I'm in love with Minusio. This is my paradise now (it was in June). Hostess is really great. Breakfast was nice, although we'd have some eggs to make it perfect. Beautiful warm lake.

    The hotel is in a great location, making it easy to get around. It is very near the lake, concerts, and all venues in the city center. The breakfast is really good, offering a wide variety of options with a nice view of the lake. The staff is very friendly and helpful. You can get a free local travel ticket at the reception, which allows you to travel around the city and the Locarno area.

    Everything was wonderful! the hosts, the staff are very friendly, considerate and always ready to help :-)) The hotel itself is very nice and cosy, and it is located in a quiet area (which is important, especially in the evening). It takes only 7-8 minutes to walk to the railway station and the lake! Breakfast is really excellent, there is a selection of different kinds of food for any taste, I think :-) The wifi is a bit slow but it's not a problem.

    The host is super. The house was real house, not a cheap made B&B house for rent. I respect the works they put in the house. The view was spectacular. The location is just wonderful in a small town above Locarno. They have parks, and a grocery store where they sell fresh pastry. There are cafes and reasonable restaurants in the area, too. Our kids went crazy using buses and cable cars to go back and forth between the Locarno city centre and the lake. Thank you!
