“I think this is a really lovely spot, perched right on the lake with a terrace that seems tailor-made for leisurely meals; plus, it's an easy walk to the train station and a bus stop is right outside the door. Rooms come clean and comfortable, and I appreciate that even 'street view' rooms can surprise you with lake-view terraces. For exploring Lake Lugano and its surroundings, this place strikes me as a smart choice.”
