I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel! The spacious corner room was not only clean but also provided a comfy bed and a great shower. The breakfast was fantastic with a variety of choices. However, the lack of some toiletries like hair conditioner was a bit of a letdown. The hotel's location is perfect, just a short walk to the town center, and complimentary parking was a nice bonus.

My stay at the hotel was overall delightful, with friendly staff, a clean and well-maintained property, and a beautiful outdoor space to relax in.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel, with a beautiful property that includes a vineyard and on-site winemaking. The location is convenient for exploring the area, though the train noise can occasionally interrupt the peace. The breakfast options were extensive and delicious, adding to the overall value of our experience. However, while the room upgrade we received was lovely, the initial room we booked had a rather small bathroom that felt cramped.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, appreciated the beautiful outdoor spaces and the stunning views. The location was perfect for accessing the train station and exploring Lugano. However, there were some issues with the room allocation and the reception staff's service could be improved. The breakfast options were great but could cater better for vegetarians.
