AustriaWarm welcome and friendly staff. Dinner and breakfast were both excellent. A great location for walking.
United KingdomThe welcome was friendly, it was an excellent breakfast, so nice to be able to squeeze one’s own orange juice, there was plenty of fresh fruit, pastries and a variety of breads, jams, meats and cheeses.The room was very comfortable. The balcony was large enough for a table and 2 chairs, as well as a deck chair. And the bonus on the balcony was a clothesline and pegs - great for travellers! We enjoyed being able to have dinners on the terrace of the restaurant and drinks on the bar terrace - or if one was watching the Tour de France the bar was a comfortable place to do so! We felt “at home”
