I’ve stayed in Europe traveling around for approximately 3 years. The Bellevue Palace stay was the best experience I’ve ever had, exceeding all past stays greatly. Great appreciations to Sarina Schnegg, Joana Heim, and Andreas Rüfenacht. The three ladies and gentleman showed great hospitality, communication and genuine care. Planning to return on November for an anniversary, hope to see you all soon!
