Why? I have stayed at this property multiple times over the last several years. On each stay, I have been greeted by a very efficient staff and the multi-room apartments have been way extremely spacious for a solo traveler. On multiple occasions, I have asked for wake up calls and coffee at four o’clock am to get to Milan for an early morning flight and the service has been spot on. This is where I have practiced my few sentences of known Italian to an incredibly friendly staff.
While the hotel has a spa and a gym (I have used the latter), to me what is really special is the restaurant overlooking the lake. When you are up early in the mornings and head over for breakfast, the lake view from the garden blooming with flowers is just breathtaking. At night, when the lights come on, it appears as though the view was simply draped with a multi-tier beaded necklace.
While it is a pricey property, you can always go there to have breakfast or dinner and the food has always been simple and fresh.
