Top Cassarate Hotel Reviews

Hotel Funicolare

8/10 Good

"The stay was amazing, staff were very kind and approachable. The only thing I can say is breakfast wasn't included and with the hotel being secluded we didn't have an option to have breakfast elsewhere, and the hotel didn't have a variety to choose from. Everything else was amazing fantastic views."

Hotel Admiral

10/10 Excellent

"The staff at this hotel were excellent. Having two pools was a bonus as you could use the indoor pool when the outdoor pool was busy. The absence of a bar was a slight disappointment and the rooms were small even by European norms. Dated TVs meant no connectivity of maps.... but who goes on holiday to watch TV? Breakfast was very good too. The location (approx. 200m from Paradiso train station) made things very easy Tip: the number 2 bus will take you from the hotel (stop next to the supermarket) up the hill to the station, else it is a steep trek with luggage. The hotel is also alongside the funicular for Monte San Salvatore Watching the sunset from 900m+ is awesome (and you can buy a beer up there too!) And as with nearly every other hotel in the area, you get a Ticino Ticket that gives you free public transport (except for the ferries) in the Ticino region. We had such a great time we stayed an extra night. Our thanks to the staff at Hotel Admiral."

Grand Hotel Menaggio

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is amazing! The views are spectacular! The restaurant was the nicest restaurant in all of Italy that we went to and we went to a lot! They’re wonderful front desk staff and the fine dining room were the friendliest nicest most professional I’ve ever encountered❣️ Of all the places we visited in Italy and there were a lot. This was our most joyous spot to visit with spectacular views, wonderful hotel, and super kind and friendly staff from the kitchen to the dining room to the front desk when you check in. This is first class at it’s finest❣️"

Hotel Villa Flori

8/10 Good

"Rooms are very small. Bathroom is small but functionall. Walls are very thin. Thought the people next door were in our room. Luckily they quieted down early. Substantial road noise. Property is right on the street. Elevator is a bit sketchy. Better to use the stairs. Now the positives. Staff was on point. Hotel is situated between Como and"
