Pros:

Die Aussicht über den Park, den See und den San Salvatore war einfach phantastisch. Der Service im ganzen Hotel inkl. der Zimmerservice war unterstützend und hervorragend. Beim Frühstück hatten wir immer einen ruhigen Platz. Die geschmackvolle Einrichtung hat uns sehr gefallen, ebenso die Pianobegleitung am Abend.

Cons:

Die Matratzen waren für uns etwas zu weich.
