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!

Despite the rain, we had a fantastic two-night stay at Hotel Sassa. The service was excellent, the views were stunning even in bad weather, and the spa was a perfect escape. The breakfast was super. A great spot for a relaxing couples’ getaway.

Tired hotel charging premium price

Expensive for what it was. The hotel feels a little tired. Breakfast was the highlight. Disappointing that they wanted to charge a flat fee of 40CHF to use the car charger (irrespective of actual usage).

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.
