Our stay at the hotel was a lovely experience overall, with stunning views over Lake Lugano and spacious accommodations that made our family feel right at home. The complimentary breakfast was top-notch, setting us up perfectly for our days out exploring. While the dinner at the restaurant was quite tasty, we encountered a few hiccups with pool reservations that seemed unnecessary. Still, the friendly service and beautiful surroundings made it a delightful getaway.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the location was great and the family-friendly atmosphere was a plus, I was disappointed with the room's air conditioning and the unexpected charges for kitchen use. The shuttle service to the train station was handy, but the overall value doesn't quite match the price.

The hotel offers stunning views of Lake Lugano and the surrounding mountains, making for a picturesque stay. The rooms are spacious with large balconies, although they do carry a dated charm that might not appeal to everyone. Dining experiences at the hotel restaurant were generally positive with delightful meals, but breakfast options could use some improvement. Overall, the unique layout of the hotel and its facilities, including a pool, makes it a pleasant retreat, but guests should be cautious about certain safety aspects.
