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 been made to feel more welcome by the friendly and professional team at Villa Castagnola. I highly recommend this Hotel!

Almost five stars
An absolutely amazing hotel in a spectacular location on Lago Lugano. Clean, comfortable and spacious rooms. Grand and elegant public spaces; a wonderful garden and exquisite artwork. Top notch staff. BUT despite the advertisement of air conditioning, there was none on these 80 degree plus early spring days. I booked a room with air conditioning and was charged for and paid for that room, but got no air conditioning, The suggested solution was to leave the door open at night to cool the room - on the ground floor of an unsecured hotel property. Not practical. The second solution was to bring us a fan, as if we were traveling in 1946. A small complaint but any issue which leaves guests uncomfortable in their own room over three days deserved at lease an acknowledgment from the Hotel management. There was nothing. What should have been a five star plus stay was not. Other than that, the hotel is perfect.

The hotel sits right across street from Lake Lugano, so our room has a commanding view of the lake and mountains beyond. The staff couldn’t be nicer, everyone was going out of their ways to help. The suite we got was amazing, valet parking was a breeze, and hotel restaurant was also impressive! All in all a fantastic property, and we loved our stay. Definitely will come back.
