This magnificent villa, built for Prince Leopold Von Hohenzollern in 1868, is set on the beautiful Collina d’Oro, overlooking the sparkling waters of Lake Lugano. The splendours of the Belle Epoque are still evident in the luxurious suites and the sumptuous drawing room decorated with marble fireplaces and works of art. Enjoy traditional Swiss hospitality and savour refined cuisine enhanced by superb Piemontese wines. In the smart residential neighbourhood where Hermann Hesse lived, 2 km from downtown Lugano, the Villa Principe Leopoldo, with the Residence Principe Leopoldo across the street, has moulded into an upmarket resort, amongst Lugano's finest accomodation. More Italian than Swiss in spirit, the resort comprises a two story Mediterranean Villa and a more modern residential building.
