"The highlight of our visit was Verena herself who made us feel so comfortable. She was a most gracious host who personally welcomed us at the door. Her guesthouse is beautiful, meticulously cared for, and very comfortable. Her breakfasts were delicious. especially her personally-prepared bacon and eggs as well as local products. Her Swiss dinners were exquisite."

10/10 Excellent
"Top notch hotel in old Lucerne! Staff very helpful with restaurant and touring recommendations that worked out great. Room a bit small but very clean, but we went for the least expensive room so we expected that plus it’s an old historic hotel building which was great. Restaurant breakfast and bar drinks great!! The restaurant for dinner is the best in Lucerne!! Highly recommend the Saddle of Roe Deer and bone-in Filet Mignon. Lucerne is the most picturesque town we’ve ever been to in the world!! Go there :)!!"
