Restaurant Seehotel Sparer In Appiano sulla strada del vino

A place in the sun!!! At this time of year, not many beer gardens or restaurants with outdoor seating are open. We had gorgeous weather and just wanted to enjoy the sun with a drink. We stumbled upon this place by chance. It couldn't be more Italian. Self-service, practical, friendly, and simple. The location is definitely the biggest draw. In winter, you can get a spot in the sun until 4:00 or 4:15 pm. There's an outdoor play area for small children with all sorts of fun toys. Chickens and geese roam around, too. No frills, but they've got their heart in the right place. We loved it just the way it is!

We didn't stay overnight. We just had a drink on the beautifully situated terrace.

I thought long and hard about whether to write this review. If we had paid significantly less, you wouldn't be reading this review. But if I compare the price to performance, the 4**** rating is unfortunately in vain. The staff is truly super nice, very friendly, and helpful. However, untidy tables or an empty glass are unfortunately often overlooked. The entrance area with reception is inviting with cool lamps and seating. However, the reception is untidy and very unsightly as a result. The hotel advertises itself as being family-run. The family is very present in the hotel, less through service than through sheer, sometimes loud, presence. Employees are reprimanded bilingually in front of guests. This is inappropriate and unpleasant for both guests and staff. The senior and junior managers are reserved but particularly friendly and very pleasant in their interactions with guests. The breakfast and lunch snack were very disappointing. The website is much more professional than the hotel itself. Based on that and the prices, we had really high expectations, none of which were met. Finally, I'd like to say that some of the reviews seem suspect to me. They use almost identical wording, and they always talk about "...the professional competence of the staff...", which sounds rather uninformal and therefore seems inauthentic. Unfortunately, no "goodbye," just "bye."

A beautiful spot, quiet and pleasant for hiking. Free boat rentals and a private jetty with free sun loungers.
