The most exquisite hotel experience my husband and I have ever had. The staff went above and beyond, the grounds are impeccable, the lake views immaculate, and the amenities fantastic. We will definitely be back to beautiful Villa Castagnola.

What a gorgeous property! Received an upgrade to a corner suite which was not only large but had spectacular lake views. Felt like royalty. Dined at Le Relais where both the food and service were excellent. The hotel is adjacent to a funicular and an easy walk to town. The staff are wonderful. A truly fantastic stay. Highly recommended!

8/10 Very good

we had a wonderful stay here. The location is perfect, and we had a wonderful room with the most incredible view, no complaints at all. My only complaint was the food at the breakfast buffet, it was really nothing special, locked, originality, and somewhere homemade options.

Perfect hotel in Lugano

Excellent hotel, old classic style, very comfortable and spacious room, good quality beds and beddings. We stayed in the double room with balcony, room looks like a junior suite, had 2 bathrooms. Hotel has a wonderful garden, perfect location , on the lake and not very far from center.

Noisy Room location

While the location and the service/staff are amazing, they gave us a room on first floor over the restaurant where the piano/mouse was annoying and the pets friendliness was also loud due to a dog constantly barking.
