This Place is very charming, the staff is very welcoming and warm. The manager/owner loves this place and it shows. Our room was very clean and had a nice view over the lake. The location is great, just a couple of minutes from the lake. I really enjoyed the coffee, it was good quality, same as the breakfast, the honey was delicious. It would be helpful to have some sort of hangers or a chair in the shared shower to place the personal belongings.

We had a great time in Locarno. We booked the rooms with the shared bathroom, and even though it's not the same as having your own bathroom, I have to say they were very clean and did not bother us to use them at all. The location is great, there is a bus stop right next to the hotel and you can go to the center and other towns easily. The service was excellent, Everyone was very nice and helpful. And the breakfast was delicious, we enjoyed it every morning :)

The staff were very kind and also very helpful before our stay. The whole team was very hospitable and did their best to help us to feel at home. They also gave us practical and very useful information for travelling around Ticino. The place was very clean and comfortable and the location is very good.

I only found the hairdryer late into our stay. It would have been more convenient to have a hand towel in the shared bathroom and soap in the bathroom in the lobby.

Outstanding! Lovely villa: Excellently renovated with taste and style. Beautiful garden - well maintained. Excellent breakfast. Property maintained to the highest possible standard. Immaculately clean. Managed to perfection by Andrea; attentive, kind but in no way overbearing. Highly recommended!

The feel of the hotel, very nice & very looked after and clean. On both days the staff was really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious with loads of different breads, brioche, tarts, eggs, cereals, meat, cheese etc. Coffee was delicious too.

A few minus: no elevator to our room on the 3rd floor & slanted ceilings were we bumped our heads a few times.

The communication with the staff is excellent they are all responsive at all times, the location is great the view in our room is stunning we enjoyed the breakfast. We recommend this hotel for group of friends of family who wants to have a nice vacation in locarno😊

Very nice looking renovated hotel with super friendly and helpful staff. Every time we had a wish or a question, they helped us immediately. The pictures in the hall show the past of the building, which was quite a ruin before the renovation. Now it looks amazing. It breaths the spirit from the old times and yet offers modern and comfy rooms. Breakfast was great with served coffee or hot tea and a good choice of food. We loved the vintage balcony!

I have been coming back to this hotel regularly over many years so they must be doing something right! It's been fascinating to see how the place has evolved over time and the renovations since my last (pre-Covid) visit are welcome. The addition of an EV charger is a definite plus. The hotel overall is characterful, friendly and well situated. There may be more luxurious places to stay in Locarno but none with as much quirky charm.

The hotel is in a great location and with wonderful views of the mountains. We really liked the atmosphere in the room and in the hotel. Good service and delicious breakfast.

The only comment: I would like there to be slippers in the room. Since the room was not warm enough for the January weather and the floor was very cold.

The room had a fantastic view although the window was small and high up . The area was quiet and close to the lovely port area, shops and eating places . It was a ten minute walk to the bus/train station. The staff were attentive and helpful and breakfast was nice.

The room had sloping beams which limit the head space in the room. Window was small.
