Adults-only spa retreat with a pet set and outdoor dining

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.

Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
“A century-old adults-only wellness hotel in the village of Cademario, high above the Malcantone with views down to Lake Lugano, with the DOT Spa, the Radici Gourmet restaurant and the Agra Bar & Bistrot. It carries a pet-friendly label with written rules. It suits a quiet spa stay with a dog that likes woodland walks.

The Malcantone village paths start at the door, and the hotel's own list of dog walks includes the themed trails of Parco San Grato at Carona, the Monte San Salvatore nature trail and the olive path at Gandria.

Dogs can join you in the outdoor areas, the bistro and the outdoor restaurant. They don't go into the DOT Spa, the wellness or the pool areas. Lead at all times.

Where we can't yet confirm a detail first-hand, we mark it plainly rather than guess. A Daisy stay will close every gap.
