We cannot say enough about how wonderful this place is. The decor and detail are next to none, the staff kind and knowledgeable, and the breakfast was very high quality. We visited Como and would only stay on lake Lugano from here on out. Morcote has a ton of charm and great restaurants, and getting around with public transportation was easy. Highly recommend!!

I was initially drawn to your hotel because of its impressive location and breathtaking room views. However, what truly made my stay unforgettable was your exceptional staff. They say that a hotel is only as good as its staff, and I couldn't agree more. Your staff captured the heart and soul of Switzerland, and it was evident in every little detail. From the moment I stepped into your hotel, I was greeted with warm and genuine smiles. The staff went above and beyond to make sure that my stay was comfortable and enjoyable. They were always available to assist me with anything I needed, and they did so with such grace and hospitality. It was clear that they genuinely cared about their guests and took pride in their work. What made your staff truly unique was their ability to make me feel like family. I have been living in Switzerland for quite some time now, and I have come to know the warm and welcoming nature of the Swiss people. However, your staff took it to another level. They made my stay feel like I was visiting family, and I cannot thank them enough for that. I must mention that I was going through a tough time during my stay. It was my birthday, and I was feeling sad and lonely after a recent breakup. However, your staff's kindness and warmth made me forget all my troubles. Even the friendly band that played every night was so welcoming, and it truly touched my heart. I would like to extend my sincere thanks and congratulations to the management for having such an exceptional team. Your staff truly made my stay unforgettable, and I will always cherish the memories I made during my time at your hotel. Once again, thank you for the exceptional service and warm hospitality. I look forward to visiting your hotel again in the future and experiencing the heart of Switzerland through your amazing staff.

The welcome from staff was personal and warm, particularly our waiter at dinner and breakfast. The palms, grotto, vineyard and mini museum of agricultural equipment were extraordinary. Tomtom sent us the wrong way but it was so worthwhile working out how to get there. A historic hotel, great views over the lake with sparkling lights at night and light morning mist. Lovely balcony. Would be perfect for travelling by train.

Selection always depends on what you like to eat and culture. not everything can be offered. for me as long as bacon and eggs are welll made, coffe was aswell good and different breads were available. And some sweets options to add.

What a truly special place. They have thought of every detail! Beds very comfortable and rooms really clean, and the spot is magical. Love all the common areas outside the rooms and so nice how they have laid out books and games and all. Breakfast was delicious - esp the homemade jams and homemade granola. Location is brilliant for hiking. Wish we lived closer so we could go more often.

Beautifully located in a small village of Malcantone, not far from Ponte Tresa. The view towards Italy is like a view from a jungle lodge. Part of the complex is designed as a Roman villa. The bungalows are in Spanish style. From simply furnished to very good. The food is very tasty. A short hour walk away is the only gold mine in Switzerland, which you can visit. Pure relaxation.

We have been staying at this hotel numerous times before. The hotel this time was quite full, so the manager, who recognised us again, upgraded us to a Junior Suite, with exceptional view over the lake. The dinner and service in the restaurant were excellent. We enjoyed so much, that we decided to stay one more night and are looking forward to our visit again beginning of 2026.

Lugano is wonderful and a total paradise for cyclists!

Lugano is wonderful and a total paradise for cyclists! I come here all the time, I could not recommend more. Amazing routes around Lago di Lugano, Maggiore, Como… Delicious bakeries for tasty treats and refuelling whether Alpe di Neggia and Luino side or Menaggio Como side! Superb hotels and restaurants in Lugano to enjoy post-ride, also lovely chic (not sports) shopping! Absolutely recommend, but definitely prioritise Lugano Centro and lakeside, more expensive but so so worth it (Paradiso or inland horrible)

Correct the hotel location in booking to not show that it is 150 from the center while searching in Lugano area. The hotel location is at the top of the mountain, it tooks more the 25 minutes to reach the hotel up or to go down to the city… nothin around the hotel, no centro, no restaurant… the hotel is in the middle of nowhere

Small quiet village but with everything you need.

Small quiet village but with everything you need. Everywhere is clean, enough bars and restaurants. The lido was fantastic for swimming and sunbathing. Views were amazing. 15 minute drive across to Lugano was easy annd worth an trip. Easy to drive to lake coma and other surrounding areas. There is a lot of steps and steep cobbles in the village if anyone struggles with mobility or has a pushchair it might be difficult. Mosquitoes were quite annoying (august time) so bring spray if you’re a target for them.

You must take a swim in the lake.

You must take a swim in the lake. Near the parking garage is a swimming platform. The lake is perfect. Don't test the water first, Don't dip a toe. Take a few steps back, run, jump high, Dive in a resurface a human reborn. Months latter I still think about that dive in the water in the most beautiful lake I have ever seen. The town is expensive. But If your traveling through. Stop my kid love car spotting from the cafes.

The facility is completely unknown ... even the hotel across the street could barely help me figure out where to go and what to do in terms of check-in. I would suggest you give the directions to people well in advance and explain how the very impersonal check-in works. The message I received in my phone was unworkable without wi-fi and still very unclear with wi-fi. I wasted over 90 minutes from arrival by van in Bissone to arrival in our room ... driving around aimlessly, looking for a sign of the property, asking many people who knew nothing, etc. Once everything was clear and we wee settled, dinner took a long walk to get to, but that was worth it. I suggest having a fan avaible for ventilation, as the one window does not allow the flat to breathe.

Not a massive amount to do in Melide itself, but there a few nice little restaurants and a Miniature Model Village for the kiddies. A short bus ride/ train ride from Laguna and accommodation seemed much cheaper. We ate in the hotel restaurant, which was borderline fine dining, so food was amazing but a little expensive; presecco, a bottle of medium priced wine and two medium priced secondi meals cane to about €170 plus tip. We were lucky enough to get a free upgrade, staying in a wonderful apartment with Hammam and kitchenette; always nice to get an upgrade, so many thanks again 😁

Lugano is a nice little town with all facilities and transportation points near at hand. Monte Bre and Monte San Salvatore are excellent points to visit with breathtaking panoramic views. We also did a day trip to Morcote which was also very nice specially Scherrer's Park. Back in Lugano, Parco Ciani and Piazza Riforma are excellent places to hang around and have meals. We had some excellent Ticinese food at La Tinera which is not to be missed if one wants to sample the regional cuisine.

Cademario is half hour from Lugano and its lake.

Cademario is half hour from Lugano and its lake. The last part of drive to the hotel may be intense, in particular if driving a manual transmission car, due to the windings and tight turns of a road going 500 meters up in about 15 minutes. Lugano and nearby villages are worth visiting - for example, Gandria, a small village on the lakeside, 15 minutes from Lugano, almost invisible from the main road due to its location on an abrupt lakeshore. Also, Locarno, Ascona, and Valle Verzasca are worth spending an hour driving north. In particular, Ascona is a great place for dinner, where you can choose from a dozen restaurants along a wide pedestrian street on the side of the lake. Valle Verzasca offers parking areas almost each kilometer due to its beautiful views - in particular Ponte dei Salti (pedestrian medieval bridge) and Cascata La Froda (narrow but spectacular waterfall). Small stores along the road offer 10 Swiss Francs parking passes for most of the parking spots (marked "green parking") all the way to the end of the road in Sonogno.
