    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

    The hotel is situated near the train station which is very convient. The room was spacious, with comfy bed, nice balcony and coffee-tea facilities. You have mini bar available for extra charge. Breakfast was very rich and tasty. Staff of the hotel should get extra credits for their work - Mr Norbert at the reception was extremly helpful, he explained where to go, provided additional information upon my questions - great hospitality and customer approach. I fully recommend to stay here.

    The breakfast was awesome - according to my sweetheart; I had a triathlon compettition and had to leave early in the morning. The staff made sure to have "my" (small) breakfast ready earlier, awesome service! The location is very central right next to the train station, that fit our bill. The bed was exceptional, one of the most comfortable beds I have EVER had, and I slept in a LOT of hotel beds ;-) The staff was super friendly and very accomodating, mille grazie!

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!

    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.
