This is truly a remarkable place to stay. It has a late Victorian gentility and charm that is totally beguiling, and it’s lakefront location can’t be beat. Relaxing on the well-shaded lawn on the lake, with high Alpine peaks plunging into the opposite shore, is a peak life experience, truly transcendent. The staff was uniformly warm, responsive, and helpful. We checked in on a viciously hot afternoon and I thought we were in for an uncomfortable stay as the hotel has no a/c. But at our request the staff found a couple of very effective floor fans and the night cooled off so quickly we were very comfortable. Of course, cooling off every so often in the clear turquoise lake water only made it better. I had a lake view single, and while small, it was intelligently laid out and the lakeside windows covered almost the whole wall, making it feel much bigger. We only had one meal in the restaurant, which was excellent (although expensive by American standards, as virtually all area restaurants are). Overall, I can’t rave enough about this place. I wanted to stay for months.
