We really liked the infinity pool, the jacuzzi and the fact that you could order really great pizza from the comfort of your apartment and have it delivered to you. We stayed in the 2 double bedroom apartment and all four of us were extremely impressed with the experience. Would definitely recommend!

This was a special night for our family so we splurged on the Lake View Suite @ €340 - Room 311 - gorgeous!! and spacious. Staff left us some snacks and a bottle of wine. Very close to shops & restaurants. We skipped the breakfast, although the setting looked beautiful - went to "il Gigi bar" just up the street for croissants and coffee (€8,70 for three of us). Ahhh, the good life!

The hotel is VERY dated, old furniture and fixtures. There were old bodily fluids on the bedspread, the towels had "baked in" dirt on them. When speaking to locals, they said they believe that the hotel is resting on its laurels and it's Michelin starred restaurant.

My son and I had dinner in the main restaurant one night which did not disappoint at all. We took advantage of the inability to get swiss wine outside the country and ordered a nice 2012 Merlot that had a bit of age but was still clearly a young wine. The squash flowers had a flavor which they lacked earlier in the week at a restaurant in Milan and the duck was just fantastic--perfectly cooked with nice accompaniments. I forgot to snap a picture of dessert so I do not recall it but I know we loved it!

Le dimore che la compongono sono circondate da un parco in cui si alternano giardini, piante secolari, piscina con solarium ed un vigneto terrazzato a Nebbiolo. Tutti gli appartamenti de La Darbia godono di una meravigliosa vista sul lago e sul Monte Rosa ed hanno un'area esterna privata: gli alloggi al piano terra presentano un ampio giardino delimitato da una siepe a tralcio di vite mentre quelli al primo piano sono dotati di panoramici terrazzi.
