    Charming and calm place
    • Leisure trip
    • Family with young children
    • Standard Triple Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Only the shower in the room was a little bit outdated and difficult to close but it is a minor thing.

    It was even better than the pictures! Beautiful location on the river, very relaxed atmosphere and the room was so big! And the view on the maintain and river from the room (upstairs) is magical and breathtaking! The beds were GREAT, very clean everything and welcoming people. We regret the damage of the road towards the Lake Melo so therefore maybe it was not so busy in the season. It's a lovely place with charm and very cosy!

    The Room needed some maintenance- broken catch on glass door to balcony, broken hook on back of bathroom door, no electric jug or glasses, broken soap dispenser in shower….

    Location is fabulous - quite romantic with the sound of the river and the beautiful trees surrounding the hotel. Reception staff ere all friendly and helpful

    The mattresses was a bit deep in the middle, we've mentioned this to the reception. It was immediately noted down, we expect it to be resolved.

    The location is absolutely fabulous! Staff are nice and helpful. Room was clean and all right. Breakfast very good.

    We spent 2 nights there, and there isn't much to criticize. The price was right for what we got. Nothing fancy, and we were not expecting it either.

    The location was perfect, beautiful setting and very convenient specially for those who want to do some hikes. The beds were very comfortable and everything was clean. The breakfast very good with plenty of local options to choose from.

    The beds weren't comfortable. Old mattresses.

    Excellent location at the beginning of the awesome Vallée de la Restonica. Ideal for hiking tours and bathing in the river. There are comfortable and picturesque sitting areas at the river, even sunbeds. There is also a good restaurant. Just amazing.

    The only point which could have been improved is the quality of the mattresses. They were fairly thin and hence an 8 out of 10 rather than a 10. But all in all we had a fantastic time.

    This hotel is set in a stunning location with the relaxing flow of the river alongside it. The staff are friendly, the food was delicious and the room was super clean. Evenings spent on the terrace enjoying a glass of wine were exceptional.

    Not possible to open the window, I sleep with an open window, so I needed to sleep with an open door, I did not feel safe. If you are sensitive sleeper, due to mountain river is very noisy 😁

    Very nice terrace, breakfast, the mountain river 😊

    The rooms were a little dated but perfectly clean and comfortable with good aircon.

    The location of the hotel was unbelievable. We'd seen photographs when booking but they didn't do it justice. The Restonica river running through the hotel grounds was superb and very unique, if you like the great outdoors then this is the place to be. The bar and restaurant were good, it wasn't fine dining but the service, food and drink were all perfectly good. It was a little bit of a walk into town or a short drive. We went hiking on the Restonica trail which was superb. If you are looking for an active trip with absolutely superb scenery then this is the place to stay.
