Hallo to come back.

Great welcome also for my 5-year old son, with colouring book, pencils and some sweets, although the hotel is not a dedicated family hotel.

Perfect stay for a weekend in Ticino

Location although in the city center, very well connected with public transport. Parking availability, very nice garden with swimming pool, top breakfast, very comfortable bed and very nice service. Attention to small details was a plus.

I had such a wonderful experience at this hotel and truly felt taken care of from the moment I arrived. I was kindly upg

What I loved the most about the hotel was definitely the breakfast and the stunning lake view. The breakfast was exceptional, with a wide variety of options, everything was fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. It really made each morning special. And the lake view was simply breathtaking, so peaceful and relaxing, it added a unique charm to the entire stay and made the experience even more memorable.

One night stay

I was genuinely impressed by the quality of service at this hotel. Although it's rated as a 3-star, the warm hospitality and welcoming atmosphere made it feel like so much more—it was truly one of the highlights of our trip through Italy and Switzerland. Some standout aspects of our stay included: A complimentary room upgrade upon arrival, offering a breathtaking view A thoughtful welcome with complimentary wine, apples, and snacks in the room Refreshments like tea, infused water, and light snacks always available in the lobby A beautiful garden with a fantastic swimming pool—perfect for unwinding Free public transport tickets provided for the duration of our stay The overall atmosphere was calm, peaceful, and ideal for relaxation. A perfect retreat to recharge!

very good holiday place

It was very convenient for a family stay (two separate rooms close connected by a hall), and the staff was very kind and helpful. It Had a nice small pool to refresh and a lovely lake view. It is just a stroll from the lake and Locarno is a beautiful spot

Small and familiar hotel. The hotel staff is really nice and welcoming. The garden, the pool and the breakfast with freshly made products were the best part.

Great choice for short or longer stay

Good facilities and practical location. The area was calm and quiet and moving around with the Ticino ticket was very easy and convenient (bus stop right around the corner). Good base for exploring Ticino, we did a lot of different trips during our stay (easy start by hopping on a bus right in from of the hotel). Short walk down to the waterfront with some restaurants, couple of supermarkets within a couple of minutes by foot. Starting the morning with a breakfast in the garden was a nice way to start the day (excellent breakfast buffet with plenty of choice, fresh fruit and local flavours). Friendly and helpful staff. During our stay, the hotel was fully booked but never felt busy or crowded, the atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed.

All in all quite nice but prepare for a small room.

the pool is quite nice; the hotel had booked us a parking place for free in the garage and also gave us a free welcome drink. The person at the reception spoke some french and was very helpful.
