    Everything was just amazing!!

    Fabulous stay from the beginning to the end!! Booked this place as a treat from my wife's birthday. On arrival staff left a little cake, complementary drinks and a birthday card a in our room! Beds were just the best to have the sweetest of dreams and in the morning breakfast was a feast!! Far above our expectations the view and size of the rooms! We strongly recommend it and we shall certainly come back!!

    Considering it is a retreat/spa located between towns, the food could be a little better. This is NOT the chef’s fault; the food from the supplier is where the improvement can be made. Would happily pay a higher price for higher quality food at the Aria

    Everything about this place is top notch. Incredible staff top to bottom. Even when leaving the resort, you mention what you want to do and it is set up perfectly. I could go on and on about the service and how great the people that provide the service are but won’t ramble. All the facilities are incredible and there wasn’t even a minor issue (not even something that inconvenienced us for 5 seconds). One of the best stays you can have when you’re looking to relax while also being close to Lugano and the heart of Lake Como. It doesn’t get much better than this place and the people that make everything there work!

    The property is a bit far from Lake Como; however, Lake Lugano central is very nice and has good shopping and restaurants.

    Aria was incredible. The property is all suites and the rooms did not disappoint. The lake view was breathtaking. Truly a place of serenity. Staff exceeded our expectations and breakfast on the suite terrace was delicious. The Mediterranean restaurant was wonderful.

    They should not have a change for parking - not the right message given the exclusive on site parking is the hotels -

    Simply the best hotel I have stayed in - been in a loy lot high end hotels - this is best so far.

    Our family enjoyed our stay at Aria retreat and spa. Our suite was spacious, modern and very clean. All the stuff was very pleasant, attentive and always help when it’s needed. La Musa restaurant is amazingly delicious. We also enjoyed our lunch at Dolce Vita Lounge and Terrace. Kids loved the kids club and Il Basilico pizza place. The pizza is fantastic. My husband and I also had a great massages and other treatments and enjoyed the SPA a lot. Thanks Aria Retreat and Spa for such a wonderful memories !

    despite being listed as having air conditioning, they did not have AC because it was too early in the season to turn on. they made a special accommodation for me (the customer service was exceptional) and turned it on during the day (and provided fans), but I was a bit disappointed by not having AC while I slept.

    location is amazing; hotel is very new, modern and clean; most of all, the staff. Christian, Martini and Michaela were all incredible.
