A Sunny Swiss Corner

Locarno is a gorgeous destination on the shores of Lake Maggiore, featuring the warmest climate in Switzerland. Situated at the foot of the Alps, this colourful Swiss city is home to the world-famous Locarno International Film Festival.

Considered to be designed by Leonardo da Vinci, the 13th-century Visconteo Castle houses an important archaeological museum. The historic pilgrimage church of Madonna del Sasso stands proud above the city, overlooking an inviting harbour.

During the winter months they can also go for skiing or hiking on the Cardada Cimetta Mountain using the cable car.

Nature lovers will have the opportunity to swim in the blue waters of the Lago Maggiore, wander around the aromatic citrus trees and relax in the vineyards of the hills behind Locarno.

    Main reason to go their was the Indian Ticino Ride, Close to the lakeside and in the middle of the city we could celebrate until Midnight. Time was to short to discover all the beauty in and around. We took some short rides with our motorbikes having best weather. We will come again. Great place on earth.

    Awesome small town on the shore of Lago Maggiore.

    Awesome small town on the shore of Lago Maggiore. Clean, all buildings and streets are perfectly maintained. Very green, extremely picturesque - placed between Alps slopes and lake shores , with palms and lot of flowers growing around. Small but beautiful Old town, tasteful food. Just a small heaven on Earth, it still is expensive.

    Locarno was fantastic but the funicular operator put me off. He refused to speak and just pointed to tickets and signs when asked questions. Nobody was there and his vibe was we we're putting him out.

    Locarno has a lovely location on the shores of Lake Maggiore. In addition Locarno has developed a continuous walking and bicycle trail along the lake. We spent half a day walking to Ascona - another lake town. Another day we took the train 30 minutes to Bellinzona to explore the UNESCO world heritage castles.

    Amazing cable car then ski lift up to the top of the Alps, still snow on the peaks in early September. A beautiful situation at the top of Lake Maggiore, but considerably more expensive than the Italian resorts . Would recommend the Centrovalli train from Domodossola and the cable cars

    it was very spacious and nearby the lake/the main downtown area. very tropical-feeling area for Europe. was also walking distance from the train station. provided us with shampoo and body wash. nice kitchen with freezer, refrigerator, stoves, etc. no oven that I can remember. staff was great at responding to our needs quickly. a kitchen made it super easy for us to cook at home instead of eating out, as it is incredibly expensive in Switzerland. the balcony was pleasant in the morning.

    I just needed a one night stay in a hotel at an affordable price. The staff were extremely nice and welcoming. Had a room with a large balcony over looking the lake and the lake ferries. The breakfast was very nice and I especially loved that you could cook your own egg to your liking - Very nice🤗 Only 2 stars😉, but feels like much more. I will surely be coming back to this affordable gem❤️ Thank you Rondinella😘

    You can certainly get hotels with lake view in Locarno, but this place has the best location ever being very close to the center as well as the train station, the room was very quiet (I heard nothing during the night), and very very nice staff. It is way beyond being nice because they work at hospitality services - they are very nice and kind people and it makes the stay so much more pleasant.

The room was very big with almost everything you need. and the view was a delight (we had a room with side lake view). Breakfast very good, with plenty of choice. All in all the hotel surprised us positively.

Breakfast is basic but fresh and tasty. We arrived 1hour earlier and our rooms were already available, we appreciated that. If we visit Locarno again, will choose the same hotel.

    The hotel is charming and atypical with a funny yellow elevator. It is in a nice and quiet neighborhood with shops and restaurants. During the evening you can hear the life around and the music from the bars in the background, that gives a good idea of the ambiance of the city. The breakfast has nothing incredible but very correct for the price.
