Great hotel on the waters edge

Very nice hotel on the water. It is old but we enjoyed our stay very much. The area is very quiet and tranquil and the hotel gardens are beautiful and right on the water. Only negative was some of the furnishings are quite old.

The property was very well maintained and the view from our balcony was beautiful. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was very good. The only drawback was the parking situation (very limited and a tight squeeze for our vehicle).

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
1.Stunning Views – The scenery is undeniably spectacular. Whether from your room or the restaurant terrace, the views are postcard-perfect — definitely the highlight of the stay. 2. Restaurant Staff with a One-Way Attitude – Hospitality seems to be a foreign concept here. The restaurant staff behave as if they’re doing you a grand favor just by acknowledging your existence. Don’t bother asking for anything off-script — their service runs strictly on a one-way track: from them to you, on their terms, at their pace, and with minimal enthusiasm. Smiles? Not included. 3.No Room Amenities – The rooms are clean but stripped of comfort. No toiletries, no complimentary water, no kettle — just four walls and a bed. Think minimalist, but not in a trendy way.

A very noisy stay. Very difficult to sleep. No AC made the room almost unbearable. Dinner was good, the filet was pricey and very tough though. View was excellent. The lake was quite green with algae unfortunately in the swimming area. Overall a 2 out of 5 for the rating. The staff was kind.

Hotel with the most amazing view

The Lake view from our comfortable room was absolutely amazing. The Hotel had a calm ambience and staff were friendly. My husband enjoyed swimming in the lake but noted there was no life saving equipment around. Breakfast was ok but they ran out of things quickly. A suggestion would be to provide more basic information in the room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would come back.

We had an amazing stay right on the water . Rooms are basic but bathrooms renovated . The balcony with water views and the grotto dining area are an extra bonus . Quaint hotel wrapped in history with modernity blended in . Breakfast was good albeit limited . Coffee was 👍👍👍. Great bar and sitting area .

Romantisches Hotel mit Mankos

Das Hotel liegt idyllisch am Luganer See nahe der Schweizer Grenze. Die Terasse / Garten zwischen dem Hotel und dem See ist wunderschön angelegt und besticht durch seinen alten Baum- und Strauchbestand. Das Personal ist extrem freundlich und zuvorkommend. Wir haben in dem dazugehörigen Restaurant auch gespeist. Die Preise für das Zimmer und das Essen sind relativ hoch und damit steigen natürlich auch die Erwartungen. Mankos: Das Bad: □ hübsche Decke □ hübsche Fliesen □ originale Emaille-Badewanne mit rostigem Abfluss □ keine Dusche □ kein Spritzschutz an der Badewanne □ Waschbecken Abfluss sehr schlecht □ fehlende Ablageflächen. Tisch zum Abendessen: □ unser Buchungswunsch einen Tisch direkt am See wurde nicht berücksichtig □ mehrere Tische direkt am See waren reserviert und den ganzen Abend nicht besetzt Essen: □ einfallsreich □ gut □ Ausnahme: Das Hauptgericht “gegrillter Seewolf” für 29 € - hier war die Haut verbrannt Weine: □ Weißwein aus der Region. Nur Kassenschlager Luganer von Ca dei Frati Frühstück: □ sehr guter und frischer Obstsalat □ eine Sorte Käse □ eine Sorte Salami □ eine Sorte Kochschinken □ unterschiedliche Mittelklasse-Marmeladen □ kalte weichgekochte Eier Fazit: Das Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis für das Hotel und das Essen ist nicht in Ordnung.
