The Hotel Villa Carona offers you your own personally run feel-good oasis above Lake Lugano. You can still get a sense of the original Ticino attitude towards life in a 200-year-old Ticino patrician house in this artist village, where Hermann Hesse spent many hours. Yet you are only ten minutes away from the bustling metropolis of Lugano.
Our family-run romantic hotel with 18 rooms offers peace, rest, and relaxation for you and your family in the typical Ticino ambience. The historical rooms are lovingly decorated and furnished with antique ornaments. All rooms also have modern bathrooms and internet connection.
Our garden is a small Mediterranean paradise. Breakfast under the open sky with a view of Monte Generoso becomes an unforgettable experience. Take it easy on our sun loungers or unwind in the hot tub filled with water heated to 36º or take a spin in the heated (April to October) outdoor pool.. This is the best kind of pleasant relaxation in carefree idleness.

This over 200-year-old Ticino patrician house in the artists’ village of Carona still exudes the charm of bygone times – a place where Hermann Hesse also spent many hours. Carona is considered a special place of energy, where culture, nature, and the southern way of life merge into a unique atmosphere.
Escape everyday life and enjoy the dolce far niente amid historic walls, blooming gardens, and a Mediterranean ambiance. Personally managed by the hosts Cornelia & Jörg Deubner-Marty and cared for by an attentive team, you will find here a place to arrive, linger, and let your soul unwind.
"Quick to reach from Lugano and yet you can immerse yourself in the old, authentic Ticino. With its idyllic garden and wonderfully cosy restaurant, the hotel completes this positive picture perfectly. The hotel management put their heart and soul into the business, and everything is furnished with love and attention. We would love to come back!"
