Pros:

We hebben hier echt een super fijne tijd gehad! Het hotel is modern, brandschoon en het personeel is mega vriendelijk, je voelt je direct welkom. De kamer was ruim, had een heerlijk bed én een balkon met uitzicht, perfect om ‘s ochtends met een kop koffie even helemaal tot rust te komen.

Het ontbijt was lekker en uitgebreid genoeg om de dag goed te beginnen. Zwembadje erbij om tussendoor even af te koelen, en de ligging is top: rustig in Minusio, maar toch heel dicht bij Locarno en het meer.

Kortom: ideaal voor een relaxte break in een mooie omgeving. Wij komen zeker nog eens terug!

Alle OK
Pros:

Frühstück gut, Personal sehr freundlich, beachtliche Ausstattung für ein 3-Sterne- Hotel, sehr sauber

Cons:

An heißen Tagen wäre eine Klimatisierung hilfreich. Die Dusche vor dem Pool braucht ein Face-Lifting. Sie sollte nach draußen verlegt werden (wie im Remorino) damit die Leute tatsächlich duschen, bevor sie ins Wasser steigen.
