The Swiss Historic & Garden Hotel Villa Carona, located above Lake Lugano, is a place of living history and genuine hospitality. For over 200 years, the patrician villa has shaped the picturesque village of Carona. Behind its historic walls, culture, authenticity, and the spirit of Ticino come together. Architecture, garden, and atmosphere make Villa Carona a haven where history remains alive. 18 individually designed rooms combine historic charm with modern comfort. Enjoy breakfast in the idyllic garden, relax in the 36 °C hot tub, swim in the heated outdoor pool (Easter to October), or unwind in our small but refined wellness area with sauna, steam bath, relaxation room, Kneipp pool, and garden.
