The host was available for us to help solve some of our travel interruptions and difficulties. He was so understanding and helpful. He really put us at ease and was so considerate to our travel issues. When the European converters we brought didn't fit, he even loaned us some that fit! He even texted in at the end of our stay to make sure all was going well. We definitely would love to come back again. The garden and lake view was so peaceful and relaxing after a difficult train travel journery.

Absolutely beautiful! Indeed a bijoux! Loved the location in a very quiet and peaceful place. We didn't know before we booked but it is right at the beginning of the famous walk path between Castagnola and Gandria, which takes about 45 minutes one way. The host, Bernhard, was very pleasant, give us all the information we needed and responded to our questions almost immediately. Thank you 🥰

    Quiet location above Lugano, large rooms with proper AC. Staff pleasant and helpful. Large outside pool was appreciated by all. Breakfast buffet was reasonable, but low fat/low sugar options were few. Restaurant in the evening offers buffet or pizza. Neither were great, but the local restaurant about 9 min walk away called Balmelli was superb (fab food prepared by 2 Italian Chefs, lovely service and reasonably priced within Switzerland for the standards).
