    A small, yet beautiful city on the Swiss part of Lago Maggiore which, for those who are on a circuit, is a must-come-to in order to visit Sacro Monte Madonna del Sasso. A jewel with an amazing view over the city and the lake, accessible both by foot or by the funicular (lovely).

    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.

    Just loved the light, spacious 50 m2 apartment (an upgrade at no extra costs) with a great 180 degree view on both the lake 'Lago Maggiore' as well as as the mountains. There was an overall very pleasant vibe in the hotel and staff was super friendly. Breakfast was good too and the breakfast room (=restaurant) had a great ambiance thanks to the glass ceiling and half-circle shape. Location was pretty unbeatable, like an island in the center of Locarno.

    The location and the view from the balcony was superb. The room was very clean and people at reception were nice. Having an air-condition in the room during the heatwave was useful. We used the hotel bikes to ride around Locarno and Ascona for a day and the bikes were in a good shape and well maintained.

    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. :)
