The hotel is in an excellent location on the Lake. Loved having the boat dock and rail station so close. The front desk staff was excellent and were helpful every day. The breakfast was very good. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Hotel Bellavista Locarno, hotel in Locarno

Hotel Bellavista Locarno is located in Locarno, within 1.1 km of Piazza Grande Locarno and 4.6 km of Golfclub Patriziale Ascona. With free WiFi, this 3-star hotel has a terrace and a bar.

Excellent place. This hotel is Top quality in a modest setting (no gold and plastic blingbling). The shower is excellent, the best I have ever had (and I had a lot!), it is practical, easy to use, and offers enough space. The parking place under the building is very good and safe, there is a good lift to every floor. You'll meet an excellent team here, they enjoy pleasing the guests to the max. Host Nuno is correct and helpful with a smile. He'll give you free public transportation tickets and a card for a 10% discount in a good restaurant. At the booking, we had requested a vegetarian breakfast and were spoiled with a great choice of good and healthy stuff that was arranged especially for us. This is excellent quality for a very modest price.

FAQs about hotels in Locarno








A Sunny Swiss Corner

Locarno is a gorgeous destination on the shores of Lake Maggiore, featuring the warmest climate in Switzerland. Situated at the foot of the Alps, this colourful Swiss city is home to the world-famous Locarno International Film Festival.

Considered to be designed by Leonardo da Vinci, the 13th-century Visconteo Castle houses an important archaeological museum. The historic pilgrimage church of Madonna del Sasso stands proud above the city, overlooking an inviting harbour.

Travellers can stroll around the narrow alleys of the old town, visit one of the antique shops, admire the old churches with Italian Baroque style or dine in one of the traditional restaurants near the main square of Piazza Grande. During the winter months they can also go for skiing or hiking on the Cardada Cimetta Mountain using the cable car.

Nature lovers will have the opportunity to swim in the blue waters of the Lago Maggiore, wander around the aromatic citrus trees and relax in the vineyards of the hills behind Locarno.

    Main reason to go their was the Indian Ticino Ride, Close to the lakeside and in the middle of the city we could celebrate until Midnight. Time was to short to discover all the beauty in and around. We took some short rides with our motorbikes having best weather. We will come again. Great place on earth.

    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.

    Amazing cable car then ski lift up to the top of the Alps, still snow on the peaks in early September. A beautiful situation at the top of Lake Maggiore, but considerably more expensive than the Italian resorts . Would recommend the Centrovalli train from Domodossola and the cable cars

    Hotel Bellavista Locarno exceeded our expectations. The bed was one of the most comfortable I ever slept on. The shower has the perfect pressure and temperature regulation. The towels are big, soft and clean. Breakfast is diverse and abundant (and the croissants were delicious!). The complimentary Caffe Borbone capsules in the room were really good. But above all, we want to highlight Nuno's wonderful attention and his staff simpathy.

    It's a very nice, small, cute hotel. The staff is super-friendly, and helpful. A nice bonus when checking in was receiving a pass for everyone to get a discount on public transport, and the funicular train. The breakfast was delicious. The hotel is located in the centre, and at the lake front. As a result almost everything (like bars, restaurants, and boat dock) is within a short walking distance.

    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. :)

    The balcony is very nice. The apartment is of good size and very new. The bed is comfortable. There is a coffee machine with plenty of capsules, something unusual and very welcome. It is somehow between Locarno and Ascona, so both can be reached by walk. However, busses and trains stop nearby.
