Review of Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola in Lugano

This hotel is absolutely stunning, both during the day and at night. Each floor has its own unique color scheme and design, making every level distinct and beautifully decorated. Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola in Lugano, Switzerland This hotel has a history of 140 years and is owned by an old and established family. I stayed for a week in a Junior Suite and utilized all the services, from dining at every restaurant to laundry services. Location - Excellent. It’s a 10-15 minute walk to the city center through a lakeside park by Lake Lugano. The area is peaceful and exclusive. Suite - The room is old but of very high quality. It’s spacious at 50 square meters, with a walk-in closet and breathtaking views of the garden, lake, and mountains. The room is restocked daily with fresh fruit and four liters of still and sparkling mineral water. It has everything you could need. Facilities - This is the highlight of the hotel. There’s a two-story private lido where you can relax, swim in the lake, and enjoy a bar and lakeside facilities. Swans often glide by. The gardens are beautifully landscaped with large trees, flowers, and statues. There’s also a gym, swimming pool, and four restaurants ranging from fine dining to casual. Every day, there’s live grand piano music in the garden and lobby for three hours. Food - Breakfast and the fine dining restaurant are excellent. Service - Outstanding. Every staff member is exceptional.
