Not recomend this place

The location is good with views of the lake and the forest above the building. We were in a studio for two and after 50 days of traveling all over Europe, I can say that this was the dirtiest and most uncomfortable room. The sofa was covered in large stains, as was the bedspread. We slept with our clothes on without using anything, there was not even soap. The price we paid was 124 euros plus a 15 euro dog fee for this dirty room. We don't mind basic furnishings, but hygiene is important. I am surprised by the positive ratings for this property and I do not recommend it.

Perfect place to stay on lake Lugano

Beautiful location just over the road from the beach and walking distance to the centre. The hosts were wonderful, lovely friendly people (and their dogs too!). The room was spacious, well equipped and very clean and with a beautiful view out over the lake.

Gorgeous gardens and pool

This has the best bits of a hotel and an airbnb. Lovely gardens with shade, sun loungers and lovely wrought iron tables with white linen. Very beautiful. Bar available for drinks. Pool with great views. I’d guess about six suites sharing the facilities. The house is a peaceful retreat a little way from town. We walked but it’s quite a long walk so ideally you’d have a car / e bikes to get to the lake / town for restaurants. Ample parking available. Our flat had a lovely terrace overlooking the lake.
