Villa Sassa

Villa Sassa

10/10 Excellent
"I got the room with the amazing view of the mountains, lakes and ponds! It was a hard room floor. Beds were comfortable. Room was clean Temperature was perfect to sleep throughout the night. My only recommendation is changing if the carpet in the passage and some floors and keeping the patios clean."

"Such a beautiful hotel. I loved sitting at the lido and swimming in the lake everyday of my stay. My husband preferred the garden and pool area which was stunning too. The stuff were so nice and helpful, it is a small hotel so we had very personal service which was super lovely. We will be back 😎"

Hotel Lido Seegarten

10/10 Excellent
"The location of the hotel was good. Easy to get to Lugano Centre by Line 2 Bus. The bus was SO reliable & came every 20 minutes. The room had a great view of the lake but was not well equipped re power points. The bathroom was excellent. I thought for an expensive hotel it was a bit much to charge you if you wanted a cooked omelette or eggs fried or poached. Most hotels offer this. The evening meal was excellent. I loved my veal & it had beautiful tasty accompaniments. The hotel provided the Ticino Card which meant bus Transport was free."

8/10 Good
"A hard review to write. I gave 5 stars in most areas. The service and the overall property was excellent but for the price we had some issues. The KEY to the room is a huge pain! You only get one key and if you lose it there is a $1000 Swiss franc fee to replace it and a minimum 3 hour wait. Two doors to go through so it is very inconvenient. While the room we had was very large with a bedroom plus a large kitchen/living space with two patios there was only one TV in the living room! No bedroom TV. The one TV would not let you stream your devices to it. No Netflix or other streaming source. There were no channels in English on the regular TV. Despite being named The View and paying over a $1000 a night we had a very partial and obstructed view. If you stay here make sure you are on the second or third floor. The view from the restaurant and spa are amazing and wonderful though. The bathtub/shower combination was just dangerous. Highest step out without any stability handles. Very poor design and for the cost you would expect separate units. Lastly the location is a real issue for most. Unless you have your own car expect to spend a lot in Taxis or spend time trying to find smart car parking and extra walking to anything - food shopping everything is a $25 or more ride into Lugano. Can't take Smart cars to Italy. Como is a $100 and one hour nightmare away."
