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.

Amazing stay at fantastic location

Amazing stay with friendly staff and great location! We stayed at Villa Sassa for one night and found the location superb. It is a bit outside of the Lugano city center and is this quieter, but still very easy to go downtown. The room was very clean, the staff was helpful, the pool with view on the lake is incredible. For breakfast there were a lot of choices, all rather good. I definitely recommend this place!

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.
