My husband and I stayed a weekend at this hotel wonderfully located above the Lake Lugano in a historical mansion with astounding views on the lake and the surrounding mountains. You have to be aware that the hotel is not in the centre of Lugano but maybe five minutes by car away or 30 minutes by foot (downhill, uphill more).... More

Myself and my pregnant wife and 3year old son stayed in July last year, I was looking forward to my stay. The part of the hotel we stayed in was dark and the corridors were dark and felt like we were in a battle ship. Our room was a major disappointment it was lovely and big, but we were paying... More

We have stayed for 2 nights at Principe Leopoldo for the second time. The first time was in summer some years ago. All in all, the hotel and the location is quite nice, however ca. 10 min drive from Lugano centre, but the hotel offers shuttle service in case you have no car with you. The hotel - although partly... More

The villa itself is beautiful and the room - we had a junior suite in the villa itself which was absolutely gorgeous with a good lake view. In terms of atmosphere the villa really delivered. The room was absolutely beautiful with good standard of furnishings. We felt the staff didn't make any special effort to accommodate your needs unless you... More

Wonderful location! Also very close to Italy. Great restaurant with amazing view on the lake and the food is excellent, they are very nice to children. Good service overall, people are very nice. Rooms are big and the 2 pools are great. No view in Residence, so you need to go to the Villa restaurant to enjoy the beautiful view. More

The "Residence" was such a disappointment after seeing pictures and checking in at the beautiful" Villa". Had 2 rooms: one Jr. Suite (Room 222) was large enough, but very poorly and confusingly furnished, really very ugly. The living room and bedroom had very high ceilings with plain white walls, no art to speak of, damask-covered furniture completely lacking in style... More
