This hotel was absolutely the most gorgeous hotel I have ever stayed. The suites are grand and pay a homage to its time period. The views are unbelievable and the staff is so polite and accommodating. I do wish they would have changed up the menu each morning for breakfast and each night for dinner. Great spot to travel North and South to Lake Como. A wonderful time was had on our girls trip!

My stay at the Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola Lugano was one of the best Hotel experiences I have ever had. My room was exquisite especially my gorgeous balcony with fabulous views of Lake Lugano. The surrounding gardens were so manicured and breathtaking! I stayed at Castagnola for 5 nights and my daily breakfast was a treat to look forward to. I also found the convenience of the Hotel to the city centre a bonus as I could easily walk this each day. Being a woman travelling solo I could not have been made to feel more welcome by the friendly and professional team at Villa Castagnola. I highly recommend this Hotel!
