“Hotel&Hostel Montarina strikes me as a surprisingly versatile place, equally suited to both budget travellers and those seeking a touch of Italian villa charm. I'm particularly drawn to the beautiful gardens and pool, offering a relaxing escape so close to Lugano's city center and train station. The option to enjoy an aperitivo at the bar while overlooking the lake clinches it for me-a delightful experience.”
