My wife and I spent three nights in this apartment in Lugano. It was very modern and spotless. The apartment was right next to everything and was just as described. The managers were attentive and responded quickly to inquiries. We definitely would stay there again.

I stayed on my own at the Little Lugano apartment. It was a wonderful respite from a busy trip. The windows provided a nice view of the neighboring park, and Monte Brè. The kitchen is well stocked, and the washer and drier came in handy. The management company was quite responsive to my questions. I look forward to returning with my spouse for an anniversary someday.

We very much enjoyed our stay at little Lugano. All good. A better description of entry to apartment in that it is in a business and apartment complex would have helped. Less QR codes and more personal contact would have helped us. Apartment though 5 star with great location. Would reommend for a stay in Lugano.

This place was immaculately clean. Very modern. We arrived with a complimentary bottle of Prosecco waiting for us on the dining room table. How utterly thoughtful! Just a few blocks from the beautiful lake. Walkable to grocery, restaurants, designer shops, and other shopping. Very safe. I was given very detailed communications and instructions on arrival and departure. Fully stocked and equipped with everything you could need. I wish my stay was longer here.
Logement moderne et très bien équipé. Sa situation proche du centre, du lac et du parc ciano est vraiment l'atout de ce logement. Pas loin non plus de la station de train (12/15 min à pied pour y aller, funiculaire pour le retour mais on peut aussi le prendre pour aller de la gare vers centre-ville)

L'appartamento è situato in zona centrale con vista monte e lago, fornito di tutti i comfort. È stato facile raggiungere il posto con un bus che ha impiegato 5 min, è molto facile muoversi in città perché è tutto vicino. L'appartamento è anche fornito di un modem wifi che si può trasportare. Come consiglio avrei preferito un’accoglienza di una persona per la consegna delle chiavi invece che andare direttamente in ufficio per prenderle. Consigliamo la visita al Monte Bre’ e Monte San Salvatore facilmente raggiungibili con i bus di zona/funicolare e il parco Ciani vicino all’appartamento.
Modern und gut ausgestattet, sehr gute Lage, alles prima!

We visited Lugano for the Half Marathon and this property was perfectly positioned for all of the festivities. It’s in very close proximity to the old part of town, with lots of options for shopping and dining. Highly recommend!

My husband and I had a wonderful stay at the apartment Little Lugano. It was actually my second stay at this apartment since I had been there with my daughter last year in September.
I had such a wonderful time that I wanted to stay once again at this awesome apartment. The location is just perfect.
What I liked about the apartment was the layout, the full kitchen and the bathroom. It is also a plus that it has a washer and a dryer. And also definitely the portable Wi-Fi.
All the personnel was always very kind and attentive and the process of renting and getting there was very friendly and easy.
We would definitely stay there again next time we visit Lugano.
Modernes Appartement in guter Lage bei der Seepromenade.Leider nur öffentliche Parkplätze mit hohen Kosten.Punte citta stellt günstige Berechtigungsscheine zum Dauerparken in blauen Parkstreifen aus.
