The owner, Fernando, was most welcoming and helpful. Our room was spacious, very clean and comfortable. The included breakfast was perfect for us and it was nice to be served tea and juice on the small terrace looking out to the mountains. The location is quiet, especially at night, with a bus stop very close (less than 100m) and a train station only a five minute walk away, there are a couple of good restaurants within 5 minutes walk. Staying at this Garni entitled us both to a Ticino tourist ticket that allows free travel on public transport during the whole stay which we made full use of, including a trip on the Centovalli Railway for which the Swiss section between Locarno and Camedo is totally free of charge. Great walks and swimming in the pools between various locations in the river are located around the Verzazca valley, only a 20 minute drive away.

Easy checkin (key waiting for me in an envelope when I arrived). Pleasant hosts serving a nice continental breakfast. (Note that they do not speak English. Your choice of German or Italian.) Easy walk from the Gordola train station. Local train and bus free with booking.

The room was comfortable on a cool spring day if you kept the window open. In summer it would get very stuffy.

Very nice host ! Thank you for taking care of us Convenient place with a terrasse Nice view on the mountain Easy to travel around with trains and busses.(ask for the Ticino card). The train station is in a walking distance

The location inside the village as the hotel is very close to the road. Dont be afraid of the noise if you open the window in the morning or late afternoon (no problem at night)

location next to train station which was ideal for me. excellent cleanliness of the whole place. good self service breakfast. friendly inn-keeper who even prepared the coffee for me at breakfast.

3 floors up no lift and narrow staircases, ok but maybe not ideal for everybody. room under the roof has sloping ceilings and may not be to everyone taste.

Good location close to the train station. Very nice breakfast. The owner is very welcoming, providing information and the Ticino card for free traveling in the area. Great place to explore vally Verzasca from.

It’s the perfect base to explore Valle Verzasca, Locarno and Lugano especially with the Ticino ticket that is included. Accommodation is basic but comfortable.

Wifi kept dropping in our room and was slow.

Everything was great this makes my top 3 places I’ve ever stayed

I think breakfast could have been better but for the price of the stay it was still really good.

We felt so welcome. The location was perfect for the train station and bus to Tenero. Breakfast was good. Good restaurants nearby. We will be back.

nice two floor apartment in the historic building very close to locarno and verzasca valley self check in patio

a bit hard to find the entrance to the apartment after you get your keys at front door and no one is around. consists of two bedrooms, there’s a living area missing. very close window-to-window with neighboring apartment.

Clean room and bathroom, friendly owner. Gordola is a nice location to stay in when visiting Locarno.

Rooms are not numbered, but named after the zodiac sign (there is a small zodiac sign drawing next to the rooms door). It was not easy to recognize the room name from a hand writing note left in the envelope with a room key. Be ready to know zodiac signs in italien language! Our room was on a ground floor and I did not like there was a smoking area just under the window.
