I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms had a large terrace where we could have breakfast, offering stunning side-lake views. The service was excellent, with the staff being very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The location was perfect for exploring the Borromean Islands and only a pleasant 20-minute walk from the main town. The dining experience was fair, with a good selection although lacking fresh vegetables. Overall, a great value for money.

The hotel offers beautiful and modern rooms that are airy, but with some room for improvement in terms of the shower and bed comfort. The service is friendly and overseen by a professional manager who adds a touch of fun to guests' experiences. The location is ideal for exploring the surrounding attractions, although there are some challenges with water temperature fluctuation in the shower. The dining options are basic but well-organized, catering to a broad range of tastes. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.
