Wonderful Lakeside Experience

fine location beautiful views hotel pool easy access
This hotel boasts a beautiful location directly on the lake. I enjoyed the convenience of walking to nearby bars and a ferry stop. The ferry offered easy access to other towns. The hotel's pool area was refreshing and provided a pleasant escape from the heat.
The room's hairdryer seemed a bit outdated, though this was a minor inconvenience. I brought my own, so it did not cause major difficulty.
Dining
9/10
The breakfast service provided happy, helpful staff each morning. They helped to start the day positively. A breakfast bag was arranged for our early departure, and this demonstrated attentiveness. The aperol spritz by the pool was also good.
Rooms
9/10
Our room offered an excellent view of the lake. The room was clean and well serviced throughout our stay. The bed was super comfy. It provided undisturbed sleep after our busy days of exploring the area.
Facilities
10/10
The hotel includes a sauna. Access was easily arranged at reception with only a 10-minute notice. The pool area is large and offers plenty of loungers for soaking up the sun. I found it very relaxing.
