Guest Reviews

• Luzia (10/5): - Schönes sauberes Zimmer, super Frühstück, Kaffe und Tee in kleinem Gemeinschaftsraum. Liegt in super schönem Bergdorf
• Birgit (8/5): Es waren schöne Tage dort. Die Gastgeberinnen sind freundlich und hilfsbereit. Gute Lage. - Das Frühstück war super. Vor allem war es liebevoll und schön angerichtet. Wir hatten das Zimmer mit Balkon, der war Gold wert. Im Haus hat es ein Restaurant, das war sehr praktisch. Das Bad hatte keine Türe, das geht gar nicht. Und es hat wenig Ablagefläche.
• Christine (9/5): Wir merken uns die Adresse für einen nächsten Aufenthalt in der Region! - Tolle Lage in einem wunderbaren Tessiner Dorf, gute Erreichbarkeit mit Postauto oder über Funiculare Monte Brè in Verbindung mit einem aussichtsreichen Spaziergang, wunderbares Frühstück, nettes Personal und gute Ausgangslage zum Wandern.
• Irmgard (9/5): - Wunderbares Frühstück. Alles was man wollte es hat an nichts gefehlt. Die Lage ist traumhaft. Von dem viel belebten Lugano in ein Dorf das so traumhaft ist mit den Häusern usw. die Lage mit dem Bergen und der Blick auf den See unbeschreiblich. Das Bad war nicht mit dem Zimmer verbunden. Was uns aber nicht groß störte da wir nur 1 Nacht dort waren. Alles in allem schön.
• celine (10/5): - Die aussergewöhnliche Gastfreundschaft, der Ort, alles hat gestimmt.
• Rainer (9/5): Gerne wieder! - Grossartiges Frühstück, das für jeden Gast persönlich gemacht wird. Sara ist eine wundervolle Gastgeberin. Alles schön eingerichtet und mit Herzblut gemacht. Es hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Etwas hellhörig
• Corinne (10/5): Jederzeit wieder! 🙂 - Ameublement intérieur spacieux et confortable. La communication avec Sara, la logeuse, est efficace et exemplaire. Le petit déjeuner, composé de produits fraîchement préparés, est copieux et préparé avec soin. -
• Walter (9/5): Schöner Kurzaufenthalt in einem komfortablen B&B - Sehr gefallen haben uns die drei sympathischen Gastgeberinnen: Manuele, Jaqueline und Sara, die wir vorwiegend beim Frühstück antrafen. Das Frühstück selber war ausgezeichnet: sehr reichhaltig und alles frisch. Das Zimmer gross, hell, modern und sehr sauber mit eigenem Badezimmer. (Es könnten einige Wandhacken angebracht werden, um die getragenen Jacken aufzuhängen). Die Betten und Kopfkissen sehr bequem. Sehr gut ist die Anbindung an den ÖV. Bus alle halbe Stunden. In knapp 25 Minuten ist man bequem in Lugano-centro. Mit der TicinoCard, die uns Manuela per eMail besorgt hat, ist man im ÖV gratis unterwegs. Der grosse Parkplatz gegenüber ist praktisch und kostet CHF 6 pro Tag, zahlbar bar oder mit diversen Karten oder Twint. Man muss wissen, dass das Zimmer wie in einer Ferienwohnung unterhalten wird: Zimmer wird nicht gemacht und es wird nicht gereinigt. Aber man wurde jeden Tag gefragt, ob man etwas benötigt (z.B. Handtücher) und die wurden rasch besorgt.
• Wolfgang (3/5): Werbung gut Zimmer sehr schlecht - Gar nicht Lage , null Aussicht
• cbiner (10/5): - Sehr schönes B&B
• Marianne (10/5): Perfetto! Tornerò 👍😎 - Padrone di casa molto cordiali, camere arredate con amore in una posizione meravigliosamente tranquilla. Tornerò! Tutto perfetto!
• Manuel (10/5): Un parfait séjour en amoureux - Sara est fantastique, cordiale et très attentionnée ! Une hôte parfaite ! L'endroit est très nature, il y a des bus toute la soirée, facile pour se rendre à lugano. Une très belle découverte ! rien
• Regula (9/5): Ich habe mich sehr wohl gefühlt in diesem Haus. Sara ist eine ausgesprochen nette Gastgeberin und das Frühstück war supe - Das kleine Zimmer ist hell, modern und spartanisch eingerichtet und der kleine Balkon bietet einen schönen Blick auf die Berge. Der Bus fährt direkt beim Parkplatz vor dem Haus. Mir fehlte ein Garderobenhaken um eine feuchte Jacke aufzuhängen.
• Maria (9/5): Wunderschön gelegen, sehr tolle Gastgeberin und liebevoll eingerichtetes B&B - Tolle Lage, liebe Gastgeberin und super leckeres Frühstück. Der Balkon mit Blick auf die Berge war unglaublich schön Tagsüber war es teilweise etwas laut durch das Restaurant und den Kirchturm. Nachts war es jedoch sehr ruhig 🙏
• Christiana (9/5): Our stay was wonderful, very pleased. The restaurant, food & staff was great!!! - The location was perfect! The breakfast delicious; the staff was fine. Would have enjoyed a coffee maker in the room. Not necessary, but a small TV would have been nice.
• Jasmin (10/5): - Frühstück war sehr gut und reichhaltig. Sara ist eine tolle Gastgeberin. Das Zimmer war hell, sauber und schön eingerichtet. Gemeinschaftsraum mit Kaffee und Tee. Günstige Parkmöglichkeit vor dem Haus Lage direkt neben der Kirche ist etwas laut wenn man Fenster offen hat. In meinem Zimmer ist die Toilette direkt im Zimmer. Je nachdem mit wem man reist ist dies etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Für alleine spielt es keine Rolle

• Christine (9/5): -
• Heinz (9/5): -
• Natacha (10/5): relaxant dans un village typique et à proximité de la nature - Le calme, l'emplacement loin de la ville, le bus à proximité. La gentillesse de Sara et de sa maman. Le déjeuner était qu'avec des produits locaux et du très bon café :-) Emplacement idéal pour les randonnées. rien!
• Ed (8/5): -
• Pradeep Kumar Reddy (9/5): It was good, friendly team, Great Breakfast - The property owner was very friendly and kind, the whole experience and the way she handle me was excellent. She helped me in the check-in process, sent all processes via WhatsApp. And she guided the places to watch. As the location was at the top of the hill-- one way it is so peaceful and looks amazing. There are very old buildings which are next level, the trekking way is awesome. And the good thing is the bus stop is in front of the hotel, just 30 mt.
• Andreas (10/5): -
• Richard (10/5): -
• Irina (10/5): - Волшебное месторасположение. Почти на вершине горы. Там очень тихо, а виды настолько прекрасны, что дух захватывает. Уже второй раз останавливались в этом отеле и приехали бы снова:) До вершины горы Bre минут 15 ходьбы. Идеальная чистота, хороший завтрак. На 1-2 ночи идеально. Всем рекомендую.
• Philip (9/5): I loved it. Wished I could have stayed longer. - Sara, the host / owner is great and very helpful and it's easy to get hold of her if any problems are encountered. The instructions for getting into the room are easy to follow and kinda fun at the same time. The rooms are clean, stylish and minimal while Bre is a lovely spot a world away from Lugano. Food at the restaurant (although not part of the B&B) is extremely good. Nothing!
• Delphine (10/5): - La chambre était super, très propre et confortable. L’entrée autonome était facile et les instructions claires. Le déjeuner compris très généreux. Je recommande vivement.
• Julia (10/5): -

• Alphonse (9/5): Cosy and quiet location on top of lake Lugano - We had one night stay. The way up from Lugano to the little village perched on the mountain overlooking the lake was already breathtaking with magnificent views of the lake. The room was quite spacious, and we spent a peaceful night, with a well-prepared breakfast in the morning by Sara. Sara was very attentive to us and it was easy to get into nice talks with her. We loved the peaceful spot in the heights of Lugano. Highly recommended!
• Michelle (9/5): We had a lovely stay and would go again. - We had a very comfortable, large room on suite and access to a small sitting room with a fridge, coffee, tea etc. The apartment block has an elevator and is nicely maintained. It is also close to many beautiful hikes in the area. The village has no shops at all so you need to buy your supplies in Lugano which is a 25 minute bus ride from Bre. All tourists however get a free transportation card for busses and trains in the area.
• Ingo (10/5): Perfect place to be. - Great breakfast No McDonalds close by. The next McDonalds is 27 Minutes away. :-)
• Osama (9/5): - Great hotel great view
• Agata (10/5): Highly recommend! - Room was clean, modern and cozy! Host Sara was very kind! Breakfast was excellent! Location perfect ! Nothing
• Nadine (10/5): Cannot wait to come back for a longer visit! - We fell in love with the bed and breakfast and the little town in the mountain!
• Lonneke (9/5): -
• Monica (10/5): - Das Zimmer ist mit allem eingerichtet was man braucht. Das Auto kann gleich auf der anderen Seite parkiert werden (kostenpflichtig). Das Frühstück ist liebevoll angerichtet und sehr vielfältig. Uns hat es sehr gefallen, auch wenn das Hotel nicht zentral liegt.
• Christian (9/5): Es war sehr schön, als Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge war es gut. Das Restaurant vor Ort ist ein Plus. - Guter Checkin, das benachbarte Restaurant. Die Lage war gut, die Busanbindung nach Lugano sehr gut und die Wandermöglichkeiten in der Region ausreichend vorhanden. Das Bad wurde immer gereinigt und es gab immer neue Handtücher. Das Frühstück war Anfangs gut zum Ende des Aufenthalts hin leider etwas schlechter. Sara war eine sehr nette Gastgeberin und hat sich um alles gekümmert. Das das Zimmer leider während des ganzen Aufenthalts (6 Tage) nicht gereinigt bzw. nicht nachgefragt wurde, ob das Zimmer gereinigt werden soll.
• Marcella (10/5): -
• Allaire (10/5): -
• Luca (10/5): Camera fantastica come il piccolo paesino,la signora che ci ha ospitato ci ha fatto sentire a casa - Stanza , servizi , comfort
• Andrea (10/5): -
• Petronella (9/5): Superb -
• Denes (10/5): A short but perfect romantic getaway on top of Monte Bré :) - The location was amazing and in short walking distance from the top of beautiful Monte Bré. We've also done a bit of hiking around the neighbourhood and it was a peaceful quiet area with wonderful panoramic view all over Lugano Lake. The room was small with a fit in bathroom but it was stylishly furnished, had a nice relaxing atmosphere with a little balcony facing the cute church outside and the bed was very comfortable. All in all it was super convenient for a short stay. The host was also very friendly and we were served a lovely breakfast in the morning. We would definitely stay again! :)
• Maarit (10/5): A beautifully decorated B&B with warm hospitality, a charming village atmosphere, and an unforgettable breakfast – S - A Wonderful Experience Above Lugano! Salotto Brè – Bed & Breakfast was an absolutely lovely experience. The room was beautifully decorated with great taste, and the whole place radiated peace and charm. We truly felt welcomed – the hospitality was exceptional. Sara is a fantastic host: warm, thoughtful, and attentive. The breakfast was the cherry on top – delicious and clearly made with love. The small village of Brè has a unique, cozy atmosphere that makes you want to return just for the feeling. Highly recommended! -
• Shamaila (1/5): On a hot day it is impossible to sleep without A/C - Location was scenic Considering how hot it was - There was no A/C which made it impossible to sleep, the uncomfortable pillows made this worse. We stopped here on our roadtrip so we really needed some good rest and therefore I can't rate this as a good place to stay.
• Vasily (10/5): Alps fairytale! - Very very lovely hotel with amazing hospitality . And very tasty homemade cheeses -
• Ting (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sculea (10/5): Exceptional -
• Daniela (10/5): Stunning, 100% clean the staff beyond friendly. Yammy breakfast. Deffinately coming back - Everything None
• Karin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Pathammavong (10/5): Exceptional -
• James (10/5): Exceptional - Amazing location, easy parking, breakfast tasty and filling, hosts fantastic!
• Andrea (10/5): Magnificent place with awesome, friendly staff! - Cosy, friendly, lovely, kind staff! The only thing is the long, curvy road up the mountain…
• Stephanie (10/5): Exceptional view of the lake and perfect B&B - On the heights of the Lake, accessible by road by car or bus (day and night if you want to go to Lugano) or by funicular, exceptional view of the lake. Easy and quick contact with Sara. All instructions are given before arrival. The B&B is very clean, very quiet, comfortable and well equipped. Beautiful decoration. Small balcony terrace is very pleasant. There is a very good restaurant next door open for lunch and an other one close to the B&B. Excellent and complete salty / sweet breakfast with fresh and quality products. Hiking trails on the heights. Everything was perfect. Nothing
• Carolina (10/5): Exceptional -
• Marcel (10/5): Perfect in every way - Fresh, modern, comfortable Room with en-suite bathroom. Easy Self-checking-in and lovely breakfast arranged. Very nice host and easy communication ahead of arrival.
• Jozef (8/5): Very good - A nice, small b&b in a very nice village where we found ample opportunities to make very nice walks/hikes.
• Arnold (7/5): Good - I would have liked to have a comfortable chair and some table on which I can place my laptop and check e-mail
• Cassie (9/5): Superb - The location is amazing for a relaxing getaway. Bre is such a cute, quiet town. Accom was very personal. It is a small room but clean, good shower and cute balcony. Beautiful views on the drive up and on the top of Mount Bre. Breakfast was outstanding and the host accommodated my gluten intolerance! The room had a portable fan but was still quite warm overnight - would suggest aircon or a larger fan for summer.
• Shirley (5/5): Passable - Loved the location with good access to Lugano by bus Self check in with no staff. The design of the bedroom with the toilet behind a glass screen meaning no privacy
• Németh (9/5): Superb -
• Mark (9/5): nice hosts and stay - excellent location - nice breakfast - nice place great location nice hosts great breakfast
• Alice (9/5): Serene spot on Monte Bré, a place to return to . - Fantastic spot on the mountain.Very clean, nice view, easy access with the instructions so I could arrive at any hour. Lovely breakfast down in the restaurant . Public Parking in front of the property and inexpensive . The building has an elevator ! My bathroom was separate from the bedroom. Access through the corridor where other rooms where located. Bathroom did not have private lock so other people could access it .
• George (9/5): Superb - Only negative the open bathroom/toilet. Apart from the uncomfortable toilet visit while your other half is still in the room, it is surely not ideal in terms of hygiene. A single door would make the whole experience perfect.
• Christian (9/5): Nice place to stay with exceptional panoramic views nearby - Great breakfast. Location in the middle of Brè sopra Lugano (20 min. bus-ride from the centre of Lugano). Good starting point for hikes in the surrounding hills. The staff of the Ristorante and the B&B owner work well together. -
• Nora (9/5): Superb -
• Beth (10/5): Exceptional - Location was removed and quiet in the lovely small village of Bre'. Sara and Jackie were wonderful in providing service and being so very friendly. Access to Lugano by the funicular or bus was easy. The Bre' art community is represented throughout the village and is charming. There is an excellent restaurant, Grotto, and another opening at the B&B building operated by members of the Grotto family. Loved this accommodation.
• Liisa (10/5): Exceptional - Very charming house and room. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Whole experience was very nice. Very clear instructions and easy access. Delicious breakfast in beautiful restaurant area.
• Gwangmu (10/5): Exceptional -
• Boris (9/5): Superb -
• Kerrigan (10/5): Great location with excellent breakfast. Sara was a fantastic host - Great location with excellent breakfast. Sara was a fantastic host
• Deb (10/5): Would highly recommend to travellers who want a break from city life. - Sara is a great communicator. A really warm welcome. I’m a solo traveller and Sara and the staff were so helpful. A nice atmosphere at the restaurant downstairs last night. Peaceful. Fantastic breakfast. Lots of local walks close by which unfortunately I didn’t have time to do.
• Melanie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Julia (10/5): Exceptional - I had the best time at Salotto Bre! The location is outstanding up on the mountain with an amazing view and extremely calm. Still it was very convenient to travel there by public transport which is included in the tourism tax but you can also have a hike down to the lake if you are looking for some activity. The breakfast was outstanding with a lot of vegetarian and even vegan options. The staff was super friendly and the restaurant in the same building also is a great option if you would like to have dinner close to the accommodation. I would definitely come again and/or recommend staying here!
• Rosemary (9/5): Superb - The village Bré is beautiful and quiet and is high above Lugano. Sara is a gracious and charming hostess who was helpful on local information. The breakfast was generous and the dining room lovely. Highly recommended, I would stay again Bré village has 2 restaurants only and both closed on Mondays. The bus arrives and departs once an hour. Neither of these things detract from the stay but need to keep in mind.
• Rosemarie (10/5): Perfect in every way - Location Staff were amazing
• Yasmine (10/5): Exceptional - Such great and clean place. The staff are super nice.
• Ingo (10/5): I am coming back! - Great location, friendly owner, great price The bed top end did not end at a wall like I am used to. Sorry, this was really the only thing I could find that was not perfect. There is nothing else.
• Laurent (10/5): Excellent setup with a very friendly owner. Simple but cozy rooms and super clean shared bathroom - The location is very cute, the building is very charming and extremely well kept. The shared bathroom is super clean and well arranged. My room was simple yet functional with a very comfy bed. n/a
• Mayita_nomad (9/5): Superb - The location is perfect, a very nice little town with amazing views. The staff was very friendly and accommodating and the small room was clean and the bed comfy. I didn't realise I booked a room with a shared bathroom, I always avoid that and next time I will make sure to get my own bathroom. It was my mistake not theirs and I must say the shared bathroom was clean and good sized, so no complaints.
• Jeroen (8/5): Very good -
• Santina (10/5): Wonderful. - Beautiful location, comfortable and cute rooms, very clean, friendly staff, restaurant on site. There is nothing to not like.
• Hanieh (10/5): Exceptional - Everything was perfect. 20 minutes drive from Lugano up the mountains
• Yasin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Jan (10/5): Exceptional -
• Anonymous (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful and clean room for our family and the best stay of our trip. Wonderful breakfast served by the owner. The personal touch during breakfast and throughout made it very special!
• Jan (3/5): Poor - Toilette was not separated from the room with door. Higly unpleasant. There was no TV in the room which is obviously quite often in Switzerland. Therefore, while booking your stay in Switzerland pay attention whether there is a TV in the room.
• Zsolt (10/5): Exceptional - everything was perfect
• Matthias (10/5): Exceptional - perfect place to stay. nice and cl an rooms and very good breakfast.
• Mailiis (9/5): Charming mountain top B&B - The location is charming, on top of the mountain with beautiful views from the room to every direction. The room itself was comfortable, clean & spacious. The breakfast was lovely, not too many options but everything that was there, was delicious. The parking was really easy with easypark app and all the communication with the host, prior to our stay made everything smooth and easy. This is just something to be aware of, that the B&B is literally right next to a church that starts ringing it's bells quite early in the morning. So close the windows if you don't want a really early wake up call :)
• Michał (10/5): Exceptional - beautiful apartment, super friendly host, easy communication, great location (for our needs) and fantastic breakfast!! ❤️ the church bells can be annoying (but they stop at 10pm). also no food options nearby other than the osteria that happened to be closed that evening.
• Edward (9/5): Love nature - Salotto bre is an exceptional place in the middle of nature. Very quiet and clean. Sara was an amazing host and made us feel at home. Highly recommended.
• Holger (9/5): Superb -
• Tim (10/5): Exceptional -
• Sylvia (10/5): Beautiful We ate dinner at restaurant below and loved it - Beautiful property. Staff welcoming and friendly.
