Definitely one of the best hotels I have ever been. The whole atmosphere of the house and the surrounding area but also the rooms, breakfast, music during breakfast and the discreet but perfect service (not to intrusive) makes you feel like being in a grand hotel of the last century. Next time I actually want to wear a better outfit to celebrate it even more 😄👍 Thanks to the whole team and keep on

Harry Potter style hotel with great dinner

Great hospitality and service. The hotel has history and the food is great. Because of the age of the hotel the room (#2) was clean, bit a bit dusty. Parking was challenging.

Imprevistos na estadia

Ficamos poucas horas no hotel porque o mesmo teve um incĂȘndio na cozinha, o que inviabilizou a estadia, mas o hotel atĂ© a hora que ficamos tem uma vista linda. Contudo, ao voltarmos da caminhada, teve o incĂȘndio. Ficamos em outro hotel por conta do proprietĂĄrio. NinguĂ©m se feriu, ainda bem

Nicht lohnenswert, furchtbares Essen, ringhörig...

Der Parkplatz ist eine Zumutung, sofern man es auch findet. Dazu kommt das, dass Fahrzeug gerne an der unteren Schwelle ansteht, geschweige vom manövrieren damit man ĂŒberhaupt in den Parkplatzareal hineinkommt. Areal ist auch nicht gerade der richtige Begriff dafĂŒr. Zimmer ringhörig, aber wirklich ringhörig, man hört die Fliegen des Zimmer nebenan. Das Essen hĂ€lt nicht lange an, es verlĂ€sst den Körper relativ frĂŒh wieder, zum GlĂŒck auch. Nein im ernst, einmal und nie wieder. Die Crevetten in den Teigwaren waren latschig, die Teigwaren roh und der rest darunter nicht definierbar. Das einzige positive ist die Aussicht / Panorama, aber das ist gerade alles. Sie fragen auch nicht bei der Kreditkarte ob es in der eigenen WĂ€hrung oder in der LandeswĂ€hrung gebucht werden soll, diese Entscheidung ĂŒbernehmen sie selbststĂ€ndig, natĂŒrlich zu ihren gunsten. Das ist mal eine ehrlicher Bewertung. WĂ€re froh hĂ€tte ich selbst eine solche im Vorfeld gelesen.

Grandiose Lage, aber nur fĂŒr FußgĂ€nger

Anreise sollte mit leichten GepĂ€ck erfolgen, eine direkte Anfahrt ans Hotel ist nicht möglich. Kleiner Parkplatz in ca. 400m Entfernung ĂŒber steile Kopfsteinpflaster sehr schwierig anzufahren, sehr eng und schnell voll. Öffentliche ParkplĂ€tze (an Wochenenden und Feiertagen kostenpflichtig) ca. 1 km entfernt. Man muß sich trauen durch verwinkelte, enge Gassen zu fahren. Die Lage in einem schönen Bergdorf mit engen Gassen und wunderbarem Blick entschĂ€digt aber fĂŒr die MĂŒhe. FrĂŒhstĂŒck war ausgezeichnet, Tisch fĂŒrs Abendessen sollte man in jedem Fall vorbestellen.

Wonderful location and something special

The hotel and restaurant is beautifully located on the side of the mountain. We had lake side view which is astonishing. The atmosphere of the hotel is 1930ies, which almost makes you feel like traveling in time. The breakfast due to COVID is preordered, but everything was fresh made and all wishes where cared for also changes from day to day. Eating in the restaurant for dinner is a special experience it truly lives up to romantic getaways.
