Hidden Gem
What a lovely hidden Gem of a venue.
Overall, a wonderful stay. Lovely breakfast, gardens and service.
I do think there are a few small things that can be improved in regards to the room itself but overall a good experience.

Situated in a nice location, quiet, close to highway. The hosts are extra nice couple, staffs are friendly. The single rooms are a bit disappointed, with proper window or ventilation and there is no aircon. Otherwise, was nice to stay for the night as a stopover.

Feel like home!
Villa Lugano is small but very nice, relaxing and quiet place to stay in Johannesburg South.
Fair price.
Charming and tidy structure, with garden and pool.
Lovely, comfortable and clean rooms, with excellent Wi-Fi.
English breakfast is included, and you can decide to reserve the dinner, or you can find an excellent (false) italian restaurant just across the street.
And the owners (and the staff as well) are so kind and nice!
Absolutely recommended!
