“Wonderful hosting”

A really great breakfast spread, couldn't ask for more!

We truly had a super pleasant stay. We thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast and everything the house had to offer. Carla was a wonderful host who was attentive throughout.

“Central , nicely decorated house with garden”

Very central location in a very nice house with garden

Amazing place, nicely decorated , calm, right next ( 3 minutes by walk) to Piazza Grande. Carla is an exceptional host, helpful beyond expectation!

“Vey cozy & aesthetic place!”

Warmly welcome! The host was so generous and helpful. Also, got me by all nice decorations-facilities.

“Exceptional! Such a wonderful experience to stay here.”

This property is above and beyond. Great decor, very clean and comfortable, close to beautiful main centre and easy walk to lake. The host is very kind and accommodating. I will definitely stay here again.

“Delightful place to stay.”

The location was near to the centre of the town and yet in a quiet street. A large room in a beautiful home. The owner was very friendly and made us feel welcome.

“Outstanding and affordable B&B in the heart of Locarno”

Super friendly host. Outstanding location in the heart of Locarno; Piazza Grande, lake side, and train station within <10 min walking distance. Comfy bed and nice room with water cooker, tea, and coffee machine. The bathroom is shared between 3 rooms and it is very modern, spacious and clean. Hair dryer is also available. Breakfast met all our needs with bread, boiled eggs, fruit salad, a variety of jams and cereals, and coffee. When the weather is nice, breakfast is served outside on the terrace in a relaxed atmosphere. We had a great time and will come back to stay there anytime we travel to Locarno in the future.

“Carla the host was really lovely and super hospitable. The place was super clean and looked amazing. Perfect location. W”

The host is very friendly and helpful. Everything is clean and tidy. Location is great, especially for the night screening of the Locarno Film Festival.

It was a beautiful, lots of nice touches with individual works of art around the house. The room was spotless and the service was excellent and personalised.

“Villa d’Arte was an excellent B&B that we can recommend highly to anyone visiting Locarno.”

Villa d’Arte was an excellent B&B that we can recommend highly to anyone visiting Locarno. The villa is very well located in the city center and is lovingly decorated with beautiful and unique art pieces. The rooms are beautiful and clean, all the amenities we needed were provided as well. Carla was a wonderful hostess who not only prepared a delicious breakfast for us each morning, but also took the time to give us tips and recommendations for the area. Her dogs Blu and Arte, two very sweet Italian greyhounds, were the cherry on top! Thank you for your hospitality Carla, it was a pleasure to stay with you.

“Perfect B&B”

Charming villa B&B with clean quiet rooms and lots of personal touches. I was very comfortable here. Wish I’d planned to stay longer

2 best things: good location (easy walking distance to the train, and very close to the old town, and in a lovely location). And our host was kind and generous and interesting. The property is very distinctive: a beautiful building, and thoughtfully and carefully presented, and there are a lot of art works everywhere. My partner and I were just passing through, but would love to have stayed longer.

“It was a séjour home away from home. Excellent ‼️”

Well situated , calm and accessible to city centre , train station , lake & restaurants. Can’t ask for a better deal . 👍

Impressive historical villa with lots of charm and top location close to Piazza Grande (and harbour). Very personal accomodation with great service. Excellent for family and friends travelling together.

This cozy villa is located very close to the city centre, we could park the car right infront of the house during the night for free. The host is very friendly and gave us tips onto what to visit near Locarno. We had a lovely homemade breakfast, the room was clean and had everything we needed!

“Cozy local home”

Very beautiful and clean house in the center of Locarno. Rooms are cozy and confortable, homemade breakfast is tasty. The owner is really nice and helpful, I highly recommend this stay.

“Too personal”

Good mattress

“Unique hideaway with personalized service in the heart of Locarno”

The place is a true gem. We booked all three rooms, so the entire floor was ours - which made it feel very much like sharing a home. Carla, the owner, is very attentive and didn't just cater to our needs but went above and beyond when we had special requests. A bonus if you like dogs is you get to hang out with hers. The place itself is very stylish with lots of art to contemplate and a nice vibe between traditional and modern. It's a stone-throw from the Piazza Grande, but nights were quiet and peaceful (even on weekend). A truly unique place, much more personal and special than any large hotel complex these cities offer nowadays. I can recommend it for a family or a group of friends who want to have a central hideaway that feels like a home with extra perks.
