    It was very clean, the bed was super comfy, the breakfast was varied and had everything we needed. The evening meals were amazing. The staff were super friendly and accommodating despite our inability to speak Swiss Italian!

    The hotel is situated in a small mountain village with great views but twisty roads. The room was spacious enough for one with a large en-suite which had a good shower. There is a restaurant which was very busy and the food was excellent....
