Great Location with Views

My husband and 12 year old son stayed here in August. It was perfect for us. The rental agency was very helpful and accomodating.The apartment was clean and had the views that were portrayed on the website. It was in the heart of Locarno and that is exactly what we needed and wanted. We loved that we could sit on the balcony and that we could walk everywhere as we did not have a car. We visited Old Town Locarno, Ascona, Lugano, Gandria and spent an entire afternoon at the Lido...just a short walk from the apartment. Ou son loved it...even swam in the lake....chilly! We arrived Saturday afternoon and the info book that the owners provided was so helpful. We dined at several at the restaurants...yummy food! We made several trips to Al Porto....fantastic coffee and desserts! I loved Locarno and the climate and the food...and the water. It was a fantastic trip!

It's a lovely apartment, with good conveniences, and a
special location in the center of Locarno. It has
wonderful views of the lake, and dining on the balcony
is a special treat. We'll certainly return - hopefully for
more than a week next time. Jim Fratto

The apartment is lovely and well-stocked. We felt very at home here. It is also in a great location with a lovely view of the water. Your house book is very helpful.

This was a very excellent renting experience.

We had an excellent stay! The views from the veranda were spectacular -- especially Lago Maggiore. At night the nights all around on the mountains made us feel very select and special. Our grandson loved watching the boats on the lake.

The apartment is also very well situated near central Locarno, within easy walking distance of the shops and other facilities. The apartment we found spacious and well-appointed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

There aren't too many places that can rival Locarno scenery, climate, food, and general quality of life. Both Locarno and your apartment were just about perfect during our stay, and we would love to (and hope to) do it all again.

Peter and Edita at Hol-Ap were very responsive and seemed to be taking good care of the place for you.
