Property location is beautiful. It’s nearby the lake Lugano which makes it perfect for walking distance, takes around 6 mins walk. The hotel itself was good for a 3 star hotel. Staff is friendly and breakfast was ok. Would recommend to have better breakfast outside rather than the free buffet. The hotel has a bit of an eerie/haunting atmosphere, with a vintage vibe that feels like it’s straight out of the 90s but overall experience was good.

Comfortable hotel away from the crowds

Quiet hotel in a cute village on Lake Lugano. Short walk to the lakefront, boardwalk and shops. Hotel has enough to be comfortable, with a breakfast offered, but is not fancy.

Die Lage des Hotels ist toll und es ist sehr angenehm, dass man dort kostenlos und unkompliziert parken kann. Auch der Aufenthalt mit Hund ist problemlos. Leider sind die Zimmer sehr in die Jahre gekommen und sehr hellhörig. Es riecht ziemlich muffig und die Klimaanlage taugt nicht wirklich was. Für einen kurzen Aufenthalt total okay.
