The historic Villa Principe Leopoldo overlooks and dominates the city and the lake of Lugano from the top of the fabulous “Golden Hill” The Villa is princely and magnificent and rightly so, since it was built towards the end of the 19th Century by a member of the Hohenzollern family. The lovely facade of the two-storey building rounds out slightly into two side wings with large windows. The tiled sloping roof is dotted with many chimneys. All around there is an explosion of greenery, lawns, trees, bushes and flowers. Entering the luminous Hall, a stunning view of the lake that can be seen sparkling on the other side of the great window is sure to leave the visitor breathless.This hotel comes highly recommended and is perfect for anyone wanting to relax in style and luxury. This is one of the finest hotels in Switzerland, where one can sample typical Swiss hospitality with a mediterranean flavour.Its 37 Suites are located below the main terrace and most of them enjoy a unique view over the surrounding mountains and the Lugano bay.

The Principe Leopoldo Restaurant, located at the main Villa, is an award winning restaurant including a terrace when the weather is fine to allow outside dining with fantastic view of the surrounding areas. This gourmet temple is extremely popular so it is important for clients to book in advance, so not to be disappointed.
