Casa Franceschini

The view

nothing to report

The apartment was very clean and fully self contained. The view was to die for and public transport was easy accessible. The host even picked us up from the bus stop.House was uphill 100 metres, but drove us up with our luggage.

Having to leave.

The host is super. The house was real house, not a cheap made B&B house for rent. I respect the works they put in the house. The view was spectacular. The location is just wonderful in a small town above Locarno. They have parks, and a grocery store where they sell fresh pastry. There are cafes and reasonable restaurants in the area, too. Our kids went crazy using buses and cable cars to go back and forth between the Locarno city centre and the lake. Thank you!

Absolutely nothing.

the location is on top of the hill overlooking the lake Maggiore. The host, Ms Franceschini and her husband are very accommodating and have done their best to help out especially when we have issues with our universal adaptor. They also allow us to washing machine and dryer for free!

Out of courtesy, perhaps host can remind guest to clear the payment for city tax, sometimes we are in rush so might overlook about the obligation. However the stay was very wonderful for me and my family.

Met at the property by the lovely owners who live downstairs. They were really helpful and allowed us the use of their washing, drying and ironing room in the basement. They made us feel very welcome during our stay . Apartment is bright and spacious with the most amazing balcony overlooking Lake Maggiore below. Little grocery shop close by opposite the church for essentials .

Wouldn’t be suitable for people with mobility issues. We were on public transport and had 30 or so steps downhill to the local bus number 3 into Locarno centre. It is possible to walk into the centre but about 20 minutes of steep steps down the hillside. The fabulous views make up for it !

we loved it here and Orselina. high up over Locarno. The stay was perfect for us and had everything we needed. we stayed 4 nights. 😄🔆

Very relaxing and full of options.
