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...

Travelling in May, we were fortunate to obtain a great rate over 3 nights and the Hotel gave us a generous upgrade to a suite overlooking the pool and the most stunning sights over the lake to the Snow Capped Alps. The room was not large, but well appointed, clean and very comfortable. Its quite a large hotel and in... More

The room we had was very small, it was well furnished but much too small for two people. We had a beautiful view of the lake from the balcony but it was spoilt by the intolerable noise from the road in front of the hotel. We were with a tour group and had half board, the food was so bad... More
