One of the best 3* properties I have ever stayed in, should really be a 4* but I guess they don't staff the bar. It has a pool and terrace overlooking Lake Lugano, it has a great little honesty bar, where you can relax. I left at 5 am so did not try the breakfast. The room was very comfortable, I had a solo room as it was just me and would definitely stay here again. The staff were so friendly and helpful in every way, especially in making a reservation for a great little local spot. Marvellous.

It was very well located and had a very nice terrace to relax at after a busy day. The room was very comfortable and the breakfast was outstanding. We would return.
