We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Aria Retreat & Spa. The room, the view—everything was exceptional and made us feel completely at home. All the staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. A special thank you to Matteo, who assisted us with both check-in and check-out and made everything seamless. We had a minor issue with the shower on the day we arrived, but it was resolved promptly that same evening, showing the team’s great responsiveness. Our entire stay was so relaxing and peaceful. One of the highlights was enjoying the in-room breakfast on the balcony overlooking the beautiful lake—it was the perfect and most pleasant way to start each day. Thank you again for such a memorable experience. We can’t wait to come back!

This is your spot

We’ve stayed in some beautiful places and Aria will not disappoint. The staff, however, is the real star of this show. From front staff to back of house they offer a true 5 star experience. After a whirlwind trip through the expected stops (Venice, Verona, Lake Como) we wanted something a bit more low key but with nice amenities. The VIP spa experience is worth the extra expense for a memorable afternoon and their tasting experience restaurant is as good (or better) than NYC. That they are an upscale boutique hotel as part of a larger hotel property provides large hotel amenities but exceptional quick service. Oh they even have Donkeys you can feed which was super cute.

A gem of a place. Little paradise on lake Lugano away from crowds but conveniently 15 minutes to Mennagio and 20 minutes to Lugano. Amazing, spacious, well appointed rooms, beautiful facilities, out of this world swimming pool and jacuzzi. But what makes this place truly unique is people. Martina, Michela, Matteo, Tecla, Serena you are amazing, warm, incredible people. Thank you for your top notch service, attention to detail, promptness, friendliness, kindness and AMAZING help. You truly made our visit special and we cannot thank you enough for everything you have done for us. I highly recommend this place to anyone traveling to Como and will definitely be back with my family. A true gem!

This was the worst 5 star hotel I have ever seen. We stayed for 5 minutes and then decided to leave and book a different hotel. Avoid at all costs.
