Entspannter Kurzurlaub zum geniessen
Pros:

Lage direkt am See - Frühstück ausgezeichnet - Parkplätze direkt im Hof - Personal mehrsprachig, hilft bei Ausflugsplanung und Restaurant-Reservierungen, immer sehr freundlich - Zimmer sehr sauber und ordentlich, täglicher Service - die Betten waren sehr bequem und groß. Toller Ausblick auf den See und die Berge.

Cons:

Alles Top, einzig das ständige Hundegebell vom Nachbargrundstück trübt die Entspannung.

Pros:

3 Nächte am Lago di Varese die Spaß gemacht haben.
Wir fanden eine schöne am See gelegene Unterkunft vor. Die Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbeteitschaft des Personals ist hervorzuheben.
Tolle Leistung auch abends im Restaurant, es paßte alles. Der sehr umsichtige und erfahrene Restauranleiter ist der Garant des Hauses.
Alles in einem tolle Tage in einem kleinen gut geführten Haus.
Weiter so!
