Guest Reviews
- Herbert (10/5): - Sehr schöner Aufenthalt, freundlicher Empfang, sehr gutes Essen, bequeme Betten. Ein wunderschönes authentisches Bergdorf.
Sehr zu empfehlen .
- Pia (10/5): Mc tur i Europa - Ett fantastiskt hotell i en by som är väldigt liten men ligger på berget på ca 1000meters höjd
Vägen dit är en upplevelse bara den värd ett resan
- IJsbrand (10/5): - Super vriendelijke eigenaresse en familie.
Even heerlijk tot rust komen in een prachtige omgeving.
- Maurice (10/5): - Alles was perfect. Leuke mensen, goede kamers en goed eten. En niet te vergeten een prachtig uitzicht!
- Keith (10/5): - The views were breathtaking and all the food on the menu was homemade & excellent!
- Gustav (8/5): Great service in a cozy little town - Great service!
Relaxed and beautiful surroundings. The view from the restaurant is great other than that it was very average which isn’t bad.
There’s not really any choice in where to eat and it was good too, basically pizza. At around 17-20 CHF it gets pricey.
- Samantha (10/5): - Super accueil et super cadre je recommande cette hôtel
- Jörg (10/5): Gerne wieder - Traumhafte Aussicht
Mega leckeres Frühstück
- Gaby (4/5): - Locatie is geweldig voor het uitzicht. Het hotel lijkt goed maar vergis je niet. De kamers boven zijn zo gehorig dat je letterlijk ieder hoestje van je buren hoort alsof ze naast je liggen. De badkamer die de gasten zonder eigen badkamer moeten delen ligt naast een kamer, waar wij zaten, ieder druppeltje is hoorbaar alsof het naast je gebeurt.
Bedden zijn planken met matrassen zo hard en dun dat de lattenbodem eronder voelbaar is.
Ontbijt zou van 6.00 tot 9.00 uur zijn. We hebben vanaf 6.30 tot 7.25 gewacht. Toen ging er eindelijk een deur open. Zonder schaamte en excuses moesten we nog 5 minuten wachten. Wij hebben de sleutel ingeleverd en zijn weggegaan zonder ontbijt.
- Lisa (10/5): - We loved it here. Everything was perfect.
- Monique (8/5): - Als je per ongeluk de juiste afslag mist ben je aangewezen op een heel smalle en gevaarlijke bergweg. Bij het hotel geen parkeerplaats wel verder in het dorp. Verder uitstekend! Schoon eenvoudig maar goed ontbijt en goede douche en heerlijke pizza’s in het restaurant! Prachtig uitzicht
- Keith (10/5): - Luckily we arrived in daylight, as the road up to the Osteria zig-zagged in impossible hairpins up from the valley. It's possible that after dark and unlit we might just have turned around and headed for somewhere flat.
However, if we had done we would have missed a completely unique experience. The hamlet of Anzonico clings to the side of an Alp and there is no vehicle access to the Osteria. Parking is in a lay by about 50 yards further up. Having walked back with our luggage, we were greeted by Claudia, the proprietor, who showed us straight to our room, a snug little space under the main building. It had a lobby and a decent sized bathroom, but not much room around the large comfortable bed.
We booked a table on the terrace for dinner and once the dog had been walked around town, we sat down to enjoy a meal in one of the most spectacular locations ever. Claudia served us delicious spritzes, before the day's special menu of fresh salad, fried cheese and bacon pasta and chicken in a cream sauce, finished off with a torta del pane, a variety of bread and butter pudding. We drank local red wine. As we dined, the darkness crept slowly up the valley.
We slept well and managed to get a table at the edge of the terrace for breakfast (fresh bread, jam, local cheese and coffee) where we were dazzled by the light changing on the mountain opposite. Claudia was again polite, helpful and though not fluent in English, spoke enough for us to easily understand.
A unique experience.
- Barbara (10/5): Fabulous - Great quirky hotel with simply stunning views. Staff were very welcoming & friendly. Dinner was beautiful so can’t really fault this place but it’s not a hotel for those with mobility issues as there are lots of steps.
- Jindvir (10/5): - Beautiful location, very nice people. Very clean and cozy place to stay.
- Stefan (8/5): - Klein aber fein, gute Küche, sehr sympathie und zuvorkommende Wirtsleute, empfehlenswerte Unterkunft
- Julia Lucie (8/5): - Sehr freundlich - ruhig gelegen - wunderbar Aussicht
- Stefano (10/5): - The Osteria Anzonico is amazing! SUch a lovely place, the hosts are fantastic, dinner & breakfast are all based on their local home-grown produce and jams, highly recommended!
- Yvonne (8/5): - Verrassend mooie locatie.
- n c (8/5): Charming hillside osteria / hotel - A very charming osteria / hotel in a hillside location. The route up was not for the faint hearted - narrow road with lots of switchback turns, but worth it. The room was modest, but with lovely terrace with mountain views. Evening menu was limited but food was excellent, followed by very pleasant walk around the quaint village. Overall, quite pricey but very relaxing overnight stay.
- Ben (10/5): - Besten Dank, das Essen war sehr lecker. Sehr schöner Familienbetrieb. Kommer sehr gerne wieder.
- Carsten (8/5): - Nette Unterkunft in schöner Lage. Sehr freundliche Gastgeber.
- Marcella (6/5): - Er is echt helemaal niks in de omgeving zelfs geen supermarkt. De natuur en het uitzicht is prachtig en de weg er naartoe een uitdaging maar heel mooi. Het ontbijt was heel matig en de kamers gehorig. Een familiekamer was wel heel fijn. Prima voor doorreis maar verwacht niet teveel. Bediening super vriendelijk, zelfs het zoontje werkte goed mee.
- Stijnie (10/5): - The hostess is super friendly and the room very cosy. You can hear your neighbors but people were also going to bed early like us, so that wasn't a problem. The views are outstanding. The drive up is... adventurous haha. Very good pizza. Would recommend!
- Joerg (10/5): Wunderschön - Wir haben auf dem Weg nach Italien hier einen Zwischenstopp eingelegt und waren freudig überrascht. Eine sehr schöne Übernachtung mit traumhafter Aussicht und mit Abstand die beste Pizza außerhalb von Napoli. Sehr nette und freundliche Betreiber. Auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.
- Werner (8/5): - Gg
- Larsen (10/5): - bien!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Balade en montagne
- Lorenzo (10/5): - We spent one night here for a stopover on our way back to The Netherlands. It was a very nice place to rest and enjoy a gorgeous view on the mountains. The staff was very kind and helpful. The bathrooms were shared but clean and well kept. We had a good night of sleep and a refreshing breakfast. If you are not used to drive in the mountains the road to reach here is quite scary.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Netter Familienbetrieb mit hervorragender Pizza. Station auf unserer Wanderung entlang der Strada Alta. Einfaches sauberes Zimmer mit Etagenduschen. Hat genau den Zweck erfüllt. Gerne wieder.
- Nicole (10/5): Erholung pur - Super Ausblick. Nette freundliche Bewirdschaftung. Ruhig, gut zum abschalten.Essen pizza war auch lecker.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Mooi klein hotel op een berg. Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Lekker gegeten daar savonds.
Super mooi uitzicht over de bergen. Aanrader als je op doorreis bent
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Kamer is vreselijke en t ontbijt zeer primitief. Een paar stukjes brood en een zeer klein stukje kaas en wat jam. Zeker veel te duur. Pizza s avonds wel lekker maar duur. Wel uniek bergdorp en vriendelijke mensen
- Urs (10/5): - Sehr freundliche und herzliche Gastgeber. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.
Das essen war köstlich und der Service einwandfrei.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Der Besitzer des Hotels und seine Frau waren sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit auch für ein paar spezielle Anliegen von uns als Wanderer.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Top. Accueil et repas délicieux.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Tip Top sauberes Zimmer. Es wird täglich geputzt.
Ganz neue, saubere Dusche, WC.
Beim Essen wird auf spezielle Wünsche eingegangen.
Wir fühlten uns rundum wohl
- Shukin (6/5): SK - Nach einer langen kurvenreichen Bergstraße kamen wir zu einem überraschend netten Hotel. Das Essen schmeckt gut aber die Portion ist zu klein, was den Preis zu teuer macht. Bei der Zahlung wird die Rechnung in Euro geschrieben, steht aber auf der Speisekarte, bei der Buchung des Hotels handelte es sich um Schweizer Franken,natürlich haben wir auch CHF bezahlt. Im Allgemeinen ist es ein gutes Wanderhotel.
- Jean-Pascal (10/5): excellent et magnifique - Un séjour génial, dans un cadre superbe et tranquille. L'accueil et super sympathique, menu du jour très bien. une chambre très belle et terrasse privative, le tout pour une prix très raisonnable
- Ursula (8/5): - Das war ein schöner Aufenthalt in einer wunderschönen Umgebung!
Wir haben tolle Wanderungen gemacht und auch dir Busverbindungen zum Tal waren perfekt!
- FrançoisChampér (10/5): - Super calme sympa accessible difficile en voiture mais prévoir une petite voiture
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Have to move luggage two floors upstairs was difficult
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Das was man von einem alten Osteria erwarten kann. Nette Freundliche Leute
- C E (10/5): Osteria Arzonico - Perfect spot for a great retreat. Awesome area, superb service, a true swiss gem. Would come back anytime. Thanks!
- Verified traveler (4/5): Niet meer naartoe gaan - De voorzieningen zijn minimaal. Een glas of een beker was zelfs niet aanwezig in de badkamer. Er was slechts ruimte voor 1 nachtkastje. Het hotel is alleen te bereiken via een zeer steile en ook nog eens erg smalle weg met veel haarspeldbochten.
- Gertrud (8/5): Rustico Etappenhotel Strada Alta Wanderung - Sehr sympathische Gastgeber, tolle und saubere Rustico-Unterkunft auf Strada Alta Wanderung, super Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis.
- Verified traveler (6/5): - Petit hôtel sans prétention. La chambre était minuscule sous les toits au point où il n était pas possible de se tenir debout! Le lit était fiché sous la pente du toit. Couché, nous avions la poutre à 40 cm de notre tête. Hôtel beaucoup trop cher pour dormir dans un cagibi sans sanitaires. Seul lieu pour manger dans le village. Cuisine minimaliste.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Wel erg kleine kamer voor 3 personen. Ik moest er zo ongeveer kruipen om mn hoofd niet te stoten
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Uitstekende service, was portomonnee vergeten. Kreeg meteen bericht en ze sturen hem op!
Verder lekker eten , ruime kamers en vriendelijk personeel.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - Het personeel was vriendelijk en het eten was goed.
We werden alleen weggestopt op een zolderkamertje met als toegang een gammel trapje dat voor ons als 65-plussers een hindernis was.
Bovendien kon ik niet rechtop staan onder mijn hoofd aan de zolderbalken te stoten.
Toilet en wasgelegenheid op de gang met onder ons een ruim bezet kindergezind die deze voorziening nogal blokkeerden.
- Johannes (10/5): Verblijf on the top. - Mooi verblijf in karakteristiek dorp.
Géén uitgaans gelegenheid in het dorp!
Weg er naar toe is erg smal!
- Andrea (10/5): - Herzlicher Familienbetrieb und schöne, saubere Zimmer.
Das Essen war zwar nicht spektakulär, aber dennoch lecker.
- Marc (8/5): Zeer vriendelijk personeel - Zeer vriendelijk personeel. Spreken wel overwegend Italiaans en een beetje Duits. Het zijn hele kleine kamertjes maar prima voor een overnachting als je op de doorreis bent. Schitterend gebied. Je zit op bijna een kilometer hoogte dus een mooi uitzicht over de bergen.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Nice view, good service. Nevertheless, our room was in the attic, the height of the roof was very low which hindered mobility inside the room, not very comfortable.
- Al (10/5): Familiäres kleines Hotel mit einmaliger Aussicht - Die Aussicht ist außergewöhnlich, es ist eine kleine, nette Gastronomie angeschlossen mit unglaublich leckerem Eis. Die "Herbergseltern" sind sehr freundlich und bemüht. Der Wohlfühlfaktor ist auf jeden Fall gegeben.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Pleasant stay, great host - Location is a bit off, but overall one-time good experience, not sure we would go there again. Great host, and comfortable beds.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Motorcycling in Switzerland / Short-term booking - We booked the accommodation on short notice the same day on a motorcycle tour.
The host was very friendly, nice restaurant with an 3-course evening menue. Value for money concerning the dinner was OK (25 CHF), considering the local price level in Switzerland.
The hotel room was very small and at souterrain, rather cold and much to our astonishment, there was no heating whatsoever (which is kind of a no-go in fall, winter and early spring, considering the altitude of the location and low temperatures at night). The accommodation was clean however. The main disappointment was the breakfast served - some 5-6 pieces of cutted baguette, 1 piece of cheese for 2 persons (!!!), and two tiny cups of yelly - the coffee was fine. We asked for some more cheese and bacon, got two little sandwich pieces served which were charged with additional 14 CHF. Ridiculous!
- Verified traveler (8/5): Outstanding place, beware of the restaurant prices - What I liked: extremely pretty and special place to stay in... It´s in a village with around 1000 population, you barely see anyone in the streets, I presume it will be boring for long stays but for short stay to be away from busy towns, definitely worth it. The road to the hotel a little scary, you have to drive a long road up the mountain and there is space for only one car,,
What I did not like: the food from the restaurant was extremely expensive and there was no menu.. the lady there told us the menu, we made our order and long story short it was the most expensive food I have ordered in my life. A written menu would be preferable to avoid surprises.
- Jean-François (10/5): Strada alta - Accueil sympa et chaleureux. Auberge simple mais propre (fan de TV et non adeptes de routes vertigineuses en montagne s’abstenir) De là, superbes balades sur Strada Alta tessinoise.
- Rita (8/5): Het hotel lag verrassend hoog in de bergen. - Het was voor ons een heel prettig, gastvrij hotel, waar we ons meteen thuis voelden.
- bonhomeau (6/5): trop petit - Chambre de bonne avec trois lits?, pas de télé, toilette et salle d'eau en bas.
- Road (8/5): Lovely little b&b in picturesque village. - Anzonico is a beautiful little village full of attractive chalets. We drove up a very narrow, extremely windy road to reach it. There was a slightly bigger, also very windy road which we took to get back down to the main road. Osteria Anzonico is a pretty building and our room had a balcony with great views of the mountains. The owners were very welcoming. It was very quiet when we were there at the beginning of June, with just a few other guests and the restaurant menu was very limited, but the food was very fresh and well-cooked and we enjoyed our meal. A group of locals were there having pizzas and there was a nice atmosphere as we all sat outside to eat. We would have like to have stayed longer to do some walking in the area.
