In the description of booking .com it was mentioned that there is a parking on the site of the property and for us it was one of the decisive factor to choose this location. However, in reality it was a public parking and we always were stressed if there is an available place when we had to park the car.

The staff was very nice and helpful.

Soft classical music plays 24/7 ,(perhaps to create atmosphere) but apparently it can be turned off on site.

Things to know. You can use the communal kitchen to store a few things. If you want breakfast, you can book and get it at the hotel half a block away. It's good. The bathroom (toilet) is one floor down, and kept locked. The shower is adjacent to the room. (en-suite) I didn't know the key was hanging in the room that contains the shower. Good to know if you have to go in a hurry.

It was a little chilly in the rooms. Which was fine for me but my daughters would have preferred it a little warmer. Also the owner sent a video of how to find parking. The video showed them driving and then turning down the road to find the underground parking. I watched the video a few times but when you've never been to Locarno you will not remember what the video showed and driving while watching the video does not work. So I would have preferred a google pin of the parking or just a drawn map with correct street names. I was told parking was accessible from Via Morley but Google was not able to find that street because it is actually called Via Sara Morley. Other than that little hiccup at the beginning all was great.

Nice old villa in Locarno. Big huge ceilings. Very clean. Would be the perfect spot to stay for a few days. 10 minute walk down to the waterfront. The 2 room suit we rented had kitchen facilities. If I ever want to stay a few days in Locarno I will definitely look this place up again. Best shower ever. :)

We had looked on booking.com for places with parking included and this was not the case. We had to park in a public car park nearby which was hard to find and full when we arrived. It made the arrival very stressful. We eventually found a free space. The parking wasn’t expensive but we were led to believe from the information that it was on site. We would advise that guests are allowed to park in the hotel car park, at least for arrival to be shown to the villa first, the deal with the parking.

This was such a nice Villa with lots of shared space, beautiful room and bathrooms as well as big balcony with lake view. It was very central to walk down to the lake and felt like a nice part of town.

I read the comments before booking so I knew I would find a nice room in a villa but we were still surprised. Upon entering we already blinked at the sound of jazz music coming from the living room. The villa is surrounded by a nice furnished garden that we did not use because when we arrived in the suite we immediately sat on the terrace enjoying a beautiful view of the town and the lake at the back. The suite for 3 adults is ideal. The double bed very comfortable and large. The sofa bed ideal for one person. Bathroom with balcony.  Everything clean. In room also coffee maker, kettle and sweet snacks for waking. Cinzia&Nadia are 2 nice and welcoming Hosts who deliver a great communication even if we had a self check in

The property is beautifully refurbished with the comfort of a modern home and a charm and grandness of a 19th century villa. If you get the chance, get the suit with a panoramic view from its lavish terrace

Very comfortable stay. They were very helpful when I couldn't find the property. They sent videos before-hand on how to reach and other details. No hassles at all; very smooth check-in and check-out. Extremely gracious and patient. Location was great too.

Lack of aircon could be issue if the outside temperature would be extreme

Beautiful old Italian villa with modern facilities, spacey, good view over the lake within comfortable distance to the old town

Beautiful villa and surrounding gardens. The authentic decor and furniture added to the charm of this property. The views into the gardens were lovely.

Very clean rooms in a beautifully renovated old villa that has been decorated and furnished with lots of charm. Very centric, in walking distance to the lake and all the important and worth to visit place in Locarno. We had a wonderful and very comfortable stay!

Due to the structure of the room, only shower and sink were available immediately in the room. The toilet was private but one floor below, which is understandable but sometimes inconvenient.

Great location, the old villa is well equipped and has large common areas such as kitchen and living rooms, as well as a seminar room.

Fantastic room with a wonderful terrace in an old 19th century villa! A wonderful place to spend some time of your own 😊

Our toilet was outside of the room, I.e we had to go down and with our key open our toilet room.

It is a central location

Way too expensive. One room for 420 CHF with terrasse. The other room 390 CHF much smaller didn’t even have toilets in the room! They shamelessly abuse of high season (Moon and Stars festival). No reception and hence no full day baggage storage.

good location and breakfast, although not included in the room price of 420 CHF per night.
