10/10 Excellent
"It's a lovely hotel right on shore of the lake. Room was large and comfortable and the reception staff were very friendly. Dinner was excellent but the breakfast was poor for the money. We struggled getting to the hotel as there were no taxis available from Stressa station. Overall we really enjoyed our short stay and actually enjoyed this area more than Lake Como ."

"A really lovely stay at the ibis budget. A very short walk to the lake and a 20 minute walk to the centre of Lugano. Room was kept very clean and staff were friendly. Paradiso train station a 5 minute walk and bus stops nearby. Recommend the bakery/tea room round the corner!"

Hotel Collinetta

Hotel Collinetta

10/10 Excellent
"We loved the view, privacy, helpfulness of the staff when we had rental car issues and relaxing atmosphere at the Hotel Collinetta. The room was lovely and the air conditioning very much appreciated as it was quite warm for our stay. We ate at the restaurant several times during our 4 night stay and loved every meal. The breakfast was wonderful also. Collinetta was the highlight of our 2 week trip to Switzerland. We would definitely stay again."
