  Liked: A very nice, small hotel with a lot of care put into everything. It’s located very centrally, yet it’s quiet and peaceful. The owners are extremely friendly, everything was very clean, and the breakfast was thoughtful and delicious. Would definitely stay here again!

  Excellent owner, comfortable stay in the heart of Locarno

  Liked: This unique little hotel is located in the old part of Locano. While close to the train station, the main square, and Lago Maggiore, our room was very quiet. The historical house has been carefully renovated and is a special experience in itself. Breakfast was excellent with homemade and local treats. Most of all, we enjoyed the nice atmosphere, and the attentive and very kind host couple.

  Disliked: nothing that we were unhappy with.

  Cute and quirky with a charming owner in a great location

  Liked: The hotel is located in the old town near the Piazza Grande. There are plenty of restaurants and a supermarket nearby. It takes less than 15 minutes to walk to the lake or the station and the nearest bus stop is about 5 minutes away. The owner is charming and despite each of us not being fluent in the other's language we managed to communicate quite well. My room was clean and comfortable with some quirky decor and I was lucky enough to have 2 balconies. I also enjoyed the treats I found on returning to my room after a day out.

  Disliked: All good.
