11/04/2026: One of my absolute favorite places. A place that truly makes you feel at home, and that's something rare and precious.
A special thank you to Elisabetta for helping and supporting me in organizing my graduation party: everything was perfect. I'm 100% satisfied, from the first phone call, to the numerous emails to finalize every detail, up to the final result.
Impeccable service, exceptional staff, and truly extraordinary attention to detail.
What can I say... I would choose this place a thousand times over, for any occasion: a party, a dinner, or even just a relaxing day.
Thank you all so much, you are truly invaluable. See you soon! T
11/04/2026: We spent a few days at Tenuta de l’Annunziata and had a rather disappointing, mixed experience overall. Our rating is definitely leaning towards 2 stars, and we wouldn't book the hotel again. I can't understand why the hotel still has some positive reviews.
The location is definitely a highlight: very quiet and idyllic, situated between Lake Lugano and Lake Como – perfect for relaxing. The grounds themselves are well-maintained and clean, and the cleaning staff do a fantastic job. The spa area is also lovely. Free parking is available, and we especially appreciated the option of having breakfast outside.
Unfortunately, several aspects significantly marred our stay. The staff seemed very impersonal, and we repeatedly felt that international guests were given less attention due to language barriers and the staff's limited English skills. The service was inattentive – you had to actively seek out a second cup of coffee at breakfast.
Breakfast itself was disappointing: a very limited selection, heavily focused on sweets, with hardly any healthy options. The scrambled eggs were also rather runny and not very appetizing.
Further points of criticism: The outdoor pool was closed despite an outside temperature of around 24 degrees Celsius, which we found incomprehensible. The shower was also cold in the morning. The small, single-use packages for the toiletries don't seem particularly sustainable either. A coffee machine is available in the room, but the price of €5 per capsule is outrageously high.
Overall, it's a beautiful property with a lot of potential, but the service and some details unfortunately don't live up to expectations.
