“Moments from Lake Lugano, the hotel distinguishes itself with a private subtropical park and dedicated lido. I appreciate the blend of historical architecture and personalized service; the on-site art gallery and fine dining options are especially noteworthy. The fact that the price/value ratio is great compared to other options in Ticino makes it even more appealing.”
