The apartment was fantastic with amazing lake view. Very spacious and equipped with everything you need. Breakfast was a nice added touch even if it is quite limited. We were allowed to use a paddle board which was fantastic! My second time staying at this B&b and really liked the apartment.
The staff tried to charge us 15 euro per day for the air conditioning even though it was listed as included in the room facilities. Really didn’t like how this was handled as they purposely did not give us the remote for the air conditioning. In the end however we were allowed to use the air conditioning without charge but left an unpleasant experience. You have to pay 10 euro extra per hour for check in after 7pm as well which you can only pay in cash.

The host was really friendly and helpful. When asked, he immediately helped us out. We were able to rent kayaks for free. They also have bikes and a SUP available. The lake with a sand beach is directly in front of the BnB. There is a large outside sitting area, an inside pool and an elevator. Our room was spacious, had two windows, a portable fan and a hairdryer. There was a free breakfast with options for vegetarians.
Our room smelled musty, unfortunately the smell did not go away even though the windows were open 24/7 and we used the fan.

The view from the apartment was wonderful.
I had forgotten my jacket during the stay and therefore called again after the stay. The lady promised me to check and call back. But there was never a call back. Therefore, I asked several times by email and sms and never received an answer.
The water of the pool was cold and it was half covered with a wooden floor where breakfast was served.

The house has an interesting colorful style with exotic elements - I liked all these nuances. The breakfast was made with love and care. The views of the lake are just marvellous and you just need a couple of steps to reach the lake. It was also great to use the bicycles for exploring the area.

The view from the balcony in our room was just amazing overlooking Lake lugano.
The breakfast was great as well as the breakfast room with amazing attention to detail.
There is also a nice outside area.
If you are looking for a nice restaurant La trattoria del temp perso is lovely, great service and great food, five minutes walk along the lake from the hotel.
Although clean, the room was very basic and the beds were not comfortable.

A quaint B and B which is conveniently situated next to the beach, it has canoes and other water sports equipment available. lovely garden area for sunbathing and fabulous views, rooms were comfortable. manager Rashid was lovely and very helpful.
Owner of the property arrived on our last day, he was arrogant, rude and obnoxious, he treated Rashid in a shocking manner.
pool is very cold and I had difficulty getting out as the steps don’t have a rail on the outside of the pool.

A lovely place with a fantastic location directly at the lake side, with beautiful views (from front rooms). Pretty garden to relax or at the adjacent sand beach for a swim in the lake. Restaurants and town center at short stroll away. Junior Suites with lake front balcony are well worth the money.
Small back rooms towards the main road might be somewhat noisy.

We took the apartment as a family of 4. The location and view is lovely and as beautiful as on the fotos. The lake is directly in front of the door. You can borrow the hotel's cayak and SUP for free. There is a pool but it was a bit cold so that our kids preferred the lake. The apartment is also well equipped for cooking. The apartment itself is great!
- The breakfast was simple. Coffee our of thermos flask. Bread, cheese, two kinds of ham and boiled eggs.
- Extra cost for the air conditioning. 15 EUR / day if i remember correctly. And you will need it.
- A lot of mosquitos, especially in the garden. After 5 minutes in the hammock my sun had 20 stitches.
- We lost our apartment keys and the B&B behaved unprofessional. We needed to deposit an estimated sum in cash. Afterwards we were not able to reach them to clarify insurance. The telephone number on booking and on the hotel's website doesn't exist and there was no reaction to mails and booking messages. Furthermore, the receptionist entered our apartment one evening with his own keys (without knocking or anything) to clarify the issue. An uncomfortable (and actually illegal?) situation.

Very noisy location, no air conditioning and too hot to close the windows. Cluttered living spaces. We understand that this is an attempt to make the property look cute, but the owners went way over the top.
Breakfast was bad. We ended up going to the local pasticceria for something decent.

the details of the B&B are amazing. it is close to the lake and has a good view. the breakfast is fine.
the owners do not speak English very well but they are extremely friendly. big differences between the rooms and in the prices for the same room between the different weekends.

This is an extremely wonderful alternative to touristy places. The surroundings are magic. From 4AM to midnight I couldn’t stop gasping at the beauty and charm of the landscape. However, I’d suggest you book one of the corner rooms or on top. We booked the cheapest and regretted. But the garden provides a cool space for both work and leisure, BBQ (upon agreement with the host), sunbathing and meditation next to the fountain. There are kayaks and a SUP, bicycles to use any time. Hot shower, traditional local breakfast (prosciutto, cheese, boiled eggs, croissants, white bread, some cornflakes/yogurt/jam and coffee). Despite our very poor Italian, we managed to communicate with the host. Be aware that the property has Sri Lankan ambience and some smells can be unusual (they place some sachet into old wooden cabinets/cupboards that protect from insects). Many travel related books and maps. The entire place has a unique flavor ranting from how the ground floor is organized to the door handles. There is an absolutely gorgeous hike to the peak San Georgio right from the place (ca. 2 hours) that is worth every effort. We also highly recommend the local pizza place, Al Posto Guisto, where 4 Formaggi- and pizza with artichokes are to die for. After that, polish it with ice cream from Il Golosone. The embankment is good for both, short morning runs and lazy evening strolls.
Strong smell in the tiniest room where one window is directly on the highly loud road and the other is overlooking some construction litter in the part of the garden that is equipped for laundry purposes. We begged to change the room because I had to work but there was no desk or else to put the laptop on and too stuffy, and we were given a similar room on a different floor with an option to use the bathroom of our „old/booked“ room but at least it was a bit above the road. The view is not stunning as described above. We spent 20/24 hours outside.

The location was amazing. The property was situated right by the lake with a wonderful pathway that brings you to the main town. It also is right on a small beach! We had a beautiful lake view room with balcony. The man working there (I think his name was Angel?) was incredibly lovely.
I can imagine during busy periods it can be quite loud as noise travels through the rooms. Also the pool is heated by the sun so just something to keep in mind :)
