Amazing stay at fantastic location

Amazing stay with friendly staff and great location! We stayed at Villa Sassa for one night and found the location superb. It is a bit outside of the Lugano city center and is this quieter, but still very easy to go downtown. The room was very clean, the staff was helpful, the pool with view on the lake is incredible. For breakfast there were a lot of choices, all rather good. I definitely recommend this place!

VARUN, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel is a bit dated, 1980s architecture. The rooms are a nice size though and the bathrooms modernized. The pool is very nice. The restaurants and especially the service were awful. Overpriced, poor food and arrogant waiters really put a damper on our stay.

Peaceful Getaway with Stunning Views and Relaxatio

We had a wonderful experience – this hotel offers a luxurious and relaxing stay with excellent spa facilities, a beautiful outdoor pool overlooking the lake, a great jacuzzi, and a spacious gym. The hotel was not crowded, which added to the peaceful atmosphere. It truly has everything you need for a quiet, rejuvenating vacation. The only downsides were the food, which was just average for a 4-star hotel, and the overpriced bistro – better to dine in town. Still, breakfast was good, and overall, this place has the potential to become our regular summer getaway.

We stayed at the suite room and that was amazing. The view was amazing. The bathroom was a little dirty the dloor(hairs) but the rest was perfect. The kitchen was great but they don’t have plates, silverware, etc. So you can’t cook there.

Villa Sassa is the BEST!!!

Amazing!! This is our 2nd stay and will come back again! Villa Sassa is a gem. The property has everything you can ask for. Their service is beyond. Breakfast is unique. Their servers are incredible amazing. We did Pilates and the coaches/instructors were professionals and knowledgeable with the classes. Ele, Sandra and the Zumba Colombian instructor were lovely. Laura the receptionist at the gym/spa was super nice booking our classes. They even provide a voucher to use public transportation for free!!! This is gorgeous!!! I love Villa Sassa and the stars are amazing!!!

Shame, needs work

Lovely original building and grounds. In room. Aircon had leaked, Blind in bedroom did not operate so no access to the balcony, could not connect to the wifi and neither could the hotel expert, plus smallest tv I've seen, last time in 3 star hotel. Tired facilities in the bathroom. No outlet cover in shower, shower base missing non-slip strip. No hand soap. Bit of a maze to the room, lack of signage. O/W nice hotel with views over Lugano - due to above overpriced.

10/10 Exceptional

Vi blev opgraderet gratis til den store suite, som var helt fantastisk med masser af plads og to altaner, begge med flotte udsigter. Stort fitness center med mange forskellige maskiner og en dejlig wellness-afdeling med udendørs (kun om sommeren) og indendørs pool, spa, sauna, dampbad, koldtvandsbassin og fodbad. God morgenmadsbuffet. Lidt dyr parkering (CHF 20 pr nat), og køkkenudstyr koster ekstra, hvis man vil bruge køkkenet. Vi havde dog taget vores eget med, og det blev ikke kommenteret. Der er ca. 2 km at gå ned til centrum (via en masse trapper og en trafikeret vej, men der kører også en bus lige udenfor døren, som kan anvendes gratis med Ticino ticket, som kan fås gratis i receptionen på forespørgsel.
