The staff were beyond friendly and helpful. Their cheeriness was infectious. A true asset to whoever owns the hotel. The room was very well appointed and decorated. Bathroom and shower were very good and spotlessly clean. Because of our travel plans, we didn't have breakfast but the garden/dinning area was also very well appointed. Would definitely stay here again.

The apartment boasted pristine conditions, nestled in an ideal spot merely a ten-minute stroll from both the bustling city center and the tranquil lake. The environs were superb. Its lofty ceilings added to the sense of space and modernity, while the kitchen was well-equipped with every utensil needed for a comfortable stay. Moreover, a covered public parking area is available close by at an affordable price. Ensure you carry coins, or alternatively, you can download the EasyPark app. The app is highly efficient, allowing you to pay for the exact parking time used, rather than an estimated amount.

We loved our stay here. Our room had a large balcony, with a view down to the lake. Breakfast was very good - plenty of choice. Our host was easily contactable, and friendly. Rooms were clean and spacious. There is a bus stop right outside the property if you didn't want to walk up the short hill, but we mostly walked.

The location is right in the middle of the central piazza area, very close walk to the station and easy to get to bus lines and the ferry. I loved my room, with one side facing into the beautiful private courtyard and the other overlooking the cute shopping street outside. Very nice kitchen, comfortable furniture. Barbara and Urs were so helpful in giving me advice about my trains, and very friendly and warm (comfortable communicating in English). I had my own table in the courtyard. Although there were other guests it stayed very quiet (doesn’t seem to be a party district) and I slept well every night. I would very happily stay here again in the future.

The rooms are big with nice big terrasses and great views to the mountains, lake and swimming pool. The hotel feels like a spa hotel with the excellent swimming pool (but without any treatments offered). The location is perfect - close to the lake and you can walk/ run by the lake. The hotel is only 15 mins walk from Locarno city. The rooms are expensive but nevertheless we would like to return for a couple of days at a later time point because it is high quality and excellent staff.

    The apartment is very spacious: large living room, nice balcony, large bedrooms. The location is ideal: within walking distance to centre and to the lake. Three supermarkets quite close. Lots of storage space. Livingroom had a large flat screen TV, large sofa and a large table. Host was available by phone and Whatsup (although not always able to help - see next section) As we arrived early (train schedule), the host was kind to let us leave the luggage in the apt while it was being cleaned.

    Great location, and one of the few "budget" options in this area. There were many people checking in at the same time, but they were working really fast and making sure everyone gets their room as quick as possible. Great working team.
