Lakeside garden was very restful and the swimming pool was clean and quiet. Very helpful and friendly staff who made us feel at home. The hotel's jetty for the boat services on the lake was very convenient.

Lakeside hotel in a beautiful area.

A good hotel with large pool,plenty of loungers and options to kayak, water ski, paddle board. Everyone was very friendly and the food at breakfast and in the restaurant was good. The older part of the hotel could do with some modernisation but overall we had a relaxing and pleasant stay. The area is absolutely beautiful!!!

Nice views. Could use some renovations

Check in and staff (cleaning and breakfast) were professional l. Excellent breakfast. Distinctly above average. The view of the lake was outstanding. The hotel is run down though. It has a 70s/80s vibe. Shame the owners haven't considered investing in a face lift.

This was a great hotel with reasonable prices, and the staff was excellent. The only thing I would improve is the bathroom door- it’s very loud opening it and if you have to go in the night it will wake someone up!

ice hotel

Nice hotel with great free parking. We had balcony room overlooking the lake which was excellent. Room was very clean and comfortable. It had a fridge and a kettle but no cups or coffee provided. The pool area is lovely with plenty of sunbeds. You can walk along the lakefront path to the little town of pettanesco. There is a pleasant lake front cafe bar there and another two restaurants in the centre. It is not possible to walk along the road to the main town. All the staff were absolutely excellent, they were hard working, efficient and very friendly, a real credit to the hotel.

Great Hidden Hideaway

Beautiful accommodations! Short distance from the city center, which was a plus since we had a rental car. The only complaint we had was the internet service was very sporadic! If not for that, I would have no complaints whatsoever!
