About this property

The family-run Tresa Bay Hotel right on the banks of Lake Lugano is just 30 minutes by shuttle train away from the centre of Lugano. The shuttle train runs every 15 minutes on weekdays and every 30 minutes on weekends. Relax right on the shore of Lake Lugano, only 200 metres away from Ponte Tresa in Italy with its well-known Saturday market. Don't miss the Tresa Bay Hotel's lake-side restaurant and other tasty meals of the Italian cuisine. All rooms face Lake Lugano, offering a marvellous panoramic view on one of the most romantic bays. Superior rooms even give you this beautiful sight already from your bathroom. A small wellness oasis with access to the lake, seminar and meeting facilities, a nice sun terrace complete the comprehensive offer of the Tresa Bay hotel.

Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.2 for a two-person trip.
