Directions

Villa Principe Leopoldo, with its annexed Residence, is one of the finest hotel accommodations in the Canton of Ticino.The location is stunning and top class. Already getting to the Villa from the centre of Lugano is an experience in itself, as we are swept into the elite world of the Collina d'Oro, so dearly loved by Herman Hesse. The great circular square in front of the entrance, where often prestigious Ferraris and Bentleys are parked, welcomes our guests to our exclusive hotel.

Set in the tranquil and private "Golden Hill" (Collina d'Oro), Villa Principe Leopoldo & Residence is the perfect place in which to enjoy the luxury of large open spaces, far from the crowds and frenzy of city life.

Dining

Cafe LeopoldoA secret corner of the Principe: an oasis where peace and quiet reign among the scents and sounds of nature. This informal ambience is suited to quicker meals; here, it's possible to get a taste of simple but genuine tastes. The Leopoldo Restaurant Cafe is open from March to October.The Principe Leopoldo RestaurantWe should not forget to mention our restaurant's astounding cuisine that thanks to the great expertise of Chef Dario Ranza has received numerous awards. The restaurant is renowned for its quality and elegance and has received excellent mentions in several international guides like Les Grandes Tables, Gault Millau and Veronelli. Three quiet dining areas, well-distanced tables, marble and flower upholstery, Louis XVI chairs, linen tablecloths and an impeccable service are the ingredients for dining in style. When the weather is pleasant, guests can enjoy the Gazebo on the large terrace in front of a breathtaking view. Chef Ranza's cuisine joins together the French experience with the genuine Italian tradition. The dishes are at once tasty but delicate; the menu is contrived according to the season, featuring both meat and fish, flavours from the vegetable garden and aromatic herbs. Do not miss the delicious deserts.The Principe BarThe Principe is always very crowded in the evening, especially on Fri and Sat. The pianist entertains a select clientele (reservations are a must!) with evergreen music or jazz, sometimes accompanied by wonderful singers. Once a month, a wine-tasting evening is organized offering the opportunity to enjoy some of the best labels of wines or champagnes. There's also a vast selection of malt whisky and a cigar menu. Relaxing in comfortable armchairs in the cosy atmosphere of the Bar, our guests can listen to music until 1.00 a.m.
