If you want to combine the italo-swiss charm and quality of services with a tremendous lake view in the immediate surroundings of Lugano, then you must try this well-known Villa Hotel. The private gardens with swimming pool are a must if you want to rest out of the noisy town.

This is one of the finest hotels that we have ever stayed at. The setting was beautiful, and the service was amazing. We stayed two extra days just because it was such a relaxing place to be. Our suite was spacious and lovely. There is also a highly rated restaurant on site. We had a fabulous five course meal. We... More

Beautiful hotel south of the centre of Lugano (15 minute walk, or 20 minutes when you go through the park - nice views when you do). It's also very easy to take the bus into town. The trainstation for going up the Monte Bre is right behind the hotel. Splendid service. Very nice staff. You can stay at the hotel... More

Such a shame that this was a business trip, but spending all day in a beautiful conference room with three windows opening onto balconies overlooking the gardens was such a delight compared to normal business facilities. The hotel is immaculate and the staff unfailingly polite and helpful - despite all the unreasonable, urgent demands a working group can come up... More

We have stayed many times at this wonderful hotel which has recently undergone a major renovation. It is ideally situated in the Castognola area in its own extensive gardens, near the lakeside, with Lugano centre, accessible on foot if feeling energetic, or even by frequent bus service. The guest accommodation is stylish and most rooms have a balcony and lake... More
