Though some of the posh hotels charge prices worthy of London and Paris and other specialise on ripping off tourists, some real bargains are to be had, especially in June or September. A room in a romantic lake villa can be booked for €60 a night full board, most offering surprisingly high standard of cuisine and service. Just a 10-20 minute walk away from the shore prices drop steeply. A private room can be rented for as little as €10 per person here.
