Secret tips for trips and shoppers: Apart from many options for day trips around Lago Maggiore there are other trips which are worth recommending: The picturesque Maggiatal valley waits for you with attractive pebble beaches by the riverside, enchanting villages with stone houses and countless number of hiking trails. The Verzasca valley is popular for the gorged stone riverbed, which invites for numerous weekends for sunbathing. The district of Bellinzona with its medieval fortifications belongs to the Unesco World Heritage Site. Locarno is the ideal starting point for various shopping tours. Apart from many shops in Locarno there is Ascona with its famous beach promenade and numerous boutiques and art galleries just 5 minutes from villa Locarno. With a 30-minute drive by car you can get to the shopping paradise of Lugano or to the legendary market of Luino on the opposite side of the lake. A one-hour drive leads in to the northern Italian fashion metropolis of Milan.

Travel information: The villa Locarno is easily reachable with the public transport: The nearby Lugano airport (35min) and Milan Malpensa (90min). The Locarno railway station with its frequent train connectivity to Zurich and Lugano is just 10 minutes walk away from villa. The parking spaces available outside make even travelling with a private car easy. **For you 2010**

Perfekt für eine Großfamilie

Wir haben eine Woche lang die Vorzüge der Unterkunft genossen. Sowohl die Lage als auch die Ausstattung der Villa war super! Es ist von Allem genug vorhanden, Grundlagen an Gewürzen und ausreichend Geschirr, Bettwäsche und Handtücher. Der Kontakt mit dem Eigentümer und dem Hausmeister war sehr angenehm. Alles war für uns vorbereitet und man bekommt zum Antritt der Reise eine detaillierte Info-Broschüre über die Villa und der Umgebung. Perfekt vorbereiten! Wir können es nur weiter empfehlen.

Perfektes Haus für Familienferien

Wir haben uns in dieser altehrwürdigen, grosszügig und zweckmässig eingerichteten Villa mit Garten sehr wohl gefühlt! Auch die Lage in der Nähe von See und Bahnhof haben wir sehr geschätzt. Es war für gross und klein eine perfekte Woche. Vielen Dank! Wir kommen gerne wieder!!

Tessin, Locarno

Sehr schönes, grosses Objekt mit viel Platz! Wir haben die Terrasse auch intensiv genutzt (auch bis Mitternacht) - was bei einem Nachbarn nicht auf Gegenliebe gestossen ist (der nächste Wohnblock ist sehr nahe). Wir haben uns dann bemüht, ruhiger zu sprechen...

Wir haben das Auto die ganze Zeit nie gebraucht, alles ist zu Fuss erreichbar!

Es ist ein sehr altes Haus und deshalb auch sehr ringhörig! Aber genügend Platz und Sanitäre Anlagen. Geeigneter für Kinder welche schon selbst Treppen steigen können! Unser kleinster hat erst die ersten Schritte gemacht, und Treppe hoch war kein Problem aber runter…

Urlaub in der Villa

Wir haben den Aufenthalt genossen. Die Villa war für unsere 6-Köpfige Familie sehr gross, in Anbetracht, dass wir den ganzen Tag unterwegs waren. Dafür war es ein spezielles Ambiente. Abwicklung war sehr unkompliziert und einfach, hat alles super geklappt.
