GOOD PEOPLE GOOD PEOPLE

Hotel Walther has them. The most valuable asset of a hotel is its staff. The team makes all the difference in making you feel at home and enjoying your holiday. We are very grateful to have these “good souls”. Some of them have been working at Hotel Walther for decades or are still working here even after retirement. We would like to introduce you to four of them, all of whom have worked here for at least 25 years. Thank you very much!

When Sabina Cabello came to the Hotel Walther 25 years ago, she didn’t even unpack her suitcase for a week. “I thought I wouldn’t be here for long, but now I’m still here.” In that time, Sabina, who is responsible for the coffee kitchen, has seen many people come and go. It is nice to see familiar faces again each season.

When asked why he has remained loyal to the same hotel all these years, Jaime De Oliveira Goncalinho answers from the heart: “A great team and a good relationship with the Walther family.” He jokes: “When I arrived here from Portugal 29 years ago, I had long hair. Now I have none.” He remembers the story of the married couple who arrived in two cars. During their stay, the wife had a minor accident, and the couple left together, forgetting about the second car left in the garage. In the end, Jaime had to drive to Bregenz to return the forgotten car to the guest.

Antonella Parolaro works as a housekeeper in the laundry department. The Italian has also remained loyal to the hotel for over 25 years. “When you work in the same place for years, you develop a mutual trust with your employer and everything becomes easier. Even the little problems can be solved much better.” After all these years, Antonella especially remembers the flight in the Junkers that Mr Walther gave her as a present, and the great sympathy she received from the hotelier's family at a difficult moment in her life.

Fernando Marques Lopes is a janitor who has worked at the Hotel Walther for 28 years – more than half his life. He appreciates the family atmosphere, the good relationship with the owner’s family and the hotel staff, and working with his closest colleague Silvio. He remembers the many periods of renovation and how the hotel has developed during his time there.
