Pros:

The hotel was very good, very close to the lake, the balcony has a wonderful view of the lake and the mountains. The bathroom is good, with all amenities. The bed is clean, comfortable, the room is not small, with high ceilings, it is a beautiful old villa. Stay for a few days and relax. Sit on the balcony for breakfast and enjoy the view of the lake 🍹 God willing, I will come again 😊🙏

Cons:

The only drawback was that the table and chairs on the balcony next to the room were very dusty.
