Look no further!

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. We had booked their 4 night relaxation package which included a full breakfast and the daily 4 course dinner specials (specials were incredible). This cost us 840 Euros.

Staff!
The staff was professional and courteous at all times. The place was immaculately kept. The crew was always cleaning and moving about and always smiled.

Spa!
The spa (had a facial for about 88 Euros) was one of the best I have been to.

LOCATION!!!!
We took the local bus in front of the hotels to Lugano Switzerland (about 30 scenic minutes around the lake) for shopping, sightseeing, and lunch on one day. Another day we took the bus in the opposite direction and were in Lake Mennagio, Italy (20 minutes away, also scenic). Mennagio is a beautiful town for sightseeing and lunch. From here we would take the ferry to the other lakes. A day trip to Bellagio cost us 6.5 Euros. A hopper pass for Varenna, Bellagio, Tremezzo, and Lenno cost us 10 Euros. The hotel sold us the bus ticket and provided a schedule. The ferry terminal provided maps, schedules, and prices for their service.

Hotel!!!!!!!!!!!
Fabulous! We had a view of the lake on our double patio equipped with beach loungers and tables and chairs. Our room was a suite with kitchen, living room, bathroom, and bedroom. The hotel always kept fresh fruit in the lobby and provides a large bowl in the fully equipped kitchen. We would bring up fruit for a late night snack. Ask for an air-conditioned room.

Worked with the hotels staff member; Wendy to book my trip. She was responsive, very helpful, and offered great alternatives. Maria at the front desk was wonderful as well.

Spa had services for children, adults, and couples (massage for couples lesson).

Full day program for children was also available.

Food!!!!
Each morning starts off with an elaborate spread - a separate table at children’s height is set up also. Each table has the days agenda - tours, on site happenings, weather, etc.

Dinner starts wih a large appetizer buffet set-up. From their the meal is selected and served by a courteous and wonderful staff. We chose to dress for dinner, but some folks were relaxed in dockers and polos.

2 pools, 1 beach, a gym, water slides, skate park, a quiet section for hammocks, loungers, and Buddhist temple for yoga or mediation sits on its highest point overlooking Lake Lugano.

Will share my photos soon.

From the moment we arrived and were greeting by a warm handshake, to the time we sadly had to go home, we loved our stay at Parco San Marco. You can either stay in the hotel itself, or as we did in the self-catering Residenza San Marco. Staying in the Residenza San Marco means that you only have limited access to the hotel's excellent spa facilites - you can only use the outdoor pool and the lakeside beach. But if you do want to use the fun pools or the spa then you can buy a daily pass. Expensive, but worth it if you really do use all the facilities on offer. We had a 1 bedroomed apartment with a balcony overlooking Lake Lugano in the Residenza San Marco. The apartment was perfectly spacious for two adults and 2 pre-schoolers. The kitchen was basic and not really equiped for complicated cuisine but adequate for making simple pasta dishes, which was as much as we wanted to do. We could of course use the hotel restaurants. Porlezza itself is a couple of kilometers down the road and is pleasant enough but not terribly exciting. But the drive over to Mennagio on Lake Como takes on 20 min and we made several easy trips. Would certainly recommend Parco San Marco to anyone and would happily go back tomorrow!

We stayed here for four nights with out two children 11 and 13.
It is fantastic place for adults and children of all ages.
Lots of sports things to do (and nearly all free) Two pools, one for adults and one for kids with water slide.
Manages to retain a grown up, sophisticated feel, yet is amazing for children.
Spa facilities are great and again childrens welcome.
Beautiful location and has private beach on the lake.
Only negative was lack of cheaper eating options, but found a nice trattoria on the lakeside.
Would defiantley go again!

We stayed at Parco San Marco in June 2005 for a family holiday. The hotel and facilities are as the brochure says, simply unique.
Porlezza is a quiet town, but the facilities at Parco enable you to have a wide variety of experiences.
The grounds are excellent,and while hilly, have been well designed for safety.
Parco has a private beach and sun area on the lake, as well as several pools.
The staff and management are excellent, while the food is of a very high standard.
The area is very suitable for touring, and a car is essential for Parco.
