The interiors are really well-finished to welcome the guest. On one wall, you can admire the history of the growth of this magnificent hotel. The growth has been exponential. We didn't stay inside the hotel but we were able to have lunch and dinner inside by booking a little in advance. The tables are made of marble, the chairs are very comfortable, the meson place found on the tables is very well-kept and attentive. The staff, from the reception to the bar and then in the dining room, are all very kind and make you feel truly pampered. We enjoyed the 4-course tasting menu and we also chose to have the wine pairing for each course. What can I say? It was all delicious and carefully prepared. We were also served a welcome by the chef before continuing with our 4 courses. The flavor of each course was balanced and the wine pairing with the courses was magnificent. The wines that were proposed to us accompanied the course well and highlighted the flavor of the dish. I will definitely come back to visit you, thanks again.

The breakfast and lunches are stellar, and the lake view is unbeatable. Excellent value for money. Extremely helpful and friendly staff. My only complaint is the long tablecloths used in the dining room; they tend to be risky, potentially causing trips and falls.
