We love the views and our room was just recently remodeled and it was so nice. The beds were comfortable. Also the price was reasonable especially for the views we had during our stay.. Very quiet as well.

Old and overpriced
Everything was old and the only thing actually worked was that there were nice towels. Hard to give details of every little thing. Plus, WAY overpriced for what was received. Another issue came up while there, that was resolved by a super nice and understanding desk person. Appreciated him a lot !

Room was very dated and lots of things broken or old. Does not appear this way in pictures, very deceiving.
Also, the pool was taken over by the entire family of one of the staff…very uncomfortable situation.
Wound up leaving a day early.
Tried calling and e-mailing management.
Never got a response.
I would definitely stay away from this place. Especially for the money they charge. It’s absurd.
I would give it zero stars

The views from room's balcony to Lake Como were exceptional. Staff friendly and accommodating. The only downside was the extremely loud air conditioning unit at night. We would stay here again.
