Guest Reviews

• Didier (8/5): Un hôtel familial, un accueil chaleureux et une cuisine au top. - L'hôtel est bien situé, propre et confortable. Le top est à la cuisine. Ne passez pas à côté des repas au restaurant. C'est du fait maison, des produits locaux et beaucoup d'amour... la proximité de la rue fait qu'on ne peut pas dormir fenêtre ouverte, mais il y a la climatisation...
• Yvonne Ruth (9/5): Schöner, erholsamer Kurzurlaub💖 - Die Ruhe und der Garten🌴🌸☀️ Alles Bestens👍
• Pamela (8/5): - Zimmer sind sauber.
• Cristina (10/5): Paradis - La gentillesse de la propriétaire et du personnel. Le repas a été divin. Une entrée burrata betterave framboise orange que je n’oublierai jamais. La meilleure entrée dégustée de tous les voyages. Le double vitrage ne laisse aucun son passer depuis l’extérieur, même côté route. Une très belle expérience vécue. RAS

• arzu (10/5): Один из лучших мини отелей! - Все было замечательно! Чистота просто супер! Очень красивый отель с замечательным садом. Месторасположение хорошое,конечно же удобно на автобусе возвращаться,так как обратно из центра идти в гору. Но,это я лентяйка. Так как идти 10/15 минут. Но,самое главное сотрудники и хозяйка этого отеля. У вас возникает чувства что вы приехала к своим родственникам. Спасибо им огромное. С оплатой не понятно было. У меня то ли сняли то ли заблокировали средства на карте до заезда и я там ещё раз заплатила. Но,к счастью деньги вернулись через несколько дней, те что,в начале сняли. И ещё поскольку у меня карта в долларах, то,я платила в них. И хозяйку это расстроила,она почему то подумала что я меньше заплатила,мне было очень неудобно перед ней, хотя я заплатила 244 доллара вместо 158 франков,то есть, все перевели по курсу на тот день и она должна получить на свой счёт 158 франков. Единственный не понятный момент, как то ушла с чувством что, она расстроилась и может решила что я не добросовестная. Надеюсь,деньги ей пришли в полном объёме и она увидела что это не так.
• Framo (8/5): Ein Tag und eine Nacht auf der Durchreise nach Mailand - Gute Lage, kostenloser Parkplatz am Haus und sehr freundliches Personal.
• Silvia (9/5): - Super gelegen und mit der Ticino Card —Bushaltestelle vor dem Haus—alles gut erreichbar Freundliches Personal und sehr hilfsreiche ,freundliche Besitzerin!Leckeres Frühstück, leider kamen wir nicht in den Genuss vom Nachtessen da Sonntags geschlossen Park vom Hotel kleine erholsame Oase zum Relaxen mitten in Lugano Wer rustikales liebt ist hier am rechten Ort!
• Codiferro (10/5): - Chefin und Personal sehr zuvorkommend, das Zimmer und Dusche sehr schön und sehr sauber. Das Essen war ein kulinarischer Genuss. Die Gartenanlage mit vielen Blumen und Gewürzen wunderbar.

• Vasile Catrinel (9/5): -
• Yuliia (10/5): Brilliant - Everything was perfect, I’m definitely felt myself home, really cozy and friendly place 😍, especially convenient beds with soft mattress and light duvet . Nothing
• Baptiste (10/5): - Personnel très sympa et accueillant, très bel endroit bien situé, très bon petit déjeuner. Magnifique chambre
• bernard (8/5): -
• Sara (9/5): - Liebenswürdige Hausherrin, sehr freundliches Personal, top Lage (ruhig), das Zentrum ist schnell erreichbar, schöner Garten mit Pool, den man bei wärmeren Temperaturen mehr geniessen könnte, Tische und Treppenhaus immer stilvoll mit frischen Blumen geschmückt, wunderbares Nachtessen, frisch zubereitet mit regionalen Produkten
• Angela (8/5): Mejorar las toallas y sabanas. - La atencion, el desayuno, y el comedor muy bueno Las toallas duras, pueden usar algo para suavizarlas y las sabanas y almohadas se pueden mejorar
• Sarah (10/5): -

• António Vítor (9/5): Excelente estadia, recomendo - De tudo, local familiar, estadia boa, comida ótima, funcionárias super simpáticas, a dona do hotel muito simpática também. Recomendo tudo muito limpo Piscina excelente Dos mosquitos e melgas, com o calor, havia muito. Mas fora isso excelente
• Keara (10/5): A charming hotel & restaurant in an oasis of a location. - What a beautiful oasis of a location! Just 12 minutes’ walk from the train station, or only a couple of minutes by bus #4, which leaves right from the station, drops you off practically at the front door of the hotel, and runs often. The small hotel itself is so charming and gemütlich - you walk down a long path covered by a grapevine arbor to the entrance, where you’re greeted immediately. The gardens on the property are not only beautiful, they are functional! Fresh flowers decorate every table in the dining room and every floor of the hotel, and meals are completed with fresh fruits and vegetables picked right outside the door. Wanda was a wonderful host, and she and her kitchen staff put together some unforgettable meals. I hope you have a chance to try the quail with fresh plums, the handmade pasta, or the freshly churned ice cream. Be sure to ask for a room with a view - it was stunning! We didn’t have a chance to use the pool but other guests really enjoyed. Comfortable beds, spotless rooms, and a warm atmosphere made this place truly unglaublich!! Thank you, Wanda. There was nothing I didn’t like.
• Ulrich (9/5): - Schönes, kleines Hotel, liegt sehr ruhig und grün, obwohl mitten in der Stadt. Auf angenehme Weise altmodisch. Sehr schöner Garten mit relativ großem Pool. Ausgezeichnetes Abendessen, mit erstklassigen Weinen, von der Chefin kundig vorgeschlagen. Insgesamt eine überraschende, sehr angenehme Erfahrung. Nichts.
• Wendy (8/5): - Serene rust. Kamers zijn basic, veel wit, maar bed is goed en badkamer ook. Personeel is vriendelijk. Zit dicht bij het station maar toch midden in de rust. Eten is perfect, vooral de zelfgemaakte ijs. In de tuin kan je lekker ontspannen en kamers zijn geluidsdicht, had het gevoel alleen te zijn in het hotel. Handig om te weten dat er op zondag geen diner is. Als je voor de ingang staat dan zit links een trap omhoog en daar kan je als gast naar binnen met je sleutel. Er zitten wel veel muggen in de omgeving dus raam dicht houden en buiten muggenspray gebruiken.
• Tewfik (9/5): - Le personnel La vue sur le lac La propreté Rien .
• Carmela (10/5): Maravilloso - El lugar muy lindo y limpio y la recepción muy buena y un buen desayuno. Está muy cerca del centro. Volvería a ir de nuevo
• Clivaz (8/5): Très bien! - Un acceuil très chaleureux! Les plats étaient délicieux et permettaient de découvrir les saveurs de la région
• Olivier (10/5): Excellentissime!... magnifique séjour avec mes enfants!... -
• Mauro (7/5): -
• Sibylle (8/5): Für einen Kurzaufenthalt , Perfekt. - Wunderschöne Villa mit einem schönen Garten und Pool. Sehr schönes Ambiente. Gutes Frühstück.
• Sergio (3/5): In apparenza bello ma poi una grande delusione - la gentilezza dello staff impossibile utilizzare la piscina e le aree esterne per la presenza incessante di zanzare, i cuscini durissimi e il letto di dimensioni non standard ( ho dormito con i piedi fuori ), pietanze non all'altezza del prezzo pagato ( 241 euro contando anche una bottiglia da 50 euro, l'unica più abbordabile, due antipasti e tre primi che meritavano ancora dai 5 ai sei minuti di cottura) mangiate con posate in argento come ci è stato fatto notare con grande soddisfazione dalla cameriera ...ma francamente chi se ne importa, avrei preferito mangiare bene.
• Birgit (7/5): -
• Katrin (9/5): - Loved this place, a last minute stopover that felt so welcoming. Extremely comfortable beds, spotlessly clean and a magnificent breakfast complete with homemade jams! Id definitely go back.
• Isabelle (10/5): Séjour charmant dans un écrin de verdure - Très jolie surprise en arrivant dans cet hôtel familial, niché dans un coin de verdure. L'ambiance est celle d'une maison de famille, avec des meubles anciens et une superbe piscine située dans un magnifique jardin. La chambre était simple, mais très confortable et d'une propreté irréprochable, avec une jolie vue sur le jardin. La propriétaire est adorable. Nous avons dîné à l'hôtel, le repas était succulent avec des recettes locales et des produits du jardin. Les glaces maison sont incroyables. Pour Lugano, c'est un très bon rapport qualité/prix. RAS!
• Ekaterina (9/5): Прекрасный частный отель в Лугано - Очень милый частный отель с садом и бассейном. Везде очень чисто, прекрасные виды из окна. Тихий район, при этом довольно близко к центру Лугано. Приятнейшая хозяйка, спокойная, вежливая. Бесплатная парковка, нам всегда было где встать. WiFi работает на всей территории отеля, кроме бассейна. К слову, бассейн хоть и небольшой, но чистый и уютный, рядом лужайка, столики и лежаки, мне понравилось. Завтрак это 4 вида мучных изданий, джемы (в тч домашнего приготовления), масло, сыр/ветчина и горячий и холодный напиток на выбор. Хороший сытный завтрак, правда, на 4 день поднадоел :) но вроде можно и по меню отдельно заказывать еду на завтрак, я про это сразу не спросила. Предоставляют Tichino ticket, помимо бесплатного общественного транспорта это еще и 20% скидка в музеи и фуникулер Мне не хватало холодильника, чтобы хранить та ми йогурты и фрукты. Но я знала об этом заранее, это указано в описании комнаты.
• Silvia (9/5): - Sehr schöner Garten mit Pool! Bushaltestelle gegenüber, Zentrum einfach erreichbar!
• Tim (8/5): Urlaubs Feeling! - -Pool mit charmantem Garten. -Grosszügiges Frühstück mit selbstgemachter Marmelade.
• Bartosz (9/5): -
• Barbara (10/5): - La Villa est très bien située proche de tout. C'est un havre de paix en ville. La gentillesse de la propriétaire et du personnel m'a donnée l'impression d'être chez des amis. Très bon dîner avec produits du terroir. Bravo je vais revenir professionellement et en famille. Petit bémol horaire de la piscine mais on peut comprendre car c'est par soucis de comfort et quiétude pour tous les invités
• Sipan (10/5): -
• Miguel (10/5): Exceptionnel et convivial vrai esprit de famille - Accueil, sourire, attention du personnel Cuisine de qualité supérieure avec produits frais du potager Absence de gel douche
• Sherrie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Polina (9/5): Superb - I loved this place, so happy we found it, very beautiful house, garden and swimming pool. And owner creates relaxing and cosy atmosphere. One evening we had dinner there and it was the best dinner from our trip. Breakfast is simple, but served in very nice room, perfect start for the day. Would definitely like to return there.
• Göran (9/5): Reccomended - This is a lovely little place, green and quiet with a pool garden. The lady, Wanda is a personality and takes great care of her guests. Nothing.
• Patricia (9/5): Superb -
• Amber (9/5): Comfortable and clean room, great breakfast and restaurant. Very comfortable stay. - Beautiful grounds, flowers, plants and trees. Nice restaurant on ground floor. Breakfast was very nice. Clean modern bathroom, comfortable bed and pillows, good television.
• David (8/5): good stop over in Lugano - the room was large, view was nice, bed was comfy, shower was powerful,
• Ingrid (9/5): Charming stay in Lugano - Lovely little hotel with beautiful garden and excellent pool (mountain view!) close enough to Lugano centre and lake with all its activities. Very welcoming host, who also runs a good restaurant on the property. Compared to other accommodations in Lugano reasonably priced. Free parking on site. Also, we were given a Ticino-ticket by the host which gives you free public transport and a discount on the funiculaire. We had a great 3 night stay and would stay here again when in the area! Rooms are small and basic without a balcony or tarrace but we knew that in advance. Some rooms have aircon some don’t (we were fortunate to have a room with aircon). It’s a bit of a walk to the lake and city centre (and back, uphill!) but that wasn’t a problem for us (especially with free bus service)
• Helena (8/5): A cozy hotel with a beautiful set pool, good for those travelling by car or not afraid of walking - The hotel was very nice and cosy with a well-sized pool set in a beautiful garden and against an amazing backdrop. The hotel staff was very friendly and smiley and eager to help out. The hotel staffs language knowledge did not include English and, except for the owner, just a little bit of French. We managed to find Portuguese as a common language but it might be good to know that they mostly speak Italian and German. Carrying our luggage up by myself for several sets of stairs, no elevator, was not exactly what I had hoped for after a day of train travels. However doable, it's important to mention that this hotel is not for those who can't handle stairs. We had beach towels with us on this trip, but for those who travel without the lack of pool towels is a pity in such a nice place. The fried food smell from the restaurant when we came back to the hotel the first evening was not very pleasing, but understandable considering that the hotel includes a popular restaurant with a great looking menu.
• Hugo (8/5): Very nice -
• Elisabet (9/5): Superb - We loved this place. Pool was great, breakfast good and dinner amazing. Very friendly host, and our room was newly renovated and comfortable. Air-conditioning an extra plus. A bit of noice from the road, but when windows were closed it was not a problem.
• Agnieszka (10/5): Exceptional - Great atmosphere, delicious food, nice garden and swimming pool, localisation
• Georgios (8/5): Nice place to relax after a long trip. - The villa is an oasis in the city with an excellent garden and a nice restaurant. The room simple but clean. Parking was easy.
• Ioannis (7/5): Good -
• Shabnaj (10/5): Exceptional - Rooms were clean and tidy, pool was beautiful with mountain view. Location was good about a 20min walk to the main centre. Host was lovely. Would definitely come back again
• Junius (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kinvara (10/5): HIDDEN GEM - It is a sweet hotel that feels like home. Very clean and super comfy beds. Lovely view and gardens. Bus stop is right outside or a short walk to city center.
• Linda (7/5): Good -
• Kyaw (9/5): Superb - Room is simple but so clean. Although the room no:9 doesn’t have balcony there are two windows and view is nice.The bed is comfortable, especially for us the pillows are very comfortable. Bus stop is in front of the hotel and very easy to go railway station and Lugano center. If you come with train, there is bus stop above the station. You can take bus no.4 direction Canobbio / Comano , at the fourth stop Via Tesserete you can get off and arrive hotel. Normal breakfast with homemade jam which is delicious. The lady who owns hotel is very desirable and speaks english, deutsch.
• Alison (10/5): Delightful and very welcoming experience. I would definitely stay there again. - It felt like I was staying in a family home. As it ties out we were the owner grew up there.
• Gaby (9/5): Superb -
• Peter (8/5): Very good - Comfortable bed, lovely garden. Excellent restaurant. Small room, poor Internet.
• Manmeet (8/5): Very good -
• Bo (10/5): Exceptional - The traditional way of check in and services. The owner was very nice. Helped me get a free ticket of Ticino canton. The villa and garden is amazing, with very rich variety of fruits. no
• Brealeigh (10/5): Exceptional -
• Benoit (8/5): Very good - Excellente restauration.
• Jim (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice 👌
• Bastian (8/5): Very good - The location was great - one can easily walk to the Lugano city center and the lake (5 to 10min comfortable walking), there is a bus stop directly in front of the hotel. The line takes you to the central station or the railway station or the lake in no time - public transportation is for free for tourists (in hotels). The most amazing was the restaurant - my husband and I have been travelling many times to Ticcino and Lugano and we are familiar with the cuisine and food. The small restaurant had by far the best food (and affordable by Swiss standards) we have ever had in Lugano. Genuine Ticcino food. All is absolutely fresh and much of the salads and fruits stem from their own garden. The staff (and the owner) are fullblood hospitality people who have been most kind and helpful. The hotel is simple, but rooms are modern and newly rennovated (with good taste). There is a wonderful garden and a swimming pool of about 15metres - very nice place to spend some calm time. not applicable
• Philipp (9/5): Superb - The swimming pool and the garden are great. A small refrigerator in the rooms would be great.
• Gennadiy (10/5): It's was surprice to get hotel like this, just small gem in Lugano - Atmosphera in this hotel like in my grandmother home. Everything very good organized, Just love it. Thank you very much for great vacation. All arrond mounts, lake is a beautiful. Very clean. Breakfast is so good. I love all !
• Marcus (10/5): Exceptional - Beautiful place snd views
• Al-ardhi (9/5): Superb -
• Laszlo (10/5): Exceptional - Excellent location to visit Lugano, free local transport included. Simple, but very clean room, beautiful garden and pool. Very good kitchen! No lift.
• Camilla (10/5): Lugano paradise - Villa selva is a real oasis a little piece of paradise in the city. Ten minutes walk or short bus ride from the station and town. You walk into beautiful gardens with a lovely pool that I made use of every day. The owner and staff are very friendly helpful and kind this means a lot when you travel alone. The food in the restaurant is fantastic I advise booking. My room was bright clean and comfortable with a lovely view over the garden and pool looking to the lake and mountains. The location is ideal for relaxing after a long day sightseeing and the bus stops right outside there is also off street parking if you need it. I had a fantastic few days here and would definitely recommend it. Nothing
• Christine (9/5): A romantic resting place - The lady is quite nice and gave us good advices. A real pro. The food is exceptional, original, fine, fresh, good quality . Slow food we loved it. The access lane and all garden full of flowers, so romantic. Also the terrace to dine . Our room for 3 adults a little too small . Swimming pool closed at 18 h: too early.
• Hasan (9/5): Villa Selva is a hidden treasure and my husband and I will certainly look to stay there again. - The grounds and outdoor pool were absolutely wonderful. Staff very friendly and helpful plus the accommodation was excellent.
• Soledad (10/5): Just Perfect! looking forward to coming back - Every detail was taken care off, very well managed and full of positive surprises. The place is quaint, has a wonderful ambience, lovely garden, swimming pool. Our room had partial view to the lake. nothing I didn' like
• Karacay (9/5): Superb -
• Laurent (8/5): Very good -
• Joumina (9/5): we enjoyed our stay and would love to visit it again. - A cute little hotel with warm atmosphere. It felt like I was in my grand mother's house. The owner is always present and takes care of her clients. It has a cute garden with a swimming pool, we were ther in april, it wasnt opened yet. there is a restaurant in the ground floor that serves homemade meals prepared by the owner herself. the room is very basic, just a bed, an old wardrobe, a small table and a chair, but we didnt need more. The bathroom was clean and had towels, hairdryer, soap and shampoo. our room was on the corner, so we had a view to the lake and the swimming pool, and from the other window we had a view to the beautiful alley leading to the garden and restaurant. There is no lift, so you have to carry your luggage, but it is only 2 levels. It is not in the historic center, but a bus stop just in front of the hotel will take you there in around 10 minutes.
• Martin (10/5): Exceptional - Exceptionally friendly and helpful host!
• Nora (9/5): it was very comfortable & pleasant in all ways - very well located & accessable by public transport nothing
• Melissa (10/5): thanks to the owner, who made my stay so perfect !! - It’s a wonderful hidden gem in Lugano! you will feel like Home from the first second!! the owner and staff are the heart of this place. all the cuisine is home made. very spacious and clean rooms in the Garden you can relax by the pool - so there is really no better place to stay than this Villa
• Christopher (8/5): Very pleasant stay here, would definitely return if coming to Lugano again - Great place only 15 mins walk from main rail station. Lovely garden with loungers and I enjoyed a swim in the pool too. Excellent small restaurant, part of the hotel, if you want an evening meal. Comfortable beds.
• Eleanor (9/5): overall very nice hotel with great breakfast but be prepared for long uphill walk from the train station - Very quiet and clean with an excellent breakfast with homemade jams Uphill walk from the train station but okay once you get the Ticino pass for free bus transport
• Benzon (7/5): Good - Workers can only speak italian and only 1 person can speak other languages
• Syu (7/5): Good -
