Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is the road noise really that bad?
Yes, for lake-facing rooms on lower floors. The road is a main artery. Park-facing rooms are the fix.
Is breakfast included?
Usually yes, and it's spectacular. If your rate doesn't include it, expect to pay €50+ per person.
Can I bring my dog?
Yes! One dog per room stays for FREE. They get a welcome kit but are restricted from the main restaurant and pool.
How do I get to the pool across the street?
Uniformed staff will literally stop traffic for you to cross safely. It's part of the service.
Is there a dress code?
Smart casual. Men often wear long pants for dinner at La Terrazza (shorts have been refused in the past).
Do I need a car?
No. The ferry stop is minutes away, and the hotel has private boats. A car is a liability due to traffic and parking costs.
Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
Book via a Virtuoso agent to often get the $100 spa credit and upgrade priority.
- ✨
The 'Billiards Room' has a secret 'Clue' vibe—perfect for a rainy day whiskey.
- ✨
Ask for a table at 'L'Escale' on the veranda for a more casual but still stunning dinner than the main restaurant.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The 'beach' is man-made with sand brought in, but it feels surprisingly authentic.
💡You can hear the ferry horns from the lake-facing rooms (romantic to some, annoying to others).
💡The indoor infinity pool in the spa is often empty even when the outdoor pools are packed.
💡Room keys are heavy brass tassels—you leave them at the desk when you go out.
💡The 'Flower Pool' in the back garden is dead silent compared to the floating lake pool.
