The staff were really nice and friendly. The garden was open to guests even after 5 pm which was a great experience.
The restaurant was very slow in serving the food. The quality of food was nice but it took one our to get the food.

Villa Emden was absolutely amazing. Such a peaceful hotel on a beautiful tiny island in the middle of a Swiss lake. You really have the feeling you have the whole island to yourself.
There was nothing we didn't like. It was truly amazing. We might just point out that the breakfast staff may wish to coordinate to make sure they cover the guests by language.

The location is breathtaking and awesome. One of the best places I ever stayed in my live. The food at the restaurant was exceptional and the staff outstanding friendly!
5.0
An absolute secret. The most exclusive private place at an most average rate on this beautiful island 10’ from Ascona by taxi or public boat. Beautiful interior design with attention to every little detail in this most historic building. Lovely beach towels and color assorted umbrellas, in case it would rain. Exquisite assortiment of high class teas in addition to the standard nespresso in the room. An outstanding restaurant with most attentive, personalized service with prime quality delicious food, just for the hotel guests. You feel like a queen. Bravo to the team. Just hope it stays a secret.

The location is very romantic and easy to reach by boat from Ascona or Locarno. We enjoyed the dinner and breakfast at the hotel, interesting combination of the ingredients and very nice presentation. The staff is nice and helpful.
The room was a bit small
5.0
Very nice location on a paradise island. Small hotel with a good restaurant and breakfast. The room was very nice with breathtaking views. In total the atmosphere was lovely, also in the evening and at night. Also possibility to swim in the lake.
Even though the dinner was delicious the service at the restaurant was quite slow and not as friendly as we expected.

Unique location and atmosphere
5.0
A wonderful serene villa with so much charm and elegance amidst a botanical garden and surrounded by water on the island - absolutely heavenly
4.5
If you are looking for a short/weekend stay, you cannot do better than the Brissago islands-and this hotel. Hosted on a small island, as part of the botanical garden, the hotel is an old villa with only a bunch of charming, well-designed rooms. Restaurant is pretty amazing, and breakfast-really worth your while. Very, very friendly, helpful staff speaks a number of languages.
Nothing I could point my finger to, honestly.
4.5
Amazing place, unique experience. The staff is very friendly. Wine selection from the region was nice and with a good price.
Breakfast could have more menu options and freshly prepared items like fresh juices, fruit salad, pastries.
The tasting menu we had for dinner was a bit too creative, complicated...very beautiful dishes but too many flavors together.
4.5
Location, dinner, garden was great. Can recommend for a weekend stay. They have a small steamer for clothes in the room!
In the room is was cold (heating was up). Water in the bathroom shower was staying on the floor while showering (something wasn’t letting the water through).
5.0
Beautiful and special location on the island. The food was outstanding, and excellent, friendly and attentive service. The island can get busy with day visitors, but the exclusive use tarrace areas for hotel guests was very welcome. Rooms were simple but stylish and very comfortable.
