Why people love it

• The food. Reviewers call the breakfast and dinner top quality, and one says it is a true rarity at this price.
• Hammam and relaxation room. A September 2026 guest highlights the hammam with its relaxation room.
• Loyal guests. One guest has stayed seven times, another 3 or 4 times, and another returned in 2026 after staying in 2024.

Why they come back

"A dream hotel, we've been there seven times already! The atmosphere, staff, rooms, location, food... everything is simply top-notch! A holiday for children AND parents!"

The worst thing guests say

In the reviews checked, complaints are mild. A July 2025 guest said the beds are too hard. A 2025 guest said it felt tailored to German guests. A 2026 guest with a dog said dogs are only tolerated, and another said vegetarians have only one option. A June 2025 reviewer called the hotel a bit far from the lake.

Insider tips

• The Varone waterfalls are a few steps away.
• Vegetarians may want to ask about menu options in advance.
• It is a bit away from the lake, so plan on driving to the shore.
