Distance from Lugano Uncomfortable bed & pillows Lack of toiletries

View Bathroom Terrace

Stayed in June 2025

There are no coffee cafes within a short walk. However there are a couple restaurants.

The apartment and setting is pure paradise. It's so peaceful and calm. The living room and bedroom are comfortable and have fantastic views of the lake and mountains. The bathroom is spacious and the kitchen/ dining area has everything guests need to prepare wonderful meals. There is a great grocery store about 25 minutes by foot or a short bus ride. The bus can also get guests to the train station and to Lugano's beautiful city center. This was our second stay and we hope to return for future stays.

I would have appreciated more crockery for roasting/cooking things in the oven- we were self catering.

Gorgeous apartment, modern, clean, spacious, comfortable and private. Wonderfully comfy bed with great views of the lake from the bed! Fabulous bathroom- best shower in a month of travelling. Generous and responsive host. Kettle lid was broken- new one supplied within hours- Thank you. Great location- went swimming in the lake from the steps of an art gallery on the small road just below the apartment- bliss. Local bus service made travel into Lugano easy- but also walkable- 20 mins to the east side of the city, 40 mins into the centre. Great local Migros supermarket ( the one in the centre is bigger and better for our needs)- great fish and meat counters in addition to fruity/veg/bread. Great washing and drying facilities which was great for us as we were travelling for a month. Gorgeous spacious patio with views of the lake.

The bed could have been a little more comfortable as well as the bedding

The setting is idyllic! The apartment is large, nicely furnished and has a wonderful kitchen and bath with lots of storage. Additionally there is a lovely patio with an amazing view. There is a wonderful grocery store within a 20 minute walk. The host was extremely helpful in providing all necessary information for a pleasant stay.

The location is not far from the centre of Lugano. The view from the appartment across the lake is spectacular. The kitchen offers everything you need. Lovely sitting area. We certainly come back again. What a lovely place

It is a tiny apartment with private patio and parking and a great view to the lake. You get instructions on the phone from the owner who is aldo nice.

The location was beautiful. The owners are wonderful. A lovely walk from the villa to Gandria as well as to the heart of Lugano by the lakeside. Not far walking distance to the Monte Brè funiculaire. I highly recommend Giardino Violetta

Villa Giardino is in a beautiful location with amazing views. The property, both inside and out was immaculately clean on arrival. The kitchen was well equipped, the bathroom is spacious and very well set out. The bed and lounge are comfortable. There was no noise whilst we were there, sitting at the bistro set on the patio, overlooking Lake Lugano, all I heard was wildlife and the occasional car in the distance. When you look at the outside space in the photographs, the whole space is private to Villa Giardino, a real bonus. The host's contact was perfect, from the point of reserving the villa, right up to the day before checkout. Not too much contact, but all the information required was made available and the reassurance that if there was anything I required I could contact him, on the occasions I did make contact prior to the rental, my questions were answered without delay. I will definatly be returning, and would like to assure anyone reading this review, that you will not find a better rental property in this location that offers this much value for money.

Bernhard doesn't live here ,so information regarding wifi password , garbage disposal etc should be available in writing and pinned up for easy access.

My husband and I spent 2 weeks in December 22 This beautiful place felt like a home away from home. Bernhard was an amazing host. Luckily for us he and his wife Olga were also on vacation so we had the pleasure of meeting them. Normally we would not have stayed in a 'Studio' but this is not your typical studio. The apartment is very spacious and the bathroom is huge and well designed with ample closet space which came in handy because of our long stay. The laundry area is separate with a washing machine and a dryer. The kitchen is adequately equipped and we did cook some simple meals during our stay. The sofas are comfortable and the furniture , fixtures of good quality. The view of the lake is a real bonus. Despite the chilly weather we did spend some lovely time in the garden We had read the reviews and the only negative comments were about the mattresses. I wrote to Bernhard and he changed them well before we arrived as promised. The beds are now very comfortable and ideal for a good nights sleep. We can vouch for that :) The apartment is in a quiet upscale neighborhood with dedicated parking. A 20 minute walk takes you to the town center cafes,restaurants and supermarkets. We had rented a car so were able to explore a lot of lovely places nearby. Bernhard's suggestions were helpful and so were the booklets available in the apartment Would love to visit Lugano again in the summer and most definitely stay here

layout of the flat and definitely the garden with THE view

Stayed in October 2022

no drinks or even water in the refrigerator (completely empty), the view was not open en the location required all things to be done by car. access very small road. for this kind of monet=y we would expect a better view and better services available, there was nothing in the kitchen on drinks or what ever, no sugar for 6 coffee capsules. for this money a first call hotel at the lake (not small lake view). anyway we enjoyed going by car to the city of Lugano Como etc...

the space was large but not nicely decorated .

2 comfortable bed pillows would have been nice and also some bathroom amenities would have been appreciated
