Conseils d'initiés
- ✨
The 'Garden Bar' mentioned in reviews is often the hotel's own snack service—perfect for a quiet Spritz away from the crowds.
- ✨
Use the 'Greenway del Lago' path for a safer, more scenic walk to Lenno or Tremezzo center instead of the main road.

Ask for a room in the 'Annex' if you want a slightly more modern feel and potentially less direct road noise.
