Fantastic Stay Near the Lake!

perfect location private parking amazing views

The hotel's location is amazing, right on the tip of the peninsula! I easily walked to the Roman villa and enjoyed the views over the lake. Plus, the private parking made it easy to come and go. It was a fantastic visit.

The air conditioning did not cool the room as much as i expected. I found this quite unfortunate. Everything else was amazing though.

Service

9/10

The staff was super friendly and helpful throughout my stay. Reception staff were engaging, attentive, and always ready to assist. They promptly addressed requests.

Rooms

9/10

My room had a large terrace with amazing views. The room was cleaned thoroughly daily with fresh sheets and towels. I requested an extra pillow, and it was delivered immediately to my room, so convenient.

Dining

9/10

Breakfasts were great with a wide range for all tastes. The hotel bought out gluten-free bread each morning and had a stand for gluten-free products, fantastic. I found the food to be nice and of good quality.

Facilities

10/10

The pool area has lots of sun loungers shaded by olive trees with a view of the lake. I saw there was private lake access from the pool area to a tranquil beach. The grounds are beautiful and well-kept.
