I woke up in the morning with an incredible mountain and mirror-still lake view. The fresh air of the morning and the tranquility of the surrounding nature were pure bliss. The room gave me all the feeling of comfort and its own terrace was perfect for contemplating the view.
The breakfast room was cosy and intimate, overlooking the lake.
To wake up in a sunny morning and enjoy a homemade tart, coffee, omelette, all with a view. What else can be more pleasant? To relax, disconnect and pampering yourself while laying on the comfortable sun lounge on the shore of the lake.
