Company info

Ariane Dorit Polli Owner Ecole hôtelière de Lausanne Languages: Schwyzerdütsch, German, Italian, English, French Dolceresio…a place to be free and to discover the authenticity of our region. THE STORY Dolceresio is located in an 18th century building that my parents Dorit and Werner Wälchli bought in 1998. For years I ran my own restaurant business with passion and great satisfaction. I then worked in various sectors, which certainly broadened my horizons. Suddenly the need to return to what I have always loved, the hospitality industry, becomes a priority. Together with my friend Ilaria we found the “Dolceresio Lugano Lake B&B” in 2020. We are two women with opposite but complementary personalities. Dolceresio meets our aspirations and needs to pursue enriching work that makes us happy. Therefore, this isn’t just a B&B, but a project born out of long and funny team working sessions. From 2024 our paths part, but only professionally, because true friendships remain. I am happy to continue running the Dolceresio by gratefully relying on what we have created together, going ahead with a fresh perspective.
