This property was designed for people who love details and appreciate a beautiful asthetic. The service was excellent there and there is a winery in walking distance (unfortunately, we did not get to experience it). Morcote is very very charming but it is so isolated. They have weddings frequently in the castle (attached to the winery) and the hotel is often booked for wedding guests so we were lucky we got to experience one day of it.

Easily one of the best properties we have ever stayed at! A gorgeous example of adaptive reuse, with original 16th century convent ceilings and floors and beautiful award-winning decor throughout. The hotel is in a quaint hilltop village with private access to a castle and a winery a short hike away. The onsite restaurant is superb, with excellent food and staff. The front desk staff are also very kind and welcoming. Very comfortable bed and room with a very effective AC. You cannot go wrong here, we just loved it!

We loved staying in this hotel with its unique history and beautiful decor. It is a special place in a wonderful location and we had fabulous views from our balcony. The walk to Morcote took under 30 minutes with lovely views but you need to wear trainers as the path is uneven. We also enjoyed walking to the castle through the vineyards and exploring lake Lugano by bus and boat. We tended to get Uber taxi’s back up to to hotel as it was a steep climb ( cost 18CHF)

Magical Experience at the Relais

We spent two nights at the Relais for our wedding at Castello di Morcote. Other than the hotel being absolutely beautiful, the staff were the ones who made our stay extra special. Andrea and Francesca went out of their way to accommodate us on our wedding day. They helped us with lunch the day before and the day of our wedding, and they facilitated our vendors as we prepared for the big day. The location is magical too, and it is one of the most peaceful places that I have been. Thank you so much to everyone at the Relais who made our wedding experience so incredible. We're forever grateful!

Loved this slice of heaven, away from the crowds of Lugano but yet convenient to get to by car. The front desk service was amazing - the girls were so friendly and helpful. Daily breakfast was clean tasting and delicious. The hotel grounds are so thoughtful, well designed and aesthetic. Despite it being an old building, it did not feel cold like some old buildings can - Insulation done right! Highly recommend to anyone who loves a quaint boutique hotel with great service and thoughtful spaces.

Romantisches Paar-Wochenende

Das Hotel ist in einem alten umgebauten Kloster. Es hat nur 12 Zimmer, und das Ambiente ist dadurch sehr exklusiv. Ich denke, das erklärt auch den etwas höheren Preis. Die Renovierung wurde mit sehr viel Liebe zum Detail ausgeführt. Wir waren in den Hauseigenen Weinbergen spazieren und haben von dort aus den Sonnenuntergang angesehen. Das war unser persönliches Highlight! Diesmal haben wir nur eine Nacht im Relais übernachtet, und daher kaum etwas der zahlreichen Angebote (Wine Tastings, etc.) genutzt. Das nächste Mal wollen wir aber länger kommen und vieles davon ausprobieren. Der hauseigene Wein hat uns hervorragend geschmeckt.

Sehr schönes Boutique Hotel

Sehr schön eingerichtetes Boutique-Hotel mit stilvollen Aufenthaltszonen. Es gibt eine Selfservice Bar, wo man den eigenen Wein trinken kann. Zimmer sind sehr sauber, nicht sehr gross, aber genügt für eine Kurzaufenthalt. Es war etwas kühl, dies ist jedoch vermutlich aufgrund der Wetterumstellung und Beginn der Heizperiode geschuldet. Aktuell befindet sich das Haus nebenan im Umbau, was mich allerdings nicht gestört hat, da die Arbeiten erst nach 8.00 Uhr losgingen. Overall, definitiv empfehlenswert.

Super beeindruckendes Hotel. Wenn man jedoch nicht so wanderlustig ist könnte es etwas “langweilig” werden. Es bietet die Möglichkeit für tolle Spaziergänge, auch zum eigenen Weingut des Hotels. Allerdings gibt es nicht viele andere Aktivitätsmoeglichkeiten. Das essen im eigenen Restaurant ist hervorragend, mit kleiner Karte! Allerdings gibt es in fuss läufiger Umgebung keine Alternativen was einem bewusst seien sollte. Für 2 Nächte auf jedenfall eine Reise wert!
