Housed in a restored 15th-century building, this boutique hotel is located in the heart of Locarno, just 50 meters from the famous Piazza Grande, and is a great option if you would like to base yourself in Locarno.

There are 9 rooms in total, each individually designed with a unique theme. While I didn’t get to peak at the other rooms… I can only speak of my own oriental-themed room, which was spaciously decorated with warm touches of gold and brown hues. All rooms are equipped with modern amenities like flat-screen TVs, coffee machines, shower amenities and large spacious beds.

Now I really need to give a shoutout to the garden café downstairs, because the breakfast here seriously made our mouths water EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!!!

This café was only recently opened by a young lady called Suzanne, who wanted to inject a change in the atypical Swiss breakfast. So here, you won’t find your usual ham, cheese and baguette. Instead, expect delightful, refreshing options such as banana pancakes topped with nuts coconut flakes, wholesome muesli and open bagels deliciously stuffed with wild rockets, bacon and feta cheese.

It was honestly the first thing we look forward to everyday when we wake up, and fuelled us with good carbs to start off our daily adventures. No kiding when I say i will gladly book this hotel again just for the delish breakfast!!!
