    Pros +

    • the location and views were amazing. the room was clean and nice shower
    • From the moment we arrived, we felt warmly welcomed. One of the owners, the lovely “Sweet Fabiola,” was there to greet us personally at 11 PM. She gave us a quick tour of the property and even helped us carry our bags to the room — a rare and thoughtful gesture.The next morning, I woke up to a full itinerary sent via WhatsApp, filled with recommendations for activities on the lake and in the mountains. The same level of care and attention was given again for Day 2 — a truly personalized experience.The location is simply breathtaking. Just a 3KM walk uphill from the property takes you into one of the most peaceful forest trails imaginable, with rivers, a waterfall, and a little pond that feels straight out of a fairytale. Don’t miss it!
    • The views are amazing and the hospitality cannot be matched. Also very well equiped and super clean rooms.I cannot think of a better place for relaxed family or couple vacation. We will definitely be back. :D don't forget to bring your swimming suits ?

    Cons -

    • The Jacuzzi was cold, freezing cold. I also expected more from the breakfast.
    • The quality of the bedding, the fact that there were no fans in the rooms. Having said that Patrick managed to get a standing unit the very next morning, but visiting during a heat wave didn’t help.
    • For late arrivals, please notify the hotel staff

    The hotel is located on a mountain in Cademario, a 35-minute bus ride from Lugano. From there, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Lugano city center and the lake. The hotel provides a transportation pass for convenient travel to and from the city center.

    9PatrickPosted on: 6-15-2024

    Lovely hotel run by a family with amazing views on lake Lugano. Beautiful setting and lovely swimming pool.Possible to have breakfast outside or inside both with amazing views. Very nice friendly owners who gave us nice tips to explore the surroundings. About 15-20 min drive from Lugano.

    9ArmandsPosted on: 10-31-2023

    A fabulous view that you can enjoy on the large terrace of the room. We recommend.

    For late arrivals, please notify the hotel staff

    10MartaPosted on: 10-22-2023

    The location vas so good, the bed, the view was fantastik and the personal vas amazing. Next year I will be back to the same place. Thank you!!!!

    9Mandy_b*Posted on: 9-13-2023

    Very friendly owners who went an extra mile in their service. Moreover the view is just amazing!

    The furniture was bit outdated, but it didn't really bother us (it was clean).

    10jimmyPosted on: 9-13-2023

    The view is amazing along with an amazing staff. Also, there was free public transportation to and from the hotel to visit the city.

    Although the hotel is in the mountain, the room was warm & it could use a fan for those warm days

    9LeonPosted on: 8-20-2023

    The truly friendly staff and of course the beautiful view on lake Lugano.

    Airconditioning would be nice.

    9ATHARPosted on: 8-4-2023

    located on the top of the mountain Ms Fabiola took really good care of our family and went extra mile from guiding us for further onward trip, preparing dinner even after the Resturant close time , arranging tickets and ensuring we were comfortable in all the ways .She is an exceptional host ?

    10SweeneyPosted on: 7-22-2023

    Love the view, amenities, and staff.

    Beds a little firm.

    10mohamadPosted on: 6-26-2023

    The location is beautiful, there is a bus stop right in front of the hotel that takes you to and back from the city center. I have to say Fabiola and her husband Patrick (owners) made me feel right at home, they’re very hospitable, friendly, caring and Patrick makes one hell of a good pasta. Would definitely come back again!

    location and the view

    the pool was very cold

    9TomaszPosted on: 4-13-2023

    The view, personell and hotel itself is very nice even out of season. If You like to have silence and want to have a walk there is a lot of small routs through forest with great view, but not for family with baby cart. Dinner was tasty and atmosphere is like at home. Very kind people there.

    Unfortunately swimming pool was to cold to use it with children.

    8BrunoPosted on: 8-13-2022

    Nice Albhergo with restaurantVery nice view over Lugano

    You must have a car to get therePlaced in a small village on the mountain side

    8JoãoPosted on: 7-23-2022

    Very good view and breakfast, staff are really nice!

    10VeronikaPosted on: 7-6-2022

    Beautiful locality, wonderful lake view from all rooms. Really nice people, good kitchen. The swimming pool and whirlpool is available nonstop. Useful recommendations for next travel.

    9AlexanderPosted on: 6-11-2022

    I arrived with my motorbike and was able to park it in the garage. Even though I arrived a bit late, I could still order a warm meal. The view from the balcony is phenomenal and you get a free bus pass.

    On the second day I was a bit too late for supper because I wasn't aware of the opening times for the kitchen. Maybe I just didn't see it. They made me a toast nonetheless, so thank you anyway. :)

    10BrittaPosted on: 6-2-2022

    This is one of our favorite places! We come every year to spend a few days at this hotel. We really feel at home at Al Ponte. The views are breathtaking, the rooms are very spacious and comfortable and the owners and their staff are wonderful, friendly and down to earth people. We will be back.
