Once checking in, we were able to schedule massages for the same day through the DOT spa. The spa and services were lovely, very modern and they really perfected their branding across the board. The other parts of the spa were great, with two different pools. They were warm but I wish there was a warmer option or hot tub. The spa did not allow clothing for the sauna and steam rooms but most people didn't adhere to this. I wish there was a non co-ed option due to no clothing being allowed. In our room, we received robes and a bag for towels which was nice. Our room was also decorated with rose petals which was lovely as we indicated when reserving it was our anniversary trip. For food options, we did purchase the breakfast buffet which was excellent. We also opted to get this delivered for room service the last morning which was 10 francs. We put in a few special requests here but some were missed. Additional dining is limited and their restaurant was pretty expensive, even the bar food was as well (41 francs for a burger with fries). Because you are at the top of a mountain, you don't have much choice but the food was pretty good - it was just more "fine dining" and portions weren't huge. We did the candle light dinner experience the second night and this was a good value. Also, wine options were plenty and we were allowed to sample before committing to a bottle which was nice. Drinks overall were expensive The views overall are what made this place. The view from the main pool connected to the spa was amazing, however, there was a crane there which took a way from it a bit. There is a second pool higher up with a nice view of the entire hotel. Service was good overall as well. There was an intern at the front desk who was very helpful and provided great customer service. I give this place 4 stars because there were small details missed such as not following the breakfast requests and the chairs on the balcony were mismatched (I think a 5 star would have not done these things). Overall, I recommend this spot for a relaxing vacation to really do nothing, but if you're looking to explore Lugano, it is harder to access.

I can not tell you about the rooms, we have not stayed there, being our house is just a few minutes away. But I can tell you the view of Lago d Lugano is stunning. Also the food is impeccable. And everyone is so nice there. The server we had last night appeared to pretend that she did not speak much English....she does. Maybe she does not prefer Americans...who does these days. But she warmed up to us in short time. If you are visiting Tesserete for some odd reason....go visit the Locanda and relax.

The artistic atmosphere with the friendly owners and their pets brings out the best from any holiday. The terrace has a magnificent view to the lake which is only 5 minutes by walk and the garden with enormous trees is the best place for a breakfast or just to have a nap or read a book. We will definitely come back!!

The breakfast included with the room was fresh and filling. Inn keepers will custom-make a coffee for you. My only complaint was road noise, as my room overlooked the Main Street along the lake...although that died down by 11pm.

They did hold our bags for us while we went out for the day after we checked out, and were pretty accommodating. We did get a really good rate because they were doing construction in the courtyard. It didn't really matter, they didn't make much noise and there wasn't much of a view anyway. It is located a short walk from the city center, and maybe a 15 minute walk from the train station. Beware, you're going up a long steep hill to get back to the station. Prepare to be uncomfortable (sweaty). One thing that was annoying, I came to the lobby to make a phone call. I went in an open conference room adjacent to the lobby, but was kicked out by the receptionist, told I had to reserve the room. Later that afternoon, there was another man in the room, making a phone call! I'm guessing he didn't schedule it, so it was kind of annoying being asked to leave. Consistency is key.

From roses in the room, to a tailored candle light five course dinner paired with wine, this hotel is super cute and magical.
