Catching up with my reviews over the last 1months so feel I have to start by saying we stayed at the hotel for two nights in June 2012 - saying that I imagine things remain the same. I've split my review into good and not so good points so here goes:- Good Points Room 242 is very basic but has... More

We stayed here in July 2012 for 4 nights. Overall we really enjoyed our stay, however there are a few aspects that others might want to consider before choosing this hotel. One of the most important things to us was a balcony with great lake views – that’s why we chose this hotel. We explained this in an email to... More

The room was lovely, with a great balcony on the lake. The restaurant had a reputation for good food, but was very expensive. The staff were polite, but did not make you feel welcomed, perhaps because we didn't speak Italian well. Parking was problematic as you had to walk along a busy road to reach the hotel. Be forewarned: there... More

Have just returned from holiday which included a few days in this hotel. We have visited Lugano and the other Italian lakes many times, but decided to try this one . Rooms are clean, spacious and dated, reminiscent of an English B & B. We booked a superior room with tiny balcony for 160 euros. Parking is a further 10... More

Tiles were loss at our teras, and the bathroom is also waiting for some painting. There were some little holes in the... More

We were shown a room next to someone's balcony. We asked for a room with a bit more privacy and were told, even though we had booked and paid in advance, that this was the room and if you don't like it you can leave. We have never experienced anything like this in our extensive travels. There is no car... More

We stayed here for one night during a bit of a rainy spell. We didn't have a chance to eat at the beautiful gardens or swim in the lake but you can tell how lovely that would be. The rooms are large with wonderful views of the lake and the common areas are very conformable. I have to say the... More

We planned to stay at this hotel for 2 days, but ended up staying 4. This place is truly paradise in every way. Our room overlooking Lake Lugano was lovely, the dock over the lake for hanging out and swimming was perfect, and the meals were terrific. This hotel has it all in a really classy and understated way. Can't... More
