10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
We had a great time in this spacious and well equipped apartment near the town and train station (5-10 min) and the lido (10min), ideal for families. The apartment was clean and has a lovely view on the lake. If you are travelling with public transport, its advisable to get in touch with property manager prior to travelling to arrange check-in.

The apartment was, once again, fabulous. Great views, great location, we walked everywhere. And the new air conditioning was wonderful! We have not found any other apartments in Locarno with a built-in A/C, and this was definitely welcome. Beds were super-comfortable, bathroom very nice. We will come back!
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2023
Very easy check in process even though we were arriving later than planned. Apartment was very clean and spacious. Lots of room for a family of 4. Great view from the balcony and the air conditioning is a definite plus if staying in the summer. It made sleeping very comfortable even though it was hot outside. Overall a great experience!
6 / 10Average·Apr 2024
The apartment pretty much is what it promises to be. Great location in the middle of everything, clean and relatively spacey. Kitchen was well furnished and the beds comfy. However, for people on public transport, getting the key for getting into the apartment in the next village is an inacceptable procedure. They must change that in order to get a good evaluation.
