Not recomend this place
Pros:

The location is good with views of the lake and the forest above the building. We were in a studio for two and after 50 days of traveling all over Europe, I can say that this was the dirtiest and most uncomfortable room. The sofa was covered in large stains, as was the bedspread. We slept with our clothes on without using anything, there was not even soap. The price we paid was 124 euros plus a 15 euro dog fee for this dirty room. We don't mind basic furnishings, but hygiene is important. I am surprised by the positive ratings for this property and I do not recommend it.

Cons:

Everything except good location.

Prachtige locaties, vriendelijk personeel! Maar mag update krijgen.
Pros:

Locatie was prachtig met uitzicht over het meer van Lugano, heerlijke tuin om in te relaxen. Personeel was erg aardig en zorgde dat alles naar je wensen was

Cons:

Het is erg gedateerd ( wat ook zijn charmes heeft) maar het bed leek wel een betonblok en hebben wij 10 dagen op slaapbank geslapen. En het was niet erg schoon maar daar keken we dan ook maar doorheen!
