  : Beautiful place with great lake views. Great breakfast at a location nearby with super friendly staff. Good accessibility from the road (we were able to park right in front of the building) by elevator and a few steps up to the apartment.
  : Our superior double could use a little love - some renovations (floors, cupboards), but especially many small things could enhance the experience a lot. There is a lot of unused space, how about a second mirror for example in the entrance gangway. Insect nets in the window to cool down at night and in the bathroom (or a vent). The terrace would have a great lake view but theres a bush right in front, that blocks the view - why not cut it.

  : We arrived by train. We took a taxi and it cost 45 SWF to get there. Once we figured out the buses, we took the buses for the rest of our stay and back to the train station with our luggage. It was so easy and we should have done it upon arrival. The apartment was beautiful. It was hot there so we were glad there was an air conditioning unit. The apartment is on a hill so you have a gorgeous view of the lake from the balcony. The owners were very nice and accommodating. We arrived early for our reservation and they gave us a place to change into our swimsuits so we could get out on the lake. They have two free paddle boards and kayaks to use. We enjoyed our stay. Within 10 minutes walk there is a nice free, public beach(no sand) . Its more of a grassy area with lounge chairs, a restaurant /bar and an area to swim. Its a rocky when getting in the water so bring water shoes. We spent a day there and it was so relaxing.
  : The only downside is that there were a lot of stairs. We had carry on bags but it still gave us a workout to get to the top apartment. The trip up the stairs was well worth it. If someone cannot do stairs, this particular apartment is not the right place.

  : The B&B is positioned on the hillside next to the lake so the views from the front are wonderful. Breakfast is served at the hotel opposite which has a wonderful terrace overlooking the lake. we had free access to the hotel's canoe and kayaks which was a real treat. There is a regular bus service from outside the hotel in both directions and you get a free pass from reception which we made good use of as it saved us driving/ parking.
  : We booked a Superior Double Room with Garden and Lake View which stated it had a balcony and private entrance. The photos showed a balcony with a wonderful view of the lake which was the reason we booked it. Unfortunately on arrival we received a room at the side of the house with no balcony. It had a small garden area but we could hardly see the lake due to the vegetation around it. The furnishings were quite basic for what we paid for the room and it was very hot at night so could do with air con. Because of this we felt the room was very overpriced and would have chosen another option if we'd have known.

  : Far and yet close, this place overlooks the beautiful lake and provides great view of the island of Brissago. The street that separates the main hotel (Art Hotel) and the apartments, has a direct bus connection to Ascona and Locarno. It was very quiet and picturesque place to walk or simply to sit at the balcony and soak in the view. Additionally the hotel Kayak and Canoes are free for hotel guests, perfect for summer days.
  : Everything was beautiful, if I would have to say one thing that could be improved are the doors leading to the main hallway. They didn't close completely so we could see light peaking through in the night, as well as hearing other guests/hotel staff working just outside our room. So it was a bit loud sometimes, but since we spent most of the day outside, it was not so negative.
