I recently stayed at this hotel overlooking Lake Lugano, and I have to say—the view is absolutely breathtaking. Waking up each morning to the shimmering lake and surrounding mountains was truly unforgettable. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, always ready to help with a smile. The breakfast was also quite good, with a nice variety of options to start the day right. One thing to keep in mind: the hotel is located at the top of a mountain, which makes for the amazing views, but also means you’ll need to navigate a steep drive to get there. Avoid taking Valmara Road if possible—it's very steep, narrow, and quite challenging to drive, especially if you're not used to mountain roads. Overall, a fantastic stay with scenery and service that make the climb worth it—just plan your route carefully!

Charming hotel which has it's quirks but that's all part of the experience with fantastic staff who made us feel very welcome and satisfied. The view was fabulous and the food was terrific and the staff were brilliant. The road up to the hotel is not for the faint hearted (Strada da Valmara) so take their advice on how to reach the property if you are not very confident with mountain roads.

The USP of this property is the amazing view down to Lago di Lugano across into Switzerland. There is also the interesting story about the old funicular railway to the rear of the hotel which closed in 1977 but may be refurbished and reinstated if funds can be secured. It is a rural location, about 20 mins walk from the nearby town of Lanzo d'Intelvi and the bus service from Como drops you about 400m from the hotel reception if you aren't driving. Rooms were not air conditioned but you do get a oscillating fan! Get a room with a view and you won't be disappointed

A Wonderful Stay on Elba Island We had a truly lovely stay on Elba Island. The accommodation was perfectly located—everything was within walking distance, including a stunning beach in the lower part of the area, where we spent many relaxing hours. The atmosphere overall was incredibly pleasant and welcoming. We also really enjoyed the breakfast—it was delicious and served with a warm smile. There were some great little restaurants just around the corner, making evenings easy and enjoyable. All in all, a fantastic experience. We would definitely come back!

Mycket trevligt, rent och vackert hotell med mycket trevlig och välkomnande personal. Mycket rena rum med mycket bekväma sängar. Utsikten över Luganosjön från hotellets teras, restaurang och hotellrummen är magnifik. Restaurang och restaurangens personal överträffade alla våra förväntningar. Likaså frukosten.

Personalen var mycket trevlig och hjälpsam! Hotellet är nyrenoverat men till en något billigare standard, dock så är engagemanget från personalen det som lyfter upp vistelsen. Absolut värt att besöka
