Schönes Hotel in Contra
Pros:

Der Checkin war sehr einfach. Das Personal war sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Das Zimmer und die Betten waren groß und sehr gemütlich. Es gab eine sehr große Terrasse vor unserem Zimmer zu unserer Verfügung. Das Frühstück auf der Terrasse war klein, aber sehr lecker. Es gab genügend Parkplätze vor der Tür. Gegenüber dem Hotel ist eine Bushaltestelle. Auch wenn das Hotel ca eine viertel Stunde mit dem Auto vom Lago Maggiore entfernt ist kommen wir sehr gerne wieder.

Cons:

Es gab grundsätzlich nichts zu beanstanden. Es ist jedoch von Vorteil, wenn man etwas italienisch kann. Nicht jeder Bedienstete konnte Deutsch reden. Jedoch konnten wir uns trotzdem verständigen. Große Spazierwege im Grünen haben wir am Hotel nicht finden können. Es ist Alles viel zu steil, eine kleine Runde mit den Hunden auf Grünflächen um die Ecke war aber möglich.

Pros:

Für mich war alleine die Auf- und Abfahrt zum/vom Hotel sehr motivierend. Die bergigen, steilen, schmalen Straßen - für mich ein Fest. Das Hotel selbst sauber, gepflegt und das Personal sehr freundlich.
... soprattutto la signora Paula!

Cons:

Die wartenden Busse an der Haltestelle vor dem Hotel waren leider manchmal etwas laut, aber nicht sehr lange. Sehr schade war auch, dass das hauseigene Restaurant geschlossen war.
