Independent in Calanca Valley from AU$154

"The Lugano 4 nights/5 days were new to me and Villa Sassa including the city was very enjoyable."

"The staff really makes this hotel! It is small quiet place with a caring, friendly, helpful staff. The rest of Lake Como was overrun with tourists and staff who were tired and even borderline rude. But not at Villa Reverie! They were consistently welcoming, gracious, and respectful. It takes a little planning to move around the lake because it is not a common boat stop, but with a little planning, all activities are possible. We went to Bellagio one day and Villa Balbiano the other. (Be sure to get Balbiano tickets online a couple of weeks ahead) We also went swimming in Bellano one afternoon and the staff hooked us up with a beach bag and towels. On a rainy day, we all needed umbrellas which were gladly provided. Special thanks to Jessica, Matteo, David, Donatello, and our lovely server/bartender from Puglia!! Grazie Mille!"

"Excellent choice for Ascona"

"Love the hotel because it’s right there by the lake with a beautiful view of Como. Lots of restaurants nearby and walkable to everything."

"This hotel is nicely located in the center of Lugano. Breakfast was wonderful! Our room was spotless, and it seemed quite new. The desk gave us an unexpected credit at their Mixology bar, which was a really helpful bonus. Would certainly recommend staying here!"

"Great stay!"

"This hotel was fantastic! The staff were super helpful and friendly, and they even made sure our furry friend was welcome. We had a wonderful time and would definitely recommend it. The only downside was the parking fee, which was a bit steep, but it wasn’t a deal-breaker. Thanks 😊"

"The USP of this property is the amazing view down to Lago di Lugano across into Switzerland. There is also the interesting story about the old funicular railway to the rear of the hotel which closed in 1977 but may be refurbished and reinstated if funds can be secured. It is a rural location, about 20 mins walk from the nearby town of Lanzo d'Intelvi and the bus service from Como drops you about 400m from the hotel reception if you aren't driving. Rooms were not air conditioned but you do get a oscillating fan! Get a room with a view and you won't be disappointed "

"The staff is excellent! Matteo really helped us. All the other staff; maids and kitchen staff were great! Great location for ferries and experiencing Varenna!"
