Gorgeous location, all rooms look out over the lake and with decent views of it. There is a lift to take you from reception to the restaurant, or first set of rooms so access is good. Small parking space on the right of the hotel for about 8 cars, but then there are more on the left alongside the road, so should get in ok, It was busy but we still parked without any trouble. Good restaurant with great menu choices, I had the buffet, a dessert size plate which you can fill with salad, meats, fish, etc for 25chf, great value! Hubby had a fish dish for 35chf, really nice but not a huge portion so you might also want a starter or pudding at about 20chf. Wine is expensive as everywher in Switzerland, we chose a cheaper option of white at about 35chf but also had pre-dinner drinks, which we bought at the supermarket beforehand for a cheaper alternative. Small fridges in the rooms, don't chill too much but helps a bit, you might also be able to geta bucket of ice at the restaurant. Staff in the restaurant are first-class. Christina and Vincenzo were absolutely brilliant, Saw what was needed without us having to even ask! Attention to detail here throughout the hotel, is amazing, all smelled fresh, umbrellas new and put up or down promptly to suit the sun. Pool sparkilingly clean, gardens pristine. Lots of room to eat outside at dinnerr, breakfast choices good, hot as well as a full array of breads, pastries, meat, cheese etc. Good disabled access, the hotel was very accomodating, Flat access at front, no steps to dining room, small lift but big enough for wheelchair, would recommend.

Beautiful stay over looking Lake Maggiore. Beautuful hotel with lovely swimming pool and relaxing area. The hotel is located high up, and as a result, there are beautiful views of the lake and the city of Locarno across the way. Continental breakfast was beautiful, loads of choice. Would highly recommend this accommodation.

A wonderful location with stunning views over Lake Maggiore. An excellent, dog-friendly restaurant with stylish menus. Glad there was a lift for my husband to use: the dog and I climbed many steps to acces the garden as the hotel is perched on a ridge. However, the space was very cleverly used with quiet areas as well as a lovely terrace with a bar.

The location is amazing and you have a great view to the lake from anywhere. The restaurant was also very nice and breakfast also! The staff was very nice and made us a package with keys and instructions, because of our late night arrival.

The accommodation was excellent with the balcony with an amazing view of the Lake Maggiore The only thing I could suggest is air conditioning as temperature reaches 30c in summer

Great location with the views over the lake. Breakfast selection is really good, with local cheese varieties and home made jam. Nice rooms with comfy beds, aged but in good shape.
