5.0 Okay

Pros: The staff was really sympathetic and helpful. Clean showers and toilets. Breakfast was nice.

Cons: The location is horrible. Pictures look great but it is ON THE MAIN ROAD! was really hot, no AC only very loud fans. When opening the windows it's really loud, even at night!! Really high price in comparison to location.

9.5 Excellent

Pros: very confortable place with a enjoyable familiar atmosphere. Very friendly owners and stuff, which helped us with all the extra wishes we had during the stay!! Great lake view from the room!!

8.3 Excellent

Pros: Very friendly staff. Great location and comfortable hotel by the lake with a beautiful view.

Cons: A bit close to the road and air conditioning directly to the balcony, what made it quite noisy.

10.0 Excellent

Pros: Well situated, great views, easy access to restaurants and ferry services around the lake, good parking, although on the road was user, and such a friendly welcome from the owners - would stay here again if at all possible

Cons: Nothing - it was all good

9.3 Excellent

Pros: amazing view to the lake, quiet, spacious room, share fridge with dedicated box, very friendly staff, good breakfast

7.0 Good

Pros: Clean and central position with nice balcony and view if lake Breakfast was nice Staff pleasant although would probably friendly if you were European

Cons: Maybe my fault for booking single room -It was really uncomfortably hot in the small room and no aircon The toilet was across the hall , although within two steps of the room it was really impractical for a single female

9.3 Excellent

Pros: Very clean - good shower and comfy beds. Free parking. I hadn’t appreciated this part of Switzerland has Swiss 3 pin sockets and not standard EU 2 pin. However they were able to provide an adaptor. Very nice couple who owned the place

10.0 Excellent

Pros: We loved our stay in Brissago, will definitely be coming back, hopefully a little longer next time. The hotel was homey, the owners are very kind, friendly and approachable, they had some great tips for restaurants and activities. The room was comfortable and we loved having a balcony to sit out on and enjoy the lake view in the evening. The breakfast was tasty and the coffee superb, overall a great way to start the day on the terrace.

2.5 Mediocre

Pros: Nothing, only leaving this terrible place. The property added fraudulent charges to our bill. They charged us for lunch packets which we never had. We only had breakfast which was part of our room rate. The administrators really do an injustice to this property and to Switzerland's tourism. They don't have handicapped facilities which they stated that they would provide. The manager told us to leave the restsurant during breakfast stating that the restaurant closes at 10 am in spite of the fact that there were 5 guests in the restaurant who the manager said were his personnel friends. We had to take and finish our breakfast in our room. The elevator is defective and needs to be serviced. It jerks uncontrollably when stopping and starting. This extremely painfully for my injured knee. I will report this property to Booking and the local authorities (embassy, tourist ministry, police, etc.) for fraudulent charges and credit card fraud.

Cons: It doesn't belong on the booking website and should be removed. This is my first experience in travelling throughout the world in which the hotel defrauded me and billed fraudulent charges to my credit card. I will contest these charges through my bank, but this is really the worst experience that I have ever had at any hotel or for that matter at any business.

9.5 Excellent

Pros: The owners Thomas & Danielle & staff were very helpful with local knowledge and suggestions for trips and were always very friendly. They speak at least German; Swiss; Italian & English languages

9.5 Excellent

Pros: The accommodation was excellent and Solomon and Helena were super hosts. Additionally, Solomon has a vast knowledge of natural remedies that was very handy. The breakfast was superb. We can certainly recommend Recidence Venus Garden to future guests!

7.0 Good

Pros: View from the room and dining area. Personalized breakfast, direct access of the garden

Cons: No kids highchairs, church bell ringing loudly starting 06:30 and then every 20min, not so family friendly as very many stairs around the property, including getting to the room, parking and dining area.

10.0 Excellent

Pros: The views from our room (Panorama) were stunning. We watched the sunrise each morning. It's a bit of a walk to town so helpful to have a car here but we enjoyed several strolls in the evening and morning. There are restaurants on the hillside you can walk to.

Bus connection to Locarno at least every hour. Close to Italian border with more possibilities and near Isole di Brissago and the Parco Botanico - well worth a visit.

The bed was very comfortable and the view amazing with a little balcony. Attention to detail was obvious in many ways throughout the hotel. The panoramic room on the top floor was breathtaking and set up for you to enjoy a very nice Scotch Whisky while admiring the views.

Cons: I understand this is winter in Ticino and that the hotel only operates as a BnB at this time but somehow this was not communicated at booking. We booked with the idea that we would have a 'Very Good Breakfast' when it was actually a limited continental breakfast. That said, what we had was very fresh and good.

Cons: Although it has view to the lake it’s not at the lake.

9.3 Excellent

Pros: The property as such was lovely including the parc and the terrace at the lake which is truly a gem. Breakfast was nice too but what really stood out was dinner at Galleria Arté al Lago, their Gourmet Restaurant. Food was incredible and service very professional. Thank you!

Cons: The staff didn’t always pay attention to details. I didn’t get the Ticino card at check in and actually had to ask for it twice again since they forgot about it again both times. Similar happened with an order during breakfast. These are little things, however for the price you pay I expect none of this to happen. We didn’t realize the Arté restaurant didn’t have a terrace so were a little disappointed. However, food and service were stunning as mentioned above. The lake terrace could do with drinks and snacks. A simple automatic vending machine would do. Maybe something for management to consider.
