Reviews and Ratings
The rooms with a spectacular view of the Ticino mountains were disappointing; they have lost all their beauty and romance. However, they were made up perfectly each afternoon. The service was so friendly and helpful, it almost felt like staying with friends. The location is a bit out of the way but suited us. The dining experience was fantastic, while the facilities were top-notch.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and well-equipped with a nice layout. The service was exceptional, with the staff being friendly, helpful, and accommodating. The location was beautiful and ideal for relaxation, and the dining experience was delightful. The facilities provided added to the overall enjoyment of the stay.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were fairly large, well-laid out, and beautifully designed, but there was a small room without windows and limited facilities overlooking the pool. The dining experience was outstanding, almost the best I've had, and the facilities were top-class.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of great and not-so-great experiences. The setting of the hotel was fantastic, with a beautiful bathroom and a large outdoor private garden; however, the room was small, without windows, and faced directly into the building's toilet windows. The service was unfailingly courteous, but there were some language barriers for non-German speakers. The location, while a bit out of the way in an area without sea views, suited me well for biking to the film festival in Locarno. The dining experience was fantastic with the best Swiss breakfast I've ever had, but nibbles were lacking. The facilities were good overall.
My stay at the hotel was simply delightful. The room was spacious and well-appointed, featuring a seating area and a lovely private garden. Although I had to wait a bit for the room, it was above the restaurant, which surprisingly didn't cause any disturbances. The small patio was a nice touch, offering a cozy spot to relax.
