Right on the lake, the hotel is well located and the staff were certainly very friendly and helpful. Our room however could have used a little renovation, particularly the shower. It was perfectly clean but at 115 euros a night for a double, I expect more. more

Hotel Europa is a small family-run hotel. We have stayed twice and will return again. Family Meoli and their staff are always friendly and helpful. When we needed help to purchase tickets for a concert in nearby Lugano, Pablo, our host, made the phone call and arranged for tickets to be picked up at the concert hall. We thought the... more

We are a mid-sixties couple. Europa is an un-pretentious, clean, comfortable, family-run hotel in an enviable position on the lake shore. Pablo and his family and staff work very hard together and were always polite, helpful and happy. Our hol was half-board and the set meal was perfectly adequate and well-prepared. Alternative menu was available. Good wine list and bar.... more

There are not many hotels in Porlezza. The rooms are clean and comfortabe. The bed was a bit on the firm side but that's my preference anyway.... more

Because the weather on the border of France and Switzerland was awful during the summer vacation weeks we were planning to spent at home, we decided to escape for a couple of days to tank some sun. Since there wasn't much free hotel room available around lake Lugano that was also price worthy we were more or less glad to... more

Vooral de Familie Meoli, die dit hotel runnen, en haar vriendelijke medewerkers hebben ons vakantie verblijf tot een waar genoegen... more
