Commitments
Le Bigatt is strongly integrated into the territory of which it is a part, and that's what particularly delighted us. There's a real ecological, local and social commitment here. Through a non-profit association, the hotel combines entrepreneurship with support for the integration of people excluded from the world of work. The place is full of good energy, and online customer reviews are unanimous.

Outdoors
Outside, discover the large, attractive cobbled patio. You can then access the old wine press to taste wines from the Moncucchetto farm and the surrounding area. Finally, from the old wine press, take a short walk to admire the small chapel, entirely frescoed.
The swimming pool
Amidst the vineyards, take a dip in the hotel's heated outdoor pool, reserved exclusively for Bigatt guests. It's like being in a mountain lagoon, all ecologically designed.
Breakfast
In the morning, a hearty and varied breakfast is served in the Bigatt's dining room. On the menu: local produce and a wide range of products prepared the same day, including cakes, mousses and jams. The perfect way to start the day!
The restaurant
Locanda dal Bigatt is the hotel's restaurant and well worth a visit. Here, everything is local and in season: cheese and meat are bought from local producers, fish is freshly caught from Lake Lugano and vegetables come from the estate's many organic gardens. If the weather is fine, enjoy the terrace overlooking the Gulf of Lugano. Chef Daniele Giordano is the soul of Bigatt's cuisine.
Location
The Bigatt is located in the center of a magnificent lung of greenery with a 360° view over the city of Lugano, at the foot of Mount San Salvatore. Lugano is located in the Italian part of Switzerland, in the canton of Ticino. A former fishing village, Lugano is renowned for its quality of life, the charm of the narrow streets in its medieval heart and its mild climate all year round!
