Loved this place, a last minute stopover that felt so welcoming. Extremely comfortable beds, spotlessly clean and a magnificent breakfast complete with homemade jams! Id definitely go back.

“Charming stay in Lugano”
Lovely little hotel with beautiful garden and excellent pool (mountain view!) close enough to Lugano centre and lake with all its activities. Very welcoming host, who also runs a good restaurant on the property. Compared to other accommodations in Lugano reasonably priced. Free parking on site. Also, we were given a Ticino-ticket by the host which gives you free public transport and a discount on the funiculaire. We had a great 3 night stay and would stay here again when in the area!

“A cozy hotel with a beautiful set pool, good for those travelling by car or not afraid of walking”
The hotel was very nice and cosy with a well-sized pool set in a beautiful garden and against an amazing backdrop. The hotel staff was very friendly and smiley and eager to help out.

The traditional way of check in and services. The owner was very nice. Helped me get a free ticket of Ticino canton. The villa and garden is amazing, with very rich variety of fruits.

The location was great - one can easily walk to the Lugano city center and the lake (5 to 10min comfortable walking), there is a bus stop directly in front of the hotel. The line takes you to the central station or the railway station or the lake in no time - public transportation is for free for tourists (in hotels). The most amazing was the restaurant - my husband and I have been travelling many times to Ticcino and Lugano and we are familiar with the cuisine and food. The small restaurant had by far the best food (and affordable by Swiss standards) we have ever had in Lugano. Genuine Ticcino food. All is absolutely fresh and much of the salads and fruits stem from their own garden. The staff (and the owner) are fullblood hospitality people who have been most kind and helpful. The hotel is simple, but rooms are modern and newly rennovated (with good taste). There is a wonderful garden and a swimming pool of about 15metres - very nice place to spend some calm time.
