very sweet, family-run hotel in a quiet little village in the valley.
as per earlier reviews, i was a little disgruntled that hotel guests were tucked into the compact grey back room for meals rather than in the more glamorous and spacious main restaurant with non-hotel guests - however, the food itself was served in generous portions and we couldn't fault it for choice as we ate something different every night of our stay (i have the photos to prove it!). i liked being asked to make my dinner selections at the breakfast table, so you can simply sit down to dinner later and it all just arrives at the table when you're ready.
there were also daily snacks at tea time - watermelon or home-made cakes for example - and little treats served with drinks from the bar. we also made use of the fresh water fountain and filled our bottles before going on day trips to garda, limone etc.
i absolutely could not fault the staff - they were wonderful, so relaxed and friendly, happy to chat and to teach italian phrases if you attempted them. we bought two jars of their local honey on our last day and they gave us an additional jar of jam too.
my only tiny quibble was that the rooms are fairly compact and although there were aircon facilities available, they were not activated and the hotel would not switch them on - i know it is an eco hotel, but in very clammy weather, it would have been nice to have the option. even with the door open, it was quite airless during the night.
the only other minor point was that it felt a little awkward at times to share the pool with the staff and their kids.
the only reason i wouldnt recommend it to a friend is that it wasn't quite the hotel i was looking for, for a week's holiday - perhaps more of a long weekend style venue, particularly given the size of the rooms - and i'm not sure it would suit anyone else i know. other than that, it is a very good hotel for its category.
