Mediterranean Charm

Hotel Villa Carona

Just ten minutes from Lugano, Hotel Villa Carona offers magnificent views of Monte Generoso. This historic patrician house is nestled in an artists' village, exuding Ticinese charm and plenty of Dolce Farniente amidst palms and blooming plants.

Villa Carona's two-part garden radiates tranquility yet appeals to all senses. The plants are chosen so that something is always in bloom throughout the year. Tulip trees, climbing roses, camellias, and the over 100-year-old wisteria smell wonderful and glow in the most magnificent colors. The best way to immerse yourself in this vibrant, glowing natural atmosphere is on a garden lounger.

‍

Carona is an artists' village – and rightly so, as the incredible panoramic views over the Ticino mountains and the tranquility are a source of inspiration and creativity. The poet and painter Hermann Hesse, a frequent guest here, already knew this.

‍

This feeling of sweet idleness, combined with beautiful nature and a Mediterranean ambiance, makes Hotel Villa Carona the perfect place for days of unwinding and dreaming – made even easier in the hotel pool or the open-air hot tub.
