Pros:

The bed was super comfortable!

Cons:

The water from the shower went everywhere since there was super a big opening in the doorway. I also wish someone had explained to me that you need your key in the wall for the lights. The tv only had local channels. Not a huge deal but other places I stayed had a smart tv and if you are paying that much to stay here it would be nice to have that.

Pros:

Sehr schöne Lage und ansprechende Einrichtung mit grossen Fenstern um die Landschaft zu geniessen.

Cons:

Zuerst erhielten wir ein Zimmer mit teilweise nassem Teppich, üblem Geruch und Hitze einer Sauna.
Nachdem ich dies der Reception gemeldet hatte bekamen wir problemlos ein anderes Zimmer, was ich sehr schätzte.
Aber ich finde es etwas frech, dass man überhaupt versucht ein Zimmer in diesem Zustand anzubieten.
Dieses Hotel sollte das Highlight unserer Reise sein.

Really beautiful high-end hotel with a stunning location.
Pros:

The hotel has an amazing location with great views of either the mountains of the sea. There is a small waterfall just next to it -and it is possible to hike the hill behind it if you are of the sporty kind. The rooms were lovely, spacious and clean. The design of the interior is great - and the hot tubs in the spa area were nice also. If you ask at the bar, you can bring a glass of wine down to the spa - they offer water, but no bar downstairs.
Really great and varied breakfast - and they offer takeaway lunches for a fair price. This is nice as you can make your own sandwitch.
