I can't say enough how great that hotel was. We did not rent a car. There was no need to do so. Local transportation was excellent to get wherever we wanted to go. We did not do any day trips because we had traveled through other towns on our way to Lugano. We really didn't want to leave there and lose the time - there was so much to see and do. You must take the series of funiculars up to the top of the mission. It is a ride you won't forget. The view is awesome - such beauty from up so high.
