    Great location as base for exploring surrounding area just a short walk to train/bus stations, as well as to grocery store Coop and many restaurants around. quiet with beautiful inner courtyard. There's someone at reception during the day, except weekend. The host was very quick to respond. There's laundry room at the property with a metered washer and dryer which was convenient. Just ask for coins at reception. Note that each coin will operate the washer or dryer for 30 minutes so just use more coins as necessary. Just a note for those coming in summer months, there's no aircon, didn't matter when I was there.

    The heat can be an issue in mid summer.

    This place is perhaps a best-kept secret in Locarno as it affords closeness to the Piazza Grande, is surrounded by terrific restaurants in tiny, refreshing side streets, privacy inc,using an inner courtyard only for guests of the various rooms - each with their own outdoor courtyard table and chairs - all this managed by an extremely friendly and responsive manager Lorenzo! What more can one say?

    The bathroom was perhaps a little small, but that didn't bother us.

    The location was perfect, right in the old town of Locarno. The communication with staff was excellent and they kept us informed about check in times. It was great that coffee was also provided.

    Nothing.

    Everything. Our hosts went out of their way to be welcoming, friendly and to cater for our needs as travellers. They took their time to carefully explain everything we needed to know about the accomodation and tips for the town including maps. They always greeted us with warmth. The location was excellent in the old town and close to everything without being too busy.

    lovely little apartment that had everything we needed for our 10 night stay. Loved that it was in a local neighbourhood just off Plazza Grande. Hosts were informative but not intrusive. we shopped nearby for all our essentials. The property and Locarno made an excellent base to explore Ticino.

    I had trouble getting let in, but it wasn’t their fault because my American phone wasn’t working in Europe so I couldn’t contact them. If you are able to call it should be fine.

    The location is right in the middle of the central piazza area, very close walk to the station and easy to get to bus lines and the ferry. I loved my room, with one side facing into the beautiful private courtyard and the other overlooking the cute shopping street outside. Very nice kitchen, comfortable furniture. Barbara and Urs were so helpful in giving me advice about my trains, and very friendly and warm (comfortable communicating in English). I had my own table in the courtyard. Although there were other guests it stayed very quiet (doesn’t seem to be a party district) and I slept well every night. I would very happily stay here again in the future.

    It obviously gets quite hot during the summer there. Thankfully they have a couple of floor fans to help compensate for a lack of AC. We were willing to make this trade-off for the other benefits that come with the apartment. Washing machine is in a shared utility room, so a bit of planning is required to use it. But nothing that is not easily manageable. We never encountered a wait time.

    Nice location in the Old Town. Very gracious and inquiring hosts, helpful with everything. Quiet, with shutters to keep the light out for those needing darkness to sleep. Quite spacious which we really appreciated. Everything was well maintained and clean. Nice view from the windows. Excellent kitchen facilities.
