We didn’t stay in this property very long And we’re disappointed that we couldn’t get in for massages. That was one of the main reasons we booked this hotel but the spa services weren’t available. The room was nice. The view was beautiful. The food was good. OK

Very nice property with beautiful view of Lake Lugano. Staff was very helpful and went the extra mile when a request was made and were proactive in other ways. They left me a bottle of wine cuz they knew it was my birthday weekend. A bit further from the town (10-15 min walk) than I personally would have liked but because we were higher up we had an amazing view.

Shame, needs work
Lovely original building and grounds. In room. Aircon had leaked, Blind in bedroom did not operate so no access to the balcony, could not connect to the wifi and neither could the hotel expert, plus smallest tv I've seen, last time in 3 star hotel. Tired facilities in the bathroom. No outlet cover in shower, shower base missing non-slip strip. No hand soap. Bit of a maze to the room, lack of signage. O/W nice hotel with views over Lugano - due to above overpriced.

I loved the views and that we had access to amazing grocery store (similar to Whole Foods) with a 15 minute walk (it’s moderate intensity to walk as some of it is uphill.) loved the huge rooms , even with the kitchen and all the amenities of an apartment and of course the balcony!

Excellent fitness centre and buffet breakfast. Major renovations were taking place which were not advertised on Expedia, therefore, no outdoor pool or solarium access. The room was uncomfortably hot at night and the portable air conditioning unit dated and ineffective. Fans didn’t help which meant for sleepless nights - in May.
