Our story

From summer villa to lakeside hotel

The villa was built in the 1920s as a summer house for a family from Milan, who came over the border by boat. They named it after the lake steamer that used to carry them up from Como.

Today it is a hotel of 32 rooms. We kept the pier, the camellias and the long terrace, added a spa and an indoor pool, and turned the old boathouse level into the Casinò Acqua.

  • 32 rooms and suites
  • Private pier on the lake
  • Casino on site, 18+

What guests come back for

The lake, from every floor

Two thirds of our rooms face the water, and the terrace, restaurant and casino bar all look out over it.

A casino without the crowds

A handful of tables, good croupiers and a bar that stays calm, open to guests and visitors aged 18+.

Ticino on the doorstep

Lugano is fifteen minutes away by boat, and the hiking trails of Monte San Giorgio start behind the villa.

Below the lobby, behind a wall of glass facing the lake, the Casinò Acqua opens every evening at seven. It is a land-based casino with slot machines, roulette, blackjack, baccarat and a poker room, open to hotel guests and visitors aged 18 and over with valid photo ID.
