Very nice apartment with lake views
Pros:

Our apartment was great. It has a small view of the lake from our own thermal bath. The staff were friendly and helpful. The pool being thermally heated was excellent as it meant that our kids could still swim even though it was very cold and windy!

Cons:

The apartment was near the pool and we could see people walking to and from the pool from our balcony and they could see us!
Also, there is a big glass coffee table where we kept banging our legs into (so not very children friendly).
