My stay at the Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola Lugano was one of the best Hotel experiences I have ever had.
My room was exquisite especially my gorgeous balcony with fabulous views of Lake Lugano.
The surrounding gardens were so manicured and breathtaking!
I stayed at Castagnola for 5 nights and my daily breakfast was a treat to look forward to.
I also found the convenience of the Hotel to the city centre a bonus as I could easily walk this each day.
Being a woman travelling solo I could not have...

We would definitely back to stay here. The breakfast was the best hotel breakfast we had on our trip and the staff were very helpful. The property is well maintained and rooms were big enough for a family. The location is well connected

This historic villa in a stunningly beautiful location right on Lake Como, is a unique and memorable place to stay. Our room had a wonderful view and while smaller than I had expected, it was well appointed. Situated within easy walking distance of the small town of Varenna, this property has a beautiful garden and outdoor areas from which to enjoy the mesmerizing view. Attentive, professional and helpful staff will ensure you have a wonderful experience. I was sorry to leave.

Wonderful hotel with the best view. The lovely owners make their own olive oil and produce from their orchard. Rooms are large and town is a 10 minute walk. You are nestled in a peaceful oasis with the best views. The self service wine is delicious (you get a card that charges you) and sitting on the verandah area is perfection. I don’t ever remember a better value place to stay.

Our stay at Vista - Palazzo has been the highlight of our family's 5 week holiday in Europe. The rooms are fabulous and the service is outstanding. The roof-top bar has a spectacular view of the lake and is a lovely spot to spend the afternoon. My children loved the welcome gift and did not want to check out. Room service was also very good. Overall, we would highly recommend the hotel and a visit to Como, with its many activities, central proximity, and restaurant options.

Arriving in Tremezzina was like landing in Paradise and Hotel La Darsena was just the icing on the cake. I booked not having any real idea where to stay in Como and we could not have been happier. This adorable little boutique hotel has the most magnificent view from it's restaurant terrace and this was the main reason I booked. We had a loft room which was adorable and looked out over the lake. The location is perfect, Bellagio is literally a stones throw across the water and the ferry terminal...

From the moment we checked in Christina was absolutely delightful.
She made our stay perfect.
Her willingness to please was so appreciated and very professional.
The location was also perfect. Right across from the ferry and a very short walk to the train station.

The location of the hotel was good. Easy to get to Lugano Centre by Line 2 Bus. The bus was SO reliable & came every 20 minutes. The room had a great view of the lake but was not well equipped re power points. The bathroom was excellent. I thought for an expensive hotel it was a bit much to charge you if you wanted a cooked omelette or eggs fried or poached. Most hotels offer this. The evening meal was excellent.

While Lake Como is not traditionally known for its beaches, it offers a variety of lakeside spots that provide a unique blend of relaxation and adventure. For families, the charming town of Bellagio features several small pebbly beaches where children can splash in the shallow waters, making it a perfect spot for a family day out. The Lido di Lenno is another delightful option with its sandy beach area, complete with sun loungers and a bar, allowing parents to unwind while the kids play. For the adventurous, kayaking on the lake is an exhilarating way to explore its stunning shores, and paddleboarding offers a fun way to take in the breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains. If you're looking for a picturesque spot to stay, consider hotels nestled in Varenna, where you can enjoy access to the lovely beach at Fiumelatte and quaint waterfront promenades. Staying in this area allows for a perfect blend of relaxation and exploration, with stunning views right from your hotel room and easy access to local restaurants serving fresh Italian cuisine.
