Impressive
This was my first stay since having inly stayed at Villa Castagnola a few times when in Lugano. The rooms are fantastic, view amazing, great room service (had breakfast twice), and the Michelin 1 star was a considerable gastronomic experience.

Easily one of the most incredible hotel experiences I’ve ever had! Expensive, yes, worth it, absolutely! We arrived from Milan a lot earlier than the check in window, and they offered to hold our bags, gave us an tour of all of the amenities the hotel had to offer, and give us a complimentary car to drive ourselves to the city center while we waited for our room. After driving back from the city center and turning the car back in, we were showed our room and left with chocolates and wine while they brought up our bags. The in-hotel restaurant was open for lunch so we grabbed a bite to eat while we enjoyed the incredible view of Lugano lake. I can go on and on about this hotel but, if you have the money please make an effort to stay here and experience luxury in the way it’s meant to be enjoyed.

Great location and service. Food and spa are also very good. The rooms are brand new and modern, but perhaps too modern. The shower stall doors kept coming off the rails, and everything in the room is controlled by a tablet that kept losing connection.

Everyone was great.
We could't ask for better.
We travelled for over 50 years to the finest places and this is up there with best.
we have never had a hotel that had a vehicle to use to go somewhere for free.
Expensive but worth every penny.

Property is excellent, high quality, and good value for money. The views are spectacular and I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel. It is 5-10 min drive outside the main area of the city, and not entirely walkable from up the hill, so they have smart cars available to guests for free to make up for it. We got an early check-in, breakfast included everyday. Give this one a try!

Really great service and friendly service ambassadors. Can use their electric cars and bikes for free; spa has salt room and sauna; awesome view at night from the bed (first time for us).
Spa is OK. Sometimes some staff are not as enthusiastic (maybe language issue).
