    Very hospitable family-run hotel. The hosts went the extra mile to feel us welcome with our newborn baby. We also appreciated the practical location and historical charm of this place. The family have clearly been successful at welcoming travelers...

    The property is very close (a couple of minutes on foot) to the Lavorgo train and bus station, from where you can easily go in north (Lucerne, Zürich) and south (Lugano, Como) directions. The surroundings are quiet. There is a restaurant onsite...
