The staff was friendly and accommodating. The location can’t be beat for walking along the lake and general atmosphere. We enjoyed the “honesty bar” and outdoor space, including ping pong. The breakfast was delicious, with the best muesli of our trip and excellent croissants. A truly great historic hotel. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d32792cc-7076-4147-8be3-7d826ce1d4ba-1759410865220.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/d216fe56-0116-452d-abac-9c55484e18c6-1759410879413.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/548c9752-ad3d-4910-93b6-b9fea8a4bb82-1759410876365.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lori Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### robert 14 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Would absolutely stay here again ##### robert Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joseph 7 Sept 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice view of the lake.

Swimming pool was gorgeous! Very walk able- little train travels around the village- great for orientation. There is a local bus that will take you from the train station- CABS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE- english speaking- Do not expect a normal wine pour-😢😢-2 fingers of wine is 15$- buy a bottle instead. High end shopping in the vicinity. Women alone diners are second class- Do not let them rush you. 😡 ##### Therese Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 12 Apr 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Perfect stay!
