Pros:

La tranquilidad y desconexión que se respira allí.

Cons:

Necesita algunas reformas/actualizaciones.
Hoy en día es imprescindible tener enchufes al lado de la mesilla por ejemplo.
Una neverita también sería otro buen añadido.

Verwunschener Ort
Pros:

Ein verwunschener Ort. Wir waren 3 Tage hier und hatten das Hotel und den Poolbereich quasi für uns. Das Personal ist überaus freundlich und engagiert. Die Zimmer sind gross, der Blick vom Balkon atemberaubend, wie von überall im Hotel.
Wir haben im Supermarkt alles fürs Abendessen eingekauft und bei Sonnenuntergang auf der grossen Terrasse gegessen.
Der Poolbereich ist grosszügig, wunderbar angelegt mit schattigen Bäumen, sodass auch im Hochsommer ein Tag am Pool möglich ist. Für eine remote Auszeit der perfekte Ort.

Cons:

Das Hotel hat die beste Zeit hinter sich. Eine Renovierung ist nötig. Restaurants gibt es wenige in der Umgebung. Hierher sollte man kommen, wenn man Ruhe aushalten kann.

A nature-film setting with a romantic-movie hotel
Pros:

For anyone looking for a combination of stunning nature, exceptional peace and quiet, breathtaking views, a beautiful freshwater lake for swimming, and truly comfortable accommodations – this is the perfect place.

The rooms are spacious, the breakfast is generous and delicious, and the property itself is so large and peaceful that it feels more like staying in a welcoming home than in a hotel.

I only wish I could come back for a longer stay.

Cons:

The only thing to keep in mind is that the hotel serves breakfast only.

This wasn't a problem for us at all. Just a short walk from the hotel, there's a food truck by the lake beach. If you need more options, a small town is only a 7-minute drive away, with two supermarkets and two restaurants (we ate at one of them and really enjoyed it). The staff also kindly allowed us to use the bar's refrigerator in addition to the minibar in our room, so organizing our meals was easy.

The peace, tranquility, breathtaking scenery, and the truly unique atmosphere made it more than worth the little extra planning for food.

Pros:

The vibe, the host and the territory are awesome. The breakfast was delicious.

Cons:

The AC in the room didn't work at all. It was super noisy and it was just blowing air like a fan w/o any cooling.
