Our first visit to this hotel in July 2008 was wonderful, the second a dismal diappointment. While we did book the day before, we were not told that we would be given the only room that does not face the lake. The view is basically the unique feature of the hotel. The room was also not terribly well kept and... more

I am thinking back about our stay this summer for 4 nights at the Hotel Elvezia with great fondness. The location is out of a movie. Very quiet, but so close to the city, wonderful views of the lake and the mountains on the other side. We did some great hiking there, leaving from the hotel. The food at breakfast... more

This little hotel is a romantic and charming one. Simple and in one of the most beautiful places of Switzerland... You wake up seeing the lake and the bird's songs... You feel like home, there. I recommend it. Just one another thing: you must walk about 7 minutes to reach the hotel, because there is no street, but the way... more

What a nice surprise! We loved our stay thanks to this hotel in great part. Will come back! more

This was truly a wonderful spot. We were able to contact Rosi via email and she made the reservation process extremely simple. The views of the property were amazing - at all hours of the day. Room 1 sits right above the hotel kitchen, dining area and lake trail - we couldn't hear a thing! All rooms seem to have... more

This tiny hotel is situated right on Lake Lugano, on the footpath between the Castagnola suburb of Lugano and Gandria. The hotel cannot be accessed by car, but only by the level footpath from Via Cortiva in Castagnola, or by boat. The Lake Lugano ferry actually docks at the hotel several times a day, and travels on to the centre... more

We have stayed 4 nights in Lugano and in Elvezia. We loved the location, our room and the hosts. It is quite, a little place in heaven! They are very discreet and let us enjoy our privacy while being amazingly warm and friendly. Rosi's smile and laugh in the morning is missed by us and we will surely come back... more

We stayed at Elvezia Al Lago for 3 days. It has been a lovely holiday. The room (N.5) had view over the lake, was clean and quite (you can reach the hotel only by foot (10 min) or by boat) and well decorated (with frigo bar + TV). The interior of the hotel is very welcoming with replica paints of... more

Excellent accueil, hôtel bien situé, directement au bord du lac donc très calme. Pas d'accès avec une voiture, mais 600... more
