We have stayed for 2 nights at Principe Leopoldo for the second time. The first time was in summer some years ago. All in all, the hotel and the location is quite nice, however ca. 10 min drive from Lugano centre, but the hotel offers shuttle service in case you have no car with you. The hotel - although partly... More

The villa itself is beautiful and the room - we had a junior suite in the villa itself which was absolutely gorgeous with a good lake view. In terms of atmosphere the villa really delivered. The room was absolutely beautiful with good standard of furnishings. We felt the staff didn't make any special effort to accommodate your needs unless you... More

Wonderful location! Also very close to Italy. Great restaurant with amazing view on the lake and the food is excellent, they are very nice to children. Good service overall, people are very nice. Rooms are big and the 2 pools are great. No view in Residence, so you need to go to the Villa restaurant to enjoy the beautiful view. More

The "Residence" was such a disappointment after seeing pictures and checking in at the beautiful" Villa". Had 2 rooms: one Jr. Suite (Room 222) was large enough, but very poorly and confusingly furnished, really very ugly. The living room and bedroom had very high ceilings with plain white walls, no art to speak of, damask-covered furniture completely lacking in style... More

We booked a room at this hotel for a nice weekend break away. When we arrived and wanted to check in we were told that our rooms are not located in that lovely building that one can see on the website but at the "Residence" which is a totally different building about 200m away from the main place. Instead of... More

The Leopoldo is total luxary- set high on a mountain overlooking Lake Lugano-because it is so close to Italy and Lake Como it is the perfect combo of sheer beauty and luxury. The setting/pool/rooms/ and location are just manificent. Lugano lake region is gorgeous- and there are fabulous restaurants and things to see nearby- IF you even want to leave... More

I stayed at the Residence for a long weekend on business, and I was somewhat let down. I found the decor to be tacky and although the room was spacious it was like a studio style rather than separate rooms. There was a bowl of fruit with some water bottles, no room service other than pizza delivery from a local... More

For Winter Holiday I had chosen Lugano as a destination, having been at Villa Principe Leopoldo before because of their restaurant, I was very curious to find out if their hospitality was as good as their food. ARRIVAL: the arrival was fine, check in easy and I was surprised by a kind upgrade, that took me to a corner suíte... More

I took my wife on a brake for a day/night, flew to Milano & drove to this Hotel which looked great on the web. Location is really superb high above the lake. The rest is rather poor: service attitude marginal i.e. we wanted chairs & a table to be moved into the sun but the waiter told us that his... More
