It all began in the 1930s with Grandmother Emma and her cookery courses, and with Grandmother Teresa and the two hotels she ran.

Their love for hospitality has endured for almost one hundred years. The passion and respect for the raw materials, scents and tastes, the consistencies and colours, have all been passed at mother’s knee.

The “grandparents”, Hilda and Paoli, are the pillars of the hotel, which was built up from scratch in the 1960s. They have handed on their business to their first-born son Stefan who, along with his wife Wilma and their son Jan Clemens, continue the family tradition.

Jan Clemens now represents the fourth generation to continue with this love for hospitality.
