Pros:

Ce fut parfait pour un séjour en famille dans un bel appartement bien équipé, spacieux, lumineux et avec une très belle vue.

Cons:

Il y avait une drôle d'odeur pas tres bonne dans l'immeuble, sans doute un probleme d'aération mais qui n'affectait pas les chambres.

Das Wochenende war toll
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist außergewöhnlich. In sehr schöner Lage direkt am See sowie am Fährhafen. Alles in der Stadt ist gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. Die Ausstattung des Hotels ist nichts außergewöhnliches aber alles ist gut in Schuß. Das Frühstück ist gut und man sitzt dabei in einem Speiseraum mit sehr schönem Blick über den See. Die Angestellten des Hotels sind freundlich und zuvorkommend. Sie sind zum Teil mehrsprachig (italienisch, deutsch, englisch). Dieses Haus kann man weiterempfehlen.

Cons:

Für negative Punkte war mein Aufenthalt zu kurz.
