"Really enjoyed our stay, the staff were lovely and nothing was too much trouble for them. The rooms were amazing with a wonderful view and a very comfortable bed.
Getting the bus was no problem stopped right outside the hotel, there was also a courtesy bus into Luganda where you can get a boat around the lake stopping at villages on route.
I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel."

Everything worked well from the ease of checking in to the upgraded room overlooking the lake to the excellent, responsive staff. The visit was a delight from start to finish. Of particular note were the arrangements for breakfast and the extreme helpfulness and resourcefulness of the members of the concierge team. Can't speak highly enough of them.

We loved staying in this hotel with its unique history and beautiful decor. It is a special place in a wonderful location and we had fabulous views from our balcony. The walk to Morcote took under 30 minutes with lovely views but you need to wear trainers as the path is uneven. We also enjoyed walking to the castle through the vineyards and exploring lake Lugano by bus and boat. We tended to get Uber taxi’s back up to to hotel as it was a steep climb ( cost 18CHF)

I’m sure the town is lovely in the high season but everywhere was closed during our stay. The hotel were very friendly and accommodating. The communication was excellent

Very friendly staff at this perfectly situated hotel in a lovely lakeside town with lots to do - swimming in the gorge of Santa Ana a particular highlight.

We had a lovely stay here and had the buffet breakfast in the morning, extremely central and only a 10 minute walk from the port and the train station. Felt like a very cosy and safe place, even had some board games available which we played

We have just returned from a week at the Antico Verbana apartments and can thoroughy recommend them. The staff on reception are pleasant and respond to your requests quickly. We arrived at 7pm in the evening so as information on the website says there were no staff on duty, but the envelope with our keys to the apartment were on the reception desk waiting for us.
As other guests have said, there is a restaurant which is very good but this is not always available due to private functions. ...

The food was amazing! Definitely the right choice to stay half board and have the set menu each night. Gorgeous view of the Lake, lovely walk to the next village for lunch through beautiful paths, very relaxing place with Swimming pool. Rooms very romantic, with their own balcony.

We stayed in the penthouse suite which i think must sleep 5 or 6 (it had 3 bedrooms).
The hotel sits on the edge of Lake Maggiore and from the “balcony” of the suite the views were amazing. The hotel is only a couple of minutes walk from the train station.
We were there for the moon & stars festival and the hotel is right at the end of the food street but we weren’t disturbed at all when we went to sleep. Nice powerful shower, kitchen with full sized fridge.
