5 jours et 6 nuits à la perle du Lac
Pros:

L'emplacement avec vue sur le lac et la taille de la piscine, l'efficacité du pesonnel

Cons:

Les horaires de la piscine et la lutte contre les moustiques : c'est un vrai problème négligé par les commerçants locaux.

Toller Ort, aber nicht mehr mit ÖVs.
Pros:

Die Lage war fantastisch mit seitlichem Blick auf den See und die Isola San Giulio. Schönes Frühstücksbuffet; leider nur Weissbrot, ansonsten tipptopp. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit; die Zimmer sehr sauber. Badetücher wurden täglich gewechselt (alle 2 Tage würde auch reichen)

Cons:

Als ÖV-Reisende sehr kompliziert, z.B. war für die Rückfahrt zum Bahnhof kein Taxi zu kriegen, obwohl bereits ein Tag im voraus eine Buchung versucht wurde. Zu Fuss ca. 45 Minuten bei 30°C... Zum Glück hat uns jemand vom Hotel nach einigem Hin und Her zum Bahnhof gefahren. Danke :-)

היה נפלא, מקום מקסים!
Pros:

המיקום מעולה במרחק הליכה קצרה מהאגם, וממקום השכרת קייאקים/סאפ באיזור פסטורלי, ובמרחק הליכה מהמרכז. יש חניה ממש נוחה של המלון. בריכה כייפית. אנחנו קיבלנו חדר עם נוף מקסים לאגם. ארוחת הבוקר היתה נהדרת עם נוף לאגם. יש אפשרות לאכול גם ארוחת ערב במלון. הצוות היה מאד אדיב. והעיירה עצמה קטנה ויפה.

Cons:

אין משהו כזה. מאד נהננו!
יש לא מעט יתושים באיזור כנראה בגלל האגם. כדאי להביא אולי דוחה יתושים. הצוות חמוד ואפשרי גם להשאיל ליד חדר האוכל.

Pros:

Het uitzicht was prachtig. Het ontbijt was zeer goed + het uitzicht op het terras. Locatie zeer dicht bij het gezellig centrum. Parking bij het hotel is ook zeer praktisch.

Cons:

Wat rumoerige kamers. Je hoort boven je de haakjes tippelen en stoelen verschuiven. Naast ons kon je duidelijk het hoge kinderstemmetje horen, krijsen uiteraard ook. Geen probleem voor ons maar rond 04:30 uur is wat te vroeg op reis ;-)
