    Lovely hotel with a superb restaurant in a stunning location.

    Other than maybe being slightly pricey, my only suggestion might be that there are no sunshades around the pool. It is quite a small area so maybe that is why, but it gets extremely hot in the afternoon by the pool and there is no shade.

    Absolutely stunning location , surrounded by a cirque, with it's own waterfall in the garden. The staff are very friendly and helpful, we had a "superior room with a balcony" which was lovely, very clean and nicely furnished...and a real highlight is the hotel's restaurant, which is simply superb.

    Maybe the food was a bit expensive, but it was worth it.

    We really liked the surroundings with the woods and possibilities to walk with our dog. Lovely to visit the waterfalls in the wood. Very nice staff, easy to park safe and really good food at the restaurant.

    We stayed here before many years ago, and the improvements to this hotel are impressive. The room was lovely and spacious, and we had a very good dinner and breakfast. The staff were all very friendly, and the surrounding area with the cascades is great for walking.

    the room we were given was a little dated and this room wasn’t shown in any pictures on the website. The fan was very dusty and the bathroom very very basic.

    lovely welcoming staff and nice cosy public areas. Restaurant was exceptional.

    Room was fine, however the restaurant is the high note. Also the location which allows a nice walk to the local waterfall and then on to the river source. Both menus were very good, the poached egg in truffle soup, beef and chocolate layers of the daily menu and the truffle soup. Veal sweetbreads, pork, cheese and plum desert of the ‘Menu Castel’. The most surprising dish was the liquid cheese of the cheese course, almost a mini fondue. The veal sweetbreads were nice and soft, maybe it’s the season but these seemed to be a popular menu entry on this trip.

    Everything was great but we felt restaurant staff was a bit rude not helping us with the meals the language isnt our cup of tea. Felt uncomfortable. Only receptionist speak English well enough to understand.

    Everything was here in one place..including restaurant. Being next to waterfall was a treat to hear and watch.

    Nothing, it was all perfect

    It’s a real little gem that we feel very fortunate to have found. The location is absolutely beautiful and so peaceful, we had a fantastic night stay here. We were really pleased with the super comfortable beds, clean rooms, a fridge and mini bar- not to mention they are dog friendly too. We were very lucky to have been treated to a room upgrade for both the rooms we booked, the upgrade was a lovely gesture and the suites were just lovely. We would highly recommend a visit if you are passing through the area.
