Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with extraordinary good pillows in a spacious, beautifully designed room that was clean and featured a great balcony. The location right on the shore of a beautiful lake was truly amazing, although the cold entrance of one of the buildings was a bit uncomfortable. The dining experience was simple and good, but a bit expensive. The staff tried hard to provide good service despite being understaffed, which included a refund for a lower room category. The facilities were top-notch, with fine bread served in the restaurant.
