Breakfast
At Hotel S.Maria, breakfast is generally well-received, with many guests appreciating the ample and varied selection. The buffet offers a range of choices to satisfy both sweet and savory preferences, often including staples such as eggs cooked to order, sausages, and cheeses. Guests frequently highlight the picturesque setting for breakfast, often enjoyed on a terrace with stunning views of the lake, enhancing the dining experience. The service is commendable, with attentive staff willing to accommodate individual requests. Although some guests note a lack of variation day-to-day and a desire for more diversity in bread and roll options, the overall consensus is that the breakfast is hearty, satisfying, and offers good value for its price. Additionally, the convenience of a self-service approach and the generous portion sizes contribute to a relaxing start to the day, in line with typical Italian breakfast standards.
Dinner
Hotel S.Maria offers a dining experience that has garnered both praise and mixed feedback from its guests. Many guests appreciated the varied selection of dishes available for dinner, often served as a 3-course meal with multiple options to choose from. This variety, along with the option to pre-select meals in the morning, was well-received. Several guests found the food to be delicious, highlighting the diverse and super tasty Italian cuisine. The convenient dining experience by the lake added to the charm, with meals often served on the terrace when weather allowed.
Half-board dining comes recommended, with some highlighting the benefit of choosing from three main dishes for the second course. However, while many found the dinners to be excellent and satisfying, others described them as only satisfactory, with certain meals feeling repetitive or lacking in flavor. Suggestions for lighter fare and more fresh herbs were noted.
The dinner menu is primarily available in German, which may require consideration for non-German-speaking guests. Vegetarian options appeared limited, suggesting a potential area for improvement. Despite some critiques regarding taste and vegetarian offerings, the overall consensus points to good quality food accompanied by friendly and helpful staff, enriching the dining experience at the Hotel S.Maria.

Despite an older design that lacks modern freshness, rooms maintain a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. They are consistently described as clean and tidily maintained, ensuring guests a comfortable stay.
Friendly and helpful staff receive high praise, contributing to an enjoyable and personable guest experience. For those choosing a quieter stay, lake-facing rooms are preferred, as they shelter guests from street noise. However, potential road noise can be a downside for rooms on the other side. Regarding space, some rooms and bathrooms are smaller than expected, yet remain functional and offer sufficient closet space for personal items. Renovation may be on the horizon, as many guests note outdated decor and furnishings, particularly in the bathrooms. Overall, while the rooms may need modernization, the hotel's exceptional location and warm hospitality make it a charming choice for travelers seeking lakeside tranquility.

Many guests have found the beds to be very comfortable, praising the firm mattresses and hard pillows. Some reviews highlight new mattresses and rooms featuring balconies, adding a touch of modernity to the accommodations. Additionally, the staff is noted for being friendly and maintaining daily bed-making service.
However, there is a noticeable discrepancy in guest experiences. While some find the mattresses to be the best part of their stay, others have experienced sagging or too-soft mattresses, leading to discomfort and inadequate rest. A few guests expressed dissatisfaction with old and small rooms that are in need of renovation, which affected their overall impression of the beds.
In summary, while Hotel S.Maria has several positives regarding its bedding, there remains room for improvement, particularly in terms of consistency and room modernization to enhance guest comfort.
