The facility
Who needs the sea with a lake like this?
Did you know that the Garden of Eden lies on the shores of Lake Maggiore? Our most beautiful hotel in Switzerland is situated on a lush mountain slope, in the middle of a four-hectare subtropical park. For more than 100 years, it has been looking out over an endless vista of Lake Maggiore and the Brissago islands – the perfect holiday home for your dream break in a warm Mediterranean climate.
You can enjoy wonderful views of the forested hills around the lake from the large panoramic pool with children’s pool. Loungers and parasols invite you to sunbathe. Leave the daily grind behind, sip on a cool drink from the bar. In the enchanting park, you can breathe in the scent of fruits and flowers you have never seen before and marvel at passion flowers, ginkgoes or ancient olive trees. In the evening, we will serve you culinary delicacies together with a Ticino Merlot on the panoramic terrace of the restaurant "Al Fresco". And the kids are looking forward to the homemade pizza. Enjoy a coffee or a drink on the beautiful terrace with lake view. A wonderful way to spend the day.

About the location
Your holiday accommodation in Brissago
Brissago is located between Locarno, the warmest city in Switzerland, and the frontier with Italy. The small Ticinese town is also the lowest point in Switzerland, at only 197 meters above sea-level.
Brissago’s reputation reaches far beyond the frontier for its marvellous view out over the Isole di Brissago. Mansions with fabulous gardens look out over the view of the two small Brissago islands, especially the botanical gardens created by the Russian Baroness Antoinette Saint-Léger as a paradise on earth between 1885 to 1928. The green island paradise is easily accessible by boat.
Brissago is also famous for its tobacco factory and its iconic cigars. The enchanting hamlet bewitches visitors with its picturesque lakeside village centre. With its narrow, winding alleys leading up to the wonderful Renaissance church of San Pietro e Paolo, the village is the perfect place for a stroll.
