A very noisy stay. Very difficult to sleep. No AC made the room almost unbearable. Dinner was good, the filet was pricey and very tough though. View was excellent. The lake was quite green with algae unfortunately in the swimming area. Overall a 2 out of 5 for the rating. The staff was kind.

Hotel with the most amazing view

The Lake view from our comfortable room was absolutely amazing. The Hotel had a calm ambience and staff were friendly. My husband enjoyed swimming in the lake but noted there was no life saving equipment around. Breakfast was ok but they ran out of things quickly. A suggestion would be to provide more basic information in the room. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would come back.

We stayed here for 3 nights and really enjoyed the location and hotel. The views from the room are absolutely stunning. The food for dinner was good, we didn’t like the menu and they made us something custom. A few things they could improve on - a smaller room key, coffee in the room, and a refrigerator in the room. The grounds are so pretty! Loved the pizza at the bar across the street.

Fantastic rooms on the water with wonderful food

Lovely comfortable room in old world charm for family of four but no air conditioning. Our own minifan worked well. Views from room of Lake Lugano were outstanding and sunset was magnificent. Their lakeside Italian restaurant and free breakfast was outstanding. Wish we could have stayed longer. Parked our car in their garage. Loved swimming off their private dock and lounging under the trees.

Charming hotel by the lake. Worth every cent!

Wonderful and charming hotel by the lake, with an amazing history. Our room had a private balcony with a view to the lake and courtyard. Breathtaking! Service was excellent. Breakfast was simple but good, but if you want a real cappuccino, you have to pay and order at the bar, which we didn’t mind. Otherwise you have the automatic machine next to the breakfast buffet which we didn’t like. There’s parking on the premises, however, be advised that it’s €15 per day. Worth it. The hotel is in Valsolda, a short drive from Lugano. Would definitely stay at Stella D’ Italia again.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
1.Stunning Views – The scenery is undeniably spectacular. Whether from your room or the restaurant terrace, the views are postcard-perfect — definitely the highlight of the stay. 2. Restaurant Staff with a One-Way Attitude – Hospitality seems to be a foreign concept here. The restaurant staff behave as if they’re doing you a grand favor just by acknowledging your existence. Don’t bother asking for anything off-script — their service runs strictly on a one-way track: from them to you, on their terms, at their pace, and with minimal enthusiasm. Smiles? Not included. 3.No Room Amenities – The rooms are clean but stripped of comfort. No toiletries, no complimentary water, no kettle — just four walls and a bed. Think minimalist, but not in a trendy way.
