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.
Steven, 2-night trip

6/10 Okay

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.
Katrin, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Great location to go downtown
Carlos, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

For me, the biggest reason why you come to Villa Sassa is the majestic view or the surrounding areas. It's a scene out of a movie. Beautiful with a lake view. The only thing that could be better is having more kid friendly food options and a major paint job of the buildings, as it looks outdated and takes away from the aesthetic view of the property.
Robert, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

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.
Josefina, 3-night trip

Nazila, 2-night trip

2/10 Terrible

The property is located in a far away location. Super difficult to access from the main tourist area. The hotel is old and the breakfast was not great. Regular food. The price does not reflect on the quality you get.
Sandra, 3-night trip

Great Hotel!
VARUN, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Friendly staff, beautiful location, lovely property. Restaurants were amazing. It was a much further (and arduous !) walk to city center than I expected, the spa treatments were mediocre and we had some kind of allergen issue in our room which we were somewhat compensated for

Our room was spectacular along with the view of the mountains and the lake. The breakfast was outstanding as well as the lunch. The ONLY thing that needs attention is the dirty carpeting in the hallways and the area around the spa. It was filthy-need shampooing
Michael, 1-night trip

Had a wonderful time at Villa Sassa. Friendly staff, very attentive, spacious room, wonderful wellness spa with pool, sauna, steam room. Delicious breakfast. Gorgeous view of the city and the lake. Want to come back during the summer time.

Had a great stay at Villa Sassa. Nice atmosphere and lovely view of the lake. Short walking distance to downtown as well.
Mads, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We LOVED our stay here. Our room included wellness and breakfast. The Wellness area offered an indoor pool and hot tub as well as mixed gender steam room. The sauna, relaxation area, cold plunge and change rooms are gender specific. We celebrated our engagement here and they upgraded us to a beautiful premium suite with a balcony. The breakfast was delicious with many different pastries, fruit, yogurt, meats, and cheeses. The property grounds were gorgeous - I recommend walking around to check out the view. We wished we’d booked another night!
