed the local bar on the lake had a very loud DJ set going - not great ambience for such an elegant restaurant and hotel.

    Lovely old property with traditional style, charming staff and wonderful views over the lake. Excellent breakfast.

    Two minor suggestions: 1. WiFi coverage throughout the resort using one WiFi name instead of multiple logins when moving between locations. 2. Small glass enclosure to the showers so water does not go all over the floor.

    A beautiful setting in a quaint town, yet close to all the major attractions via an easy ferry ride. The pool is great and the chef has some unique take on Italian local dishes.

    Bed not the comfiest.

    Such a perfect hotel. Location, pool, room, staff, restaurant all made for a lovely few days. Very large rooms with great views. The restaurant was a draw for people from all around it seems and rightly so. Great to sit out on the veranda and enjoy great service food and views. Felt very special.

    Some of the restaurant staff (not the owner's daughter) were pompous and unfriendly. There were no prices or details of wine by the glass on the wine menu.

    Andrea was exceptionally helpful and professional. The restaurant was lovely.

    Nothing really. One thing to recommend (nothing to do with the hotel): book a car to drive around the lake and towns, as there are not many taxi's and they are relatively pricy.

    The greatest thing about this stay was the super friendly and helpful staff! They helped us arrange a tour on the lake, find nice restaurants and arranged transport to and from the hotel. Breakfast was really good as well: you can order any kind of eggs at your table, which is beautifully set and has a great view over the lake. The pool was nice and private and the rooms were decorated beautifully and had a really authentic / old school vibe with different colors for each rooms. All in all a great stay!

    The room had a stunning view of the lake and was spacious and well-furnished. It also had a balcony overlooking the lake and beautiful manicured grounds. The bathroom was luxurious, with fluffy towels, a Frette robe, and lovely soap and lotion. The balcony had a small table and chairs for guests to enjoy the view. The breakfast was a traditional Italian meal, served formally, and any special requests were accommodated. The restaurant for dinner was exceptional and intimate, with a gourmet dining experience, a lovely wine list a knowledgeable Sommelier, and expertly served. This family-run hotel is well-managed, with friendly and accommodating staff, and the Family is charming. The location is outstanding. It was the perfect way to end our vacation.
