Acquarello Swiss Quality Hotel

Acquarello Swiss Quality Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"The marketing does not do this place justice! From pictures online, I was skeptical, but the location and quality of this hotel was above my expectations. The room was nice, bed comfy and breakfast abundant! The entrance is hidden behind large plants as the hotel is tucked into a corner at the base of the funicular. No noise problem!"
