Room is simple but so clean. Although the room no:9 doesn’t have balcony there are two windows and view is nice.The bed is comfortable, especially for us the pillows are very comfortable. Bus stop is in front of the hotel and very easy to go railway station and Lugano center. If you come with train, there is bus stop above the station. You can take bus no.4 direction Canobbio / Comano , at the fourth stop Via Tesserete you can get off and arrive hotel. Normal breakfast with homemade jam which is delicious. The lady who owns hotel is very desirable and speaks english, deutsch.

The traditional way of check in and services. The owner was very nice. Helped me get a free ticket of Ticino canton. The villa and garden is amazing, with very rich variety of fruits.

The location was great - one can easily walk to the Lugano city center and the lake (5 to 10min comfortable walking), there is a bus stop directly in front of the hotel. The line takes you to the central station or the railway station or the lake in no time - public transportation is for free for tourists (in hotels). The most amazing was the restaurant - my husband and I have been travelling many times to Ticcino and Lugano and we are familiar with the cuisine and food. The small restaurant had by far the best food (and affordable by Swiss standards) we have ever had in Lugano. Genuine Ticcino food. All is absolutely fresh and much of the salads and fruits stem from their own garden. The staff (and the owner) are fullblood hospitality people who have been most kind and helpful. The hotel is simple, but rooms are modern and newly rennovated (with good taste). There is a wonderful garden and a swimming pool of about 15metres - very nice place to spend some calm time.

Villa selva is a real oasis a little piece of paradise in the city. Ten minutes walk or short bus ride from the station and town. You walk into beautiful gardens with a lovely pool that I made use of every day. The owner and staff are very friendly helpful and kind this means a lot when you travel alone. The food in the restaurant is fantastic I advise booking. My room was bright clean and comfortable with a lovely view over the garden and pool looking to the lake and mountains. The location is ideal for relaxing after a long day sightseeing and the bus stops right outside there is also off street parking if you need it. I had a fantastic few days here and would definitely recommend it.

Our room for 3 adults a little too small . Swimming pool closed at 18 h: too early.

The lady is quite nice and gave us good advices. A real pro. The food is exceptional, original, fine, fresh, good quality . Slow food we loved it. The access lane and all garden full of flowers, so romantic. Also the terrace to dine .

Every detail was taken care off, very well managed and full of positive surprises. The place is quaint, has a wonderful ambience, lovely garden, swimming pool. Our room had partial view to the lake.

A cute little hotel with warm atmosphere. It felt like I was in my grand mother's house. The owner is always present and takes care of her clients. It has a cute garden with a swimming pool, we were ther in april, it wasnt opened yet. there is a restaurant in the ground floor that serves homemade meals prepared by the owner herself. the room is very basic, just a bed, an old wardrobe, a small table and a chair, but we didnt need more. The bathroom was clean and had towels, hairdryer, soap and shampoo. our room was on the corner, so we had a view to the lake and the swimming pool, and from the other window we had a view to the beautiful alley leading to the garden and restaurant. There is no lift, so you have to carry your luggage, but it is only 2 levels. It is not in the historic center, but a bus stop just in front of the hotel will take you there in around 10 minutes.

Uphill walk from the train station but okay once you get the Ticino pass for free bus transport

Very quiet and clean with an excellent breakfast with homemade jams

As it was very hot during our stay, we would have liked air conditioning in our room. Also perhaps some more choice for breakfast, fresh fruit and yoghurt perhaps.

Beautiful garden and pool, room very clean and comfortable. Breakfast good.
