    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.

    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

    The property is a an abandoned hotel, which structure is ri-organized to be a new hotel. The location and the position are nice, but the building was not renovate at all, not even a little bit (so there are abandoned space everywhere) and the fact that there is literally no one but clients didn’t make me feel so comfortable and protected during the night. Literally anyone can enter there. The breakfast in the morning was ok, there were 3 people from the staff. The cleaning is just sufficient, but it could have been cleaner.

    We have had an extremely nice stay at Hotel Millennium. My Wife had her birthday during our stay and the hotel owners and staff really spoiled us with their attention. We were there for the Locarno Film Festival and the hotel is very well situated, the lake in front and the Locarno city center within a few minutes walk. The hotel is a very cute, cozy and beautiful little place. Exceptional to find such a hotel in such a perfect location. We will return for sure!

Great breakfast with fresh orange juice, croissants, breads, homemade jam, amazing prosciutto, cheeses,... We also had dinner at the restaurant. Great food made with fresh produce from the region. The owner and her colleagues were all super nice. Overall a very nice vacation in Ticino.

    Nice hotel at a good location. It has ample room for parking but know that you will have to drive through a very, very narrow alley on your way to it. It was a bit daunting at first but worked out well, and we have a fairly large car. The breakfast was great, it's served a la carte (you make notes on a sheet of paper what you want to order) and the friendly staff brings it to you.

    The hotel is charming and atypical with a funny yellow elevator. It is in a nice and quiet neighborhood with shops and restaurants. During the evening you can hear the life around and the music from the bars in the background, that gives a good idea of the ambiance of the city. The breakfast has nothing incredible but very correct for the price.
