The view from this hotel was amazing. The breakfast was excellent. However the room needs significant improvement. We had the premium suite lake view and it was missing furniture and mold was growing on the balcony. The kitchen was a nice touch but it was totally empty. No dishes or cutlery Thankfully, we didn’t spend much time in the room.

Our stay at Villa Sassa was good. The room was large, but seemed empty. Full kitchen but nothing to cook with or eat on. Friendliness of staff was hit and miss - the front desk Staff was great. Found it very odd that they shut down the pool to guests for “aqua fit” classes for two people - spa staff chased us down to let us know we couldn’t use the pool until those people were done their work out. Hot tub was more of a warm tub - needed to be much hotter. Sauna facilities were great.

The hotel is a bit dated, 1980s architecture. The rooms are a nice size though and the bathrooms modernized. The pool is very nice. The restaurants and especially the service were awful. Overpriced, poor food and arrogant waiters really put a damper on our stay.

Peaceful Getaway with Stunning Views and Relaxatio

We had a wonderful experience – this hotel offers a luxurious and relaxing stay with excellent spa facilities, a beautiful outdoor pool overlooking the lake, a great jacuzzi, and a spacious gym. The hotel was not crowded, which added to the peaceful atmosphere. It truly has everything you need for a quiet, rejuvenating vacation. The only downsides were the food, which was just average for a 4-star hotel, and the overpriced bistro – better to dine in town. Still, breakfast was good, and overall, this place has the potential to become our regular summer getaway.

We booked a stay at the Villa Sasa due to the reviews, description, and pictures we saw on Expedia. The drive to the resort was very urban and not at all what we expected. It is not close to any main street that you can walk by the lake, was difficult to find, and honestly just not what we expected after seeing pictures and reviews online. The receptionist, and those working at the front desk were very nice, but failed to explain any options as far as closest place to possibly swim in the lake, which main streets in the center of town or nearby or worth going to to walk around for reviews and good dinner, you really were left to google and find this information on your own. They do give you an electronic voucher for free public bus transportation, but no real direction of which stops are beneficial to go to which stops are good for walking around to shop or to grab dinner. Once you were at the resort, you were pretty much secluded to only the grounds of the resort as walking around there, and the nearby streets did not have anything.

Disliked: Staff & service

The view from Villa Sassa is stunning, and the property itself has great potential, but my stay was unfortunately disappointing. My pre-booked shuttle arrived nearly an hour late with no update or communication from staff. I completely understand that road closures can cause delays, but a simple message would have allowed me to make other arrangements and avoid unnecessary stress in a new city. When I arrived, my early check-in request wasn’t accommodated, which I can accept, but the way it was handled was very dismissive. When I tried to express my concerns to the front desk, the staff member simply said “thank you, have a good day” and hung up. I later provided written feedback to management but received no further response, which felt unprofessional and dismissive. It also took over 40 minutes for my luggage to be delivered to my room, adding to an already frustrating experience. As a VIP guest, I expected better communication, service, and attention to detail. While the hotel itself is peaceful and offers incredible views, it’s not as convenient as it seems. The property is uphill, and there aren’t any nearby restaurants or shops you’ll need to take a bus, taxi, or Uber to reach the main area. Overall, the setting is lovely, but the lack of communication, poor responsiveness, and dismissive service left a very negative impression. With better training and guest care, Villa Sassa could truly live up to its potential.
