Lovely

We had a lovely stay. The breakfast buffet was incredibly varied and absolutely delicious. The view of the lake from our room with a balcony was sensational. The owner was very friendly. There are a few options in and around Brissago for vegan dinners in the restaurants. If you’re not travelling by car, you’ll need to be happy walking. There are lovely walks to go on. We also really enjoyed the chance to do yoga in the morning. If you’re looking for absolute peace and quiet, it might be a bit tricky. We kept the balcony door open because of the heat, and you can hear people having breakfast in the mornings. What we missed was an e-bike hire service at the hotel. But you can use Publibike in the village.

Super Vegan Breakfast

At Garden Hotel Primavera you can enjoy a great vegan breakfast with home made products and a variety that changes nearly everyday: pancakes, salads, warm options, home made cakes and tarts, sweet croissants, fresh fruits and veggies, bruschette, avocado toast and much more. Just visit the hotel and see if for yourself! :-)

Lovely and relaxing stay

I enjoyed the quiet of the location - no major street in this area and super quiet at might. They only served breakfast but had recommendations for vegan friendly options near by (nice options).
The views are gorgeous!
The breakfast was a buffet and had a nice variety - but it is just so lovely not having to ask if it is vegan. Everything is vegan!

Room was spacious and spotless.

I really enjoyed the nice break

Pros: Views, Breakfast, Kind staff

Cons: Nothing

Thank you so much for your kind words, Elsa! We are delighted you enjoyed the quiet location, the views and the breakfast. You put it perfectly — it really is such a relief not having to ask if something is vegan, because everything is! 😊 We hope to welcome you back to Brissago soon. 🌿 Isabella & Maurizio

Traumhaft, Freundlich und Vegan 🌱

Unglaublich, ein rein veganes Hotel mit traumhafter Aussicht auf den Lago Maggiore. Isabella und Maurizio sind wundervolle Gastgeber, so herzlich und freundlich, fantastisch! Isabella spricht zudem Italienisch, Deutsch, Französisch und Englisch. Die Zimmer sind modernisiert worden (außer das Bad), aber alles war sehr sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet. Von unserem Balkon hatten wir einen Traumhaft Ausblick auf den Lago Maggiore, unglaublich schön. Für uns war es auch toll das es ein Nichtraucher Hotel ist, so kommt kein lästiger Rauch vom neben Balkon zu einem 👍 Das Frühstück ist rein Vegan und es gibt alles was das Herz begehrt, Müsli, Joghurt, Früchte, Brot, Croissants, Wurst, Käse, Marmelade … sogar ab und an einen selbst gebackenen Kuchen 🫶 Es ist einfach wundervoll, dass man als Veganer ohne Kompromissen so fantastisch Urlaub machen kann 🍀

Pros: Freundlichkeit der Gastgeber , Standort und die Aussicht, Das vegane Frühstücksangebot

Cons: Für mich waren die Betten zu hart.

IsabellaBellani

Vielen herzlichen Dank, Marc, für diese wunderschöne Rezension! Es freut uns sehr, dass ihr euch bei uns so wohl gefühlt habt und die Aussicht, das Frühstück und die Gastfreundschaft genossen habt.

Brissago is beautiful!

The restaurant wasnt open when we were there. Af ter a conversation with the owners about it, they told me there were too little people to open the restaurant for. Which I completly understand. In stead we got a falaffel first night and the second night we ate at La Curt Bandidata.

I did think the breakfast was boring for a vegan hotel. My suggestion: add pancakes for sweet choice and tofu scramble for harty breakfast. The room and bathroom was a good size.

Dear Guest, thank you for your feedback. I just want to let you know that we came a long way from our first years as a vegan hotel and we are now finally offering a very nice buffet with pancakes, home made cakes, warm dishes and much more. It was not easy to find the right combination of food options, good staff able to prepare the food and enough people to enjoy it. But in 2026 I can say that we did it and we are very proud of it. So I hope you will be back to visit us😄See you soon!

Beautiful hotel in wonderful settings

The hotel has been renovated and is full of charm, it has stunning views, it feels comfy and homey.
There is various options for a plant based breakfast and on weekend nights you can eat at the restaurant the "pinse" a twist on pizza, with various toppings.
Great place for a holiday, highly recommended, the staff is very nice and helpful too.

Pros: Fresh fruit and vegan yogurt and seeded bread , Option for big brunch or smaller breakfast

Cons: Use of meat substitutes and fake cheeses

IsabellaBellani

10 Jun 2026

Thank you for your kind words! We are happy you felt the charm and the homey atmosphere we try to create. Regarding the use of plant-based substitutes — we completely understand the preference for whole, natural foods, and we have evolved a lot since then. Our breakfast today focuses much more on fresh, homemade and minimally processed ingredients. We hope you'll come back and taste the difference! 🌿 Isabella & Maurizio

Best hotel ever!

We were drawn to the hotel from a website saying it was 100% vegan. But it was so much more than just great food! Very friendly, helpful, kind and chatty staff. The owners were so great, helpful and we talked all evening.
It's a family business and they have a secret, the recipe for perfect pinsa, that was so delicious that when I ate it the first time, I looked forward to it for the next 24hours until I could eat it again!
The view over the lake whilst eating is great aswell, very calming.
Would give more that 5 stars if I could, highly recommend!

Pros: 100% vegan food (breakfast, lunch and dinner), Pinsa to die for, so delicious, Amazing owners and staff

Wow, thank you Alexander — what a review! 😄 We are so happy you and your travel companion felt so at home with us. The pinsa was indeed a labour of love!

Super Unterkunft

Wir waren für zwei Nächte dort und es war ein toller Kurzurlaub.
Die Besitzerin und das restliche Personal ist sehr freundlich und wahnsinnig zuvorkommend, dazu ist das Essen sehr gut.
Das Frühstück scheint im ersten Moment recht teuer aber für das was man bekommt ist es mehr als fair.
Das Abendessen ist wahnsinnig gut, das Hotel hat lediglich von Mittwoch bis Samstag Abendessen, die Besitzerin gibt einem auf Nachfrage aber genügend Ideen wo man sonst noch essen kann.
Sehr zu empfehlen dieses Hotel!

Vielen Dank für eure nette Bewertung! Es tut uns leid, dass das Restaurant damals geschlossen war — das war eine schwierige Phase für uns.
