Grand Hotel Villa Castagnola
Lakeside villa with a park to roam and a dog sitter
This hotel is part of the Daisy Curated Collection. Its information has been researched and verified, but Daisy has not yet personally stayed here. When she does, this page will be upgraded to a full Daisy Verified inspection.
What we've verified
The Sentiero dell'olivo, the olive path to Gandria, starts in Castagnola just east of the hotel and runs along the shore. The Monte Brè funicular leaves from Cassarate, a short walk towards town.
Dogs are welcome in the rooms and the park, but not in the restaurants, main terrace, spa, pool or Lido Club.
How the welcome translates in person, at dinner and around the hotel. That's what a Daisy stay will confirm.
CHF 50, Per night
What we've confirmed, at a glance.
Verified with the hotel, honestly marked.
Dogs can stay in the room and come with you into the park and the Rucola garden on a lead. They don't go into the restaurants, onto the main terrace, into the spa or pool, or down to the Lido Club. In the park, keep to the wooden walkway and leave the lawn to other guests. Dogs go out of the room during housekeeping.
Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
Everything, without the wall of text.
