Amazing staff with great vibes and attitude, beautiful hotel and incredible view

Raya Switzerland

Loved the location, size of the hotel, staff was amazing and overall experience was more than we expected, which was a lot. The location allowed for easy access to the areas we wanted to see, while also providing options to walk the neighborhood and catch the gondola to Monte Cardada/Cimetta. Breakfast on the terrace was a highlight every day and the room views and amenities were great. We wish we had more time there.

Margaret United States of America

Ioana Romania

An all round extremely top level hotel! The staff by far makes the difference and the facilities are fantastic ( pool, gym, spa, etc!). Big shout out to Leo! always making our sunny summer afternoons by the pool very homely!
