Located 20 metres from the shores of Lake Maggiore in Minusio, Osteria La Riva offers a room with a balcony and lake views. The restaurant serves traditional and international cuisine.

The room also features a spacious bathroom and a sofa, and is fitted with wooden floors.

Just AMAZING. The room had everything you need. It was very comfortable with a very big TV, with Tea making possibilities, minibar. The bed was very comfortable. We had a small balcony looking at the lake. Having breakfast in the morning and enjoying your coffee directly on the lake. It was like a dream. The personel was very friendly and helpful and made everything possible to have a great stay there. We even got a bottle of wine as a small present when we were leaving. Parking space is organised and near by and for free. Internet was working perfectly. The city center was 20 min walking distance. There was a delicious restaurant just under the room. (which can be a bit loud for some people. for us it was not an issue). THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT STAY. We will come back :)

Situated right at the lake promenade, only a few steps from the ship mooring and Locarno's Piazza Grande, the Al Pozz offers you superb views of Lake Maggiore.

The chef creates delicious dishes of the Ticino and Italian cuisine. The restaurant can also be used for various events.

I loved the attention to detail and all the help with travelling from another country. I even got quick answers to questions before I arrived. ‘Great holiday destination, close to much dining.

    Great view of the hotel garden, city, lake and mountains- all in one. Extremely helpful and very kind hotel personnel, excellent hotel restaurant! Breakfast and dinner really tasty and well presented dishes, amazing taste! Highly enjoyed breakfast and drinks on terraces with such beautiful views. We appreciated the large room and bathroom, well designed and extremely clean. Bedding was comfortably large with medium-hard mattresses. Hotel is 3 stops by historic funicular railway making trip from city center to hotel charming and effortless.

    Great location, freshly renovated, great staff. Very clean, quiet (our rooms faced the inner courtyard). The hotel restaurant offers 10% discount for hotel guests, food was very good. Breakfast is basic but fresh and tasty. We arrived 1hour earlier and our rooms were already available, we appreciated that. If we visit Locarno again, will choose the same hotel.

    Well equipped quaint cottage with a magnificent view of the lake, good parking close by. Extremely friendly and helpful host who prepared delicious extensive breakfast. Nice interior, prosecco and pastry as welcome. Lovely little village located up the mountain above Lago Maggiore. The loggia where we could sit and sip wine was a hidden gem.

    Andrea was such a fantastic and welcoming host! So kind and friendly, he truly made the one night we spent there memorable! The check in and check out process was very easy and the breakfast was just perfect on the outside terrace in the sun! He upgraded us to a beautiful room facing the lake. The common areas are so well thought out and the boutique hotel has a very relaxed vibe, which we loved! Highly recommend this place for singles, couples or families!
