"This hotel is right on Lake Como with a pool on the lake! The views of Mountains & ferries traveling in the central lake area is stunning. The hotel provides an excellent variety of cold breakfast choices the front desk was very helpful. The attached restaurant is a separate business which had a delicious looking menu but there were many other choices in the beautiful plaza in town which seemed less expensive. This hotel is a great memory!!"

10/10 Excellent
"I truly enjoyed my stay here! While at first I was a bit concerned it was on the "other" side of the station away from the town of Lugano the property had many redeeming features, like beautiful grounds and a lovely breakfast, that made it worth it. Yes there is some noise from the trains and you have to walk across the train parking lot to get there but it felt like a little oasis above Lugano and was a really pleasant stay. The pool, the bar, the restaurant were all nice and the room was very clear and cool (with AC) that was welcome for a hot September stay. Getting to and from the main part of Lugano by furnicular was a breeze. I'm glad I chose to stay here!"
