Stayed for one week and enjoyed every minute of it. This beautiful property has everything you need to make your stay comfortable and effortless. The breakfast is one of the best I had in my travels , suitable for everyone! Location is a short drive to the lake and we surrounding attractions.
Highly recommend!!!
We were in Lugano for just one night for my partners birthday and wish we could’ve stayed longer. The staff were very kind and upgraded our room for the birthday celebration! We also were able to arrange a free shuttle to the train station when we left.
Beautiful view from the room and other areas in the hotel. We didn’t get a chance to use them, but the wellness amenities seemed great as well. Would stay again!
The staff were very welcoming, friendly, and the food and service was great. Good location, and the view from the hotel was beautiful. Would definitely stay again!
Despite the rain, we had a fantastic two-night stay at Hotel Sassa. The service was excellent, the views were stunning even in bad weather, and the spa was a perfect escape. The breakfast was super. A great spot for a relaxing couples’ getaway.
Modest lodging experience. Over promised and underdelivered on service and accommodations. Pics were misleading, mainly appearing to be on the waterfront. I should have examined further. Courtesy transportation delivered a great customer experience.

The view from this hotel was amazing. The breakfast was excellent. However the room needs significant improvement. We had the premium suite lake view and it was missing furniture and mold was growing on the balcony. The kitchen was a nice touch but it was totally empty. No dishes or cutlery Thankfully, we didn’t spend much time in the room.
A very comfortable and quiet location with a beautiful view of lake Lugano. Close to the train station and a bus stop. Great variety of food at breakfast and very friendly staff.
Absolutely loved every moment spent at Villa Sassa. The food options were phenomenal. The staff was friendly, responsive and organized. Everything was clean and the amenities were lovely. Our accommodations were perfect and the views were breath-taking. We will be back.
Our stay at Villa Sassa was good. The room was large, but seemed empty. Full kitchen but nothing to cook with or eat on. Friendliness of staff was hit and miss - the front desk Staff was great. Found it very odd that they shut down the pool to guests for “aqua fit” classes for two people - spa staff chased us down to let us know we couldn’t use the pool until those people were done their work out. Hot tub was more of a warm tub - needed to be much hotter. Sauna facilities were great.
Peaceful Getaway with Stunning Views and Relaxatio
We had a wonderful experience – this hotel offers a luxurious and relaxing stay with excellent spa facilities, a beautiful outdoor pool overlooking the lake, a great jacuzzi, and a spacious gym. The hotel was not crowded, which added to the peaceful atmosphere. It truly has everything you need for a quiet, rejuvenating vacation. The only downsides were the food, which was just average for a 4-star hotel, and the overpriced bistro – better to dine in town. Still, breakfast was good, and overall, this place has the potential to become our regular summer getaway.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We found the suite to be spacious and very clean, with a breathtaking view. However, there were a few things we didn’t like as much: the extra bed was quite basic and uncomfortable for our child. The bedside lamps in the bedroom looked rather worn out, which didn’t really match the overall style of the hotel. Also, the kitchen had no equipment at all — it would have been nice to have at least some plates and cutlery. Especially when traveling with children, it’s practical to have a few essentials available for a quick snack in between meals.
For me, the biggest reason why you come to Villa Sassa is the majestic view or the surrounding areas. It's a scene out of a movie. Beautiful with a lake view. The only thing that could be better is having more kid friendly food options and a major paint job of the buildings, as it looks outdated and takes away from the aesthetic view of the property.
