Immediate vicinity to both the train station and the funicular railway connecting the hotel with both the town centre below, and the train station above. Grand old school service in a personalised family-run establishment. Responsive and attentive staff, many nice personalised touches enhancing the overall experience such as free pass to public transport, a farewell gift of locally produced honey
