Very convenient location, next to restaurants and town center, but also very near the lake. Our room was very suitable to our family of 4. They also have parking space and this is a big advantage if you are coming by car. It is not so easy to find places to park in the street during weekends and high season. The breakfast was amazing, with all kind of fruits and pastries. Service was excellent and their recommendations for activities in the area were very useful.
