โรงแรมเดอชาร์ม ลาเวโน

A truly lovely hotel. The staff, food and accomodation were really great - the lakeside views just beautiful. The perfect location for a really relaxing break whilst being pampered.

This is our 2nd visit based on our experience last year. Firstly this hotel is a beautiful calm gem. It is a clean, fresh, modern boutique hotel with charm and it feels like you have a secret that you don't want anyone else to know. Secondly, the real secret is the Michelin level Italian food at its finest. We have travelled the length and breadth of Italy and Sicily and honestly, how Carmino and team have not got 2 Michelin stars is beyond us .. from the locally sourced salads and cheeses to the carefully constructed nightly menu of fish, meat and vegi options, this place is as good as any Michelin restaurants we have been lucky enough to visit and is of the same level as some of the best restaurants in the world. Fresh, basic Italian ingredients served beautifully with combinations you would not normally see. Tonight's ricotta gnocchi and sea bream are just a couple of examples. Pictures enclosed. Then there is the service from the team.. reception, waitresses and the front of house team cannot do enough to make your stay beautiful but there is no forced air of yes sir/madam. Just a friendly team who really wants you to be happy, including a greet with the chef tonight so I can say thanks and seeing the spotless kitchens. The backdrop of the mountains, greenery and lack of tourists is a bonus of course but the prices for coffee and aperitivo, are very reasonable along with the e- bike hiring, free steam room, sauna and spa space that is the quality of any 5 star London hotel and just another level of massage and pool overlooking the lake. We had to book in advance but if the team stays then we will be back every year... Thanks and we look forward to another couple of days.
