Mel Holidays from £287

We had read a few reviews on hotel Mec and where a little apprehensive but we neednt have worried. Lovely clean room, small bathroom but all we needed. Ample food for breakfast and comfy bed. Thats all i need. Transport on the doorstep made this a great choice for us and a couple of great restaurants very close by

Bien situé et buffet pour le déjeuner très varie

I almost don’t want to tell anyone about this place, but then the team work so hard, they deserve to be busy! I can’t recommend this place highly enough. From the moment we stepped into reception, we were treated like VIPs, the staff are without exception, incredible. Warm, friendly, professional- every part of the experience feels five star. The family spa is beautiful, the grounds are stunning, the views breathtaking, and the food and drink amazing. We loved waking up to the spectacular views, getting the most gorgeous breakfast and then wandering around the botanical gardens, seeing the donkeys and exploring. A day trip to Lugano is a must, as is Menaggio with the ferry over to Bellagio. Tremezzo and Gandria are also good trips. The hotel was really peaceful when we were there in early May, we didn’t use the outdoor pool as the weather was a bit changeable, but it’s such a great base from which to explore. It’s in a fairly remote spot, so you can’t really walk out of the hotel to other places but Lugano and Porlezza are both a short drive away and the restaurants onsite are great. Word of warning, if you fly in to malpensa airport and drive to the hotel, take the route through Switzerland and Lugano, not the east side of the lake. The roads are pretty treacherous, mountain side and winding and the Italians drive a bit crazy! We will be back to the PSM, we just loved it.

Clean and modern room and bathroom. Outstanding panoramic view of Milan overlooking Duomo that is only half a mile away. Same view during breakfast or dinner. Highly recommended.

The directions to get to the hotel are not very well written. You have to get on one vaparetto and then switch at some point. The rooms are nice and clean. The room we stayed in had mold issues in the bathroom and shower. The shower is so tiny!!!! The beds are very firm and you are only given 1 pretty flat pillow, more were given upon asking. The A/C was a joke. The window open was best, but bring bug spray. Overall it is a nice hotel, but it’s an older building with quirks.
