The accomodation was definitely good! There's a set of cooking tools, incl a 2 pan induction cooker stored smartly like in those wonderful tiny houses you know from internet. We managed to do some nice cooking. There's a bar with 2 high stools, where there's room for 1,5 person to sit at. There's not much space to store your belongings or suitcases... Everything is very clean and tidy The fridge was well equipped with cool beverages and beer.(free of charge) Electronics do play a dominant role in this accomodation. Once you tame the system it serves you right. Until that moment it tries to think for you, closing/opening sunscreens at surprising moments. Well, it's all in the experience of being there. There's a lounge in the central hall where you can get high quality coffee from an advanced coffee machine. (not free of charge). The staff was very kind and helpful. I can really recommend this place to have a very good stay, on walking distance of Lago Maggiore

Über einer Autoniederlassung !! Sicht auf die Straße nicht auf See. Eher was für Studenten oder ne schnelle Durchreise.. Nichts für Paare. Null Romantik und sehr unpersönlich. Sehr modern ausgestattete Zimmer mit viel Technik Schnickschnack. Sehr sauber.

De gastheer was heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. De kamer was heel schoon. Het enige nadeel is dat de kamers niet heel goed geluidsdicht zijn maar daar is zeker mee te leven als je de kamer gebruikt enkel voor te slapen en klaar te maken voor de dag. De ingang van het pand is iets moeilijker te vinden. Het is zeker een aanrader en ik zou hier zeker vaker terug gaan.
