We had high hopes for our stay at this apartment in Lugano. Yes it has the lovely advertised view but it has a number of shortcomings that were difficult to reconcile with the nightly rate. Firstly the parking is terrible. The parking space is only 2.1m wide and only the narrowest of cars will fit, such as a Fiat 500. Our Peugeot 308 had 4cm clearance on either side and no way to open any doors. The alternative car park is restricted to 2 hours on Mon - Sat and was full when we found it. It is reached by a long staircase of 70 steps at the back of the building to another road. Secondly the apartment faces south and gets full sun. When we were there the temperatures were in the low 30's and the apartment was like an oven. There is no air conditioning and sleep was very difficult. The fridge and freezer was all iced up with some 3cm of ice covering the cooling plate making for quite a warm temperature inside. There are no condiments such as salt or pepper and we were only given one dishwasher tablet. Such penny pinching on an expensive apartment. So in summary a lovely view but if it's summer and you have a car I would suggest you look elsewhere.

We loved the apartment. The kids room was great. The size, decor, and amenities of the apartment were great. We liked the location and garage parking. The view of from the balconies was as beautiful as the pictures.
