Guest Reviews
Location
Set in a picturesque environment, La Viscontina is surrounded by lush greenery with scenic walking trails alongside a tranquil canal and near the Ticino River. The natural setting offers a peaceful escape from city life with opportunities to stroll through the woods, enjoy the company of farm animals or simply relax in the countryside. The on-site restaurant receives acclaim for its tasty offerings and the spacious, clean rooms provide a comfortable stay.
Despite its proximity to the airport, La Viscontina feels like a secluded oasis, providing both convenience and a touch of rustic charm. Whether it's a single night's layover or a peaceful retreat close to the airport, La Viscontina’s strategic location and serene surroundings make it an ideal choice for travelers.
Breakfast
However, the critiques are consistent in pointing out the lack of variety and the overly sweet nature of the offerings. There are frequent mentions of the limited selection, primarily consisting of croissants, cakes and bread with minimal savory options. This simplicity seems to be a common theme across reviews with some guests suggesting improvements like adding more diverse items, including savory choices such as eggs and cheese, to better cater to international tastes.
Timing and service also receive mixed reviews. Some guests appreciated the provision of takeaway breakfasts for early flights, while others found the breakfast hours too restrictive. The service is generally described as friendly and attentive, although there are occasional mentions of disorganization and slow service.
In conclusion, while La Viscontina's breakfast is often noted for its good quality and freshness, there is a clear consensus that more variety and options, especially savory ones, would significantly enhance the breakfast experience.
Dinner
While the restaurant boasts a charming atmosphere and convenient on-site dining for lunch and dinner, some reviews note the lack of variety in the menu, especially regarding vegetarian options and side dishes. Despite this, the majority of diners are impressed with the genuine, hearty dishes and the exceptional service from the staff.
Additionally, meals are noted for being delicious with specific mentions of terrific dinner experiences and high-quality meat and cheese sourced directly from the farm. The restaurant's ambiance and the convenience of dining on-site add to the overall positive dining experience, making it a recommended destination for those staying at the accommodation.
However, a few guests expressed disappointment with the limited menu options and portion sizes and some considered the dinner prices to be high. Despite these occasional critiques, the overall feedback underscores a positive and satisfying dining experience at 'La Viscontina's' restaurant.
Rooms
Several reviews highlight that the rooms come with all necessary amenities, including air conditioning and spacious bathrooms, contributing to a high level of comfort.

Although some guests mentioned minor drawbacks such as occasional humidity, poor sound insulation or very basic furnishings, the majority found the rooms warm, welcoming and suitable for both short and long stays. The family rooms are particularly praised for being large and accommodating, despite some sporadic issues like problems with the AC or dead insects on windows on rare occasions.
Overall, La Viscontina's rooms offer a blend of spaciousness, comfort and cleanliness with a few areas that could benefit from small improvements. The property's proximity to the airport, combined with a pleasant ambiance and practical amenities, makes it a solid choice for travelers.
Beds
However, not all reviews are entirely positive. Some guests reported issues with beds being too soft or sagging in the middle and occasionally these problems were compounded by missing slats in the bed frames. Others found the pillows to be too hard or too soft and in some cases, there were complaints about the beds being squeaky or uncomfortable. Additionally, a few guests mentioned that the bedding size felt inadequate or that certain mattresses were too firm or worn-in.
In summary, while many guests find the beds at La Viscontina to be exceptionally comfortable, there are occasional issues that could affect one's stay. The hotel seems to attract a range of opinions, largely favoring comfort but with some areas for potential improvement.
Cleanliness
Many guests appreciate the quiet, serene environment, particularly noting the hotel's proximity to the airport and the efficiency of its shuttle service. The tranquil surroundings and tidy facilities create a welcoming and restful retreat, ideal for travelers, especially those with early or late flights.
Despite the overwhelmingly positive feedback, there are occasional mentions of lapses in cleanliness, such as minor cleaning oversights or specific areas not meeting the usual high standards. However, these comments are relatively rare and do not significantly detract from the overall reputation of La Viscontina as a clean, comfortable and convenient choice for visitors.
Staff
Wi-Fi
Nonetheless, there are significant concerns about the reliability and reach of the Wi-Fi. Numerous guests report weak or non-existent Wi-Fi in their rooms, making it difficult to maintain a connection. Issues with intermittent service and poor internet signal are frequent and in some locations within the hotel, Wi-Fi service is completely unavailable. For those relying on mobile data, the lack of reception adds another layer of frustration as mobile network coverage is also reported to be weak or absent.
While the hotel is working on improving its Wi-Fi infrastructure, currently, the overall internet service leaves much to be desired, especially in more remote parts of the accommodation. This mixed experience suggests managing expectations is essential for guests who need reliable internet during their stay at La Viscontina.
Parking
A large indoor parking garage and a monitored parking lot are also adjacent to the hotel, offering additional flexibility for guests. Many guests find the parking to be affordable and value the inclusion of transport in the overall service.
