Hotel Villa Aurora

Smiling faces of the hotel owners and the staff. very good dinner.

Probably a little bit bigger room and looking to the river.

Not speaking German, I found the hotel owners and staff considerate, patient, and somewhat conversant in English, giving me little difficulty in my associations with them. My room was lovely with a stunning view of the town and the grape-vined covered hillsides. Services were exceptional for the price and superior to those comparable to hotels I have frequented in other countries. As I needed to leave very early on my last day, the hotel owner, just beginning her day, stopped what she was doing and provided a light breakfast for me. That was much appreciated.

The only shortfall for me personally was the lack of complimentary wifi. I was unable to use my phone for the internet because their wifi service was only by subscription. (They did let me send an email on their office computer - that was nice). But as far as my further ability to communicate by phone or internet, they said I would have to subscribe to TMobile. Even if I had wanted to do that, I couldn't access the Internet to do so! I would suggest that complimentary wifi be part of the services provided to guests. It's become a standard in the modern world and business travelers expect it. As everything else was impeccably presented, this was acutely lacking and frustrating.

it is a very friendly, family-owned, old world hotel within a short walk of the center of the town. excellent restaurants nearby.
