Very comfortable stay. They were very helpful when I couldn't find the property. They sent videos before-hand on how to reach and other details. No hassles at all; very smooth check-in and check-out. Extremely gracious and patient. Location was great too.

This small and pristine clean apartment is a peaceful gem above the city, with a magnificent view to the lake. The apartment has a kettle, a microwave oven and a fridge to ensure a comfortable stay even for a longer period of time. If the weather is good, there is a nice terrace in the building to enjoy the view. And if the weather doesn't play along, the terrace is a good place for admiring rainbows in the evening sun. The host Giselle is super friendly and helpful.

Good facilities and practical location. The area was calm and quiet and moving around with the Ticino ticket was very easy and convenient (bus stop right around the corner). Good base for exploring Ticino, we did a lot of different trips during our stay (easy start by hopping on a bus right in from of the hotel). Short walk down to the waterfront with some restaurants, couple of supermarkets within a couple of minutes by foot. Starting the morning with a breakfast in the garden was a nice way to start the day (excellent breakfast buffet with plenty of choice, fresh fruit and local flavours). Friendly and helpful staff. During our stay, the hotel was fully booked but never felt busy or crowded, the atmosphere was very friendly and relaxed.

Easy to reach by bus from the town centre, with a stop right outside the door. Walking distance from the Madonna del Sasso church. Room was clean and comfortable with an amazing view down to the town and the lake. Delicious breakfast in a charming room, with plenty of choice, including homemade jams and pancakes, with eggs made fresh to order. Water, tea, syrups, biscuits and fruit available for free at any time (also coffee and alcoholic drinks to be paid for at checkout). Bed was comfortable . Very good value for Switzerland.

The location is right in the middle of the central piazza area, very close walk to the station and easy to get to bus lines and the ferry. I loved my room, with one side facing into the beautiful private courtyard and the other overlooking the cute shopping street outside. Very nice kitchen, comfortable furniture. Barbara and Urs were so helpful in giving me advice about my trains, and very friendly and warm (comfortable communicating in English). I had my own table in the courtyard. Although there were other guests it stayed very quiet (doesn’t seem to be a party district) and I slept well every night. I would very happily stay here again in the future.

The apartment is very spacious: large living room, nice balcony, large bedrooms. The location is ideal: within walking distance to centre and to the lake. Three supermarkets quite close. Lots of storage space. Livingroom had a large flat screen TV, large sofa and a large table. Host was available by phone and Whatsup (although not always able to help - see next section) As we arrived early (train schedule), the host was kind to let us leave the luggage in the apt while it was being cleaned.

Great location, and one of the few "budget" options in this area. There were many people checking in at the same time, but they were working really fast and making sure everyone gets their room as quick as possible. Great working team.
