Great place to stay

Great location as base for exploring surrounding area just a short walk to train/bus stations, as well as to grocery store Coop and many restaurants around. quiet with beautiful inner courtyard. There's someone at reception during the day, except weekend. The host was very quick to respond. There's laundry room at the property with a metered washer and dryer which was convenient. Just ask for coins at reception. Note that each coin will operate the washer or dryer for 30 minutes so just use more coins as necessary. Just a note for those coming in summer months, there's no aircon, didn't matter when I was there.

The location was perfect, right in the old town of Locarno. The communication with staff was excellent and they kept us informed about check in times. It was great that coffee was also provided.

Perfect for few days staying in Locarno

I really did like this small oasis of plants in the middle of the hotel and the apartment was very clean. The location of the hotel is very great as well.

Excellent location with all the comforts and facilities that make a journey worthwhile?

Everything. Our hosts went out of their way to be welcoming, friendly and to cater for our needs as travellers. They took their time to carefully explain everything we needed to know about the accomodation and tips for the town including maps. They always greeted us with warmth. The location was excellent in the old town and close to everything without being too busy.

perfect location and amenities

lovely little apartment that had everything we needed for our 10 night stay. Loved that it was in a local neighbourhood just off Plazza Grande. Hosts were informative but not intrusive. we shopped nearby for all our essentials. The property and Locarno made an excellent base to explore Ticino.

I enjoyed five nights at this lovely property in a great location.

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.

Was a lovely week in Locarno!

The apartments are in a very calm street and are in a (eco)building with an internal garden. The owners, Barbra and Urs, were always very nice and helpful. The studio was very clean and had all the installations (fridge, hot plates, hood) and utilities for cooking, if needed. This is very important for allergic persons.
