Gutes, zentral gelegenes Hotel mit eigenem Pool.
Pros:

Zentrale Lage mit eigenen Parkplätzen. Sehenswürdigkeiten und Ortszentrum gut zu Fuss erreichbar. Ruhige Lage. Den Swimmingpool habe wir genossen. Vielfälliges Frühstück.

Cons:

Die Bedienung hätten aufmerksamer sein können und von sich aus nachfragen. Ansonsten waren wir sehr zufrieden.

A lovely place to stay with wonderful views across the lake
Pros:

The location of La Bussola is fantastic with wonderful views over the lake. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good with everything we wanted available. We loved the swimming pool with really nice sun loungers and umbrellas. It very peaceful and a nice place to stay.

Cons:

We were a bit disappointed with our room- I should say we didn’t complain as the hotel was very busy. We were located away from the main hotel on the side and on the ground floor. It felt like the room isn’t used so much and was very dated. The shower was quite mouldy and old. It is sometimes difficult to tell
What you are booking on websites - we went for a large double bed - I think it would be worth saying you want a room in the main building or at least on the first floor.

buono potrei ritornarci
Pros:

cenare sulla terrazza del ristorante e' impagabile personale molto gentile l'hotel dispone anche di un comodo parcheggio privato si potrebbe migliorare un po' la colazione il menu' del ristorante e' ottimo

Cons:

la colazione con prodotti di maggiore qualita' sarebbero gradite le spremute fresche non da super mercato e le uova strapazzate andrebbero fatte al momento
