The reception in a hotel is the first ‘business card’ and the main point of reference for guests: it is precisely upon arrival that people want to feel welcomed, assisted and helped during their stay in order to enjoy their holiday. The receptionist, therefore, is a key professional figure who welcomes customers and provides them with all the necessary information about the hotel. This is why it is so important to know to perfection the roles, responsibilities and services within the hotel.
At the Boffenigo our reception team is very close-knit and everyone cooperates to give every guest a super welcome. This is a key member of our reception: Chiara, in the B-Family since 2003 and here is her interview!
