Despite the rain, we had a fantastic two-night stay at Hotel Sassa. The service was excellent, the views were stunning even in bad weather, and the spa was a perfect escape. The breakfast was super. A great spot for a relaxing couples’ getaway.

The hotel is a bit dated, 1980s architecture. The rooms are a nice size though and the bathrooms modernized. The pool is very nice. The restaurants and especially the service were awful. Overpriced, poor food and arrogant waiters really put a damper on our stay.

For me, the biggest reason why you come to Villa Sassa is the majestic view or the surrounding areas. It's a scene out of a movie. Beautiful with a lake view. The only thing that could be better is having more kid friendly food options and a major paint job of the buildings, as it looks outdated and takes away from the aesthetic view of the property.

We stayed at the suite room and that was amazing. The view was amazing. The bathroom was a little dirty the dloor(hairs) but the rest was perfect. The kitchen was great but they don’t have plates, silverware, etc. So you can’t cook there.

We LOVED our stay here. Our room included wellness and breakfast. The Wellness area offered an indoor pool and hot tub as well as mixed gender steam room. The sauna, relaxation area, cold plunge and change rooms are gender specific. We celebrated our engagement here and they upgraded us to a beautiful premium suite with a balcony. The breakfast was delicious with many different pastries, fruit, yogurt, meats, and cheeses. The property grounds were gorgeous - I recommend walking around to check out the view. We wished we’d booked another night!
