Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Easily one of the best properties we have ever stayed at! A gorgeous example of adaptive reuse, with original 16th century convent ceilings and floors and beautiful award-winning decor throughout. The hotel is in a quaint hilltop village with private access to a castle and a winery a short hike away. The onsite restaurant is superb, with excellent food and staff. The front desk staff are also very kind and welcoming. Very comfortable bed and room with a very effective AC. You cannot go wrong here, we just loved it!

We loved staying in this hotel with its unique history and beautiful decor. It is a special place in a wonderful location and we had fabulous views from our balcony. The walk to Morcote took under 30 minutes with lovely views but you need to wear trainers as the path is uneven. We also enjoyed walking to the castle through the vineyards and exploring lake Lugano by bus and boat. We tended to get Uber taxi’s back up to to hotel as it was a steep climb ( cost 18CHF)

Romantisches Paar-Wochenende

Das Hotel ist in einem alten umgebauten Kloster. Es hat nur 12 Zimmer, und das Ambiente ist dadurch sehr exklusiv. Ich denke, das erklärt auch den etwas höheren Preis. Die Renovierung wurde mit sehr viel Liebe zum Detail ausgeführt. Wir waren in den Hauseigenen Weinbergen spazieren und haben von dort aus den Sonnenuntergang angesehen. Das war unser persönliches Highlight! Diesmal haben wir nur eine Nacht im Relais übernachtet, und daher kaum etwas der zahlreichen Angebote (Wine Tastings, etc.) genutzt. Das nächste Mal wollen wir aber länger kommen und vieles davon ausprobieren. Der hauseigene Wein hat uns hervorragend geschmeckt.

Sehr schönes Boutique Hotel

Sehr schön eingerichtetes Boutique-Hotel mit stilvollen Aufenthaltszonen. Es gibt eine Selfservice Bar, wo man den eigenen Wein trinken kann. Zimmer sind sehr sauber, nicht sehr gross, aber genügt für eine Kurzaufenthalt. Es war etwas kühl, dies ist jedoch vermutlich aufgrund der Wetterumstellung und Beginn der Heizperiode geschuldet. Aktuell befindet sich das Haus nebenan im Umbau, was mich allerdings nicht gestört hat, da die Arbeiten erst nach 8.00 Uhr losgingen. Overall, definitiv empfehlenswert.

Super beeindruckendes Hotel. Wenn man jedoch nicht so wanderlustig ist könnte es etwas “langweilig” werden. Es bietet die Möglichkeit für tolle Spaziergänge, auch zum eigenen Weingut des Hotels. Allerdings gibt es nicht viele andere Aktivitätsmoeglichkeiten. Das essen im eigenen Restaurant ist hervorragend, mit kleiner Karte! Allerdings gibt es in fuss läufiger Umgebung keine Alternativen was einem bewusst seien sollte. Für 2 Nächte auf jedenfall eine Reise wert!
