We stayed two nights in June. The owners could not have been more accommodating. Continental breakfast was included and both lunch and dinner were available in their restaurant. The views from our room, the pools deck and the restaurant were stunning. Bus transportation into Lugano runs hourly. A truly enjoyable stay!

Wunderbare Aussicht!

Die Anfahrt ist etwas mühsam, aber dafür lohnt sich die Aussicht. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.
