    Die Lage ist super. Die Schlafzimmer sind gross. Küche gut ausgestattet. Da es 3 Schlafzimmer hat gibt es nur im Flur ein kleiner Sitzbereich, jedoch hat es in der Küche einen grossen Esstisch. Gute infos für Schlüsselkasten und Wohnungsfindung...

    We had such a lovely stay here! The apartment was spotless, open, airy, and full of light. The location is incredible — a castle is literally right next door, which we enjoyed exploring. The neighborhood itself felt so alive. On our first night...

Company information

Home is where your heart is. We want you to feel right at home, even when you're on holidays! With experience both in real estate (Livio) and hospitality (Carolina), we became very excited with the idea of building the best vacation home service in the region, Nostrana Holiday Homes. Our goal is to craft apartments with distinctive decor. We aim for our guests to reminisce about their vacation even after a decade, recalling the unique details of their stay in Locarno and not forgetting the special care we provided them. Our life philosophy revolves around approaching everything with love, and dedication, and offering our best while nurturing those around us. Raising three wonderful children has reinforced these values for us, inspiring us to incorporate them into every aspect of our lives, personally and professionally. We look forward to greet you at our apartments and explore the wonders of our region.

Property information

This lovely apartment welcomes you with three bright and comfortable bedrooms, each featuring a queen-size bed (160x200 cm), a dedicated workstation, and a clothes rack—perfect for both rest and remote work. Two charming balconies offer a peaceful corner to enjoy a coffee or glass of wine, with views of the city and the inner courtyard. The spacious kitchen is the heart of the home, with a long table for six, a Nespresso machine, dishwasher, microwave, oven, and everything you need to cook and share meals in good company. The bathroom includes a bathtub, ideal for relaxing after a day of exploring. At the entrance, you’ll find space to store shoes and hang coats—every detail is thoughtfully arranged for your comfort. Located on the first floor with elevator access, the apartment sits in the vibrant heart of Locarno, just one minute from Piazza Grande and surrounded by cafés, shops, and lively streets full of character.

Neighbourhood information

The apartment is located in Locarno’s charming old town, rich in history, culture, and architecture. We are right next to Piazza Grande, the city’s vibrant heart, known for its arcades and the Locarno Film Festival. From there, we head to Castello Visconteo, dating back to 998. Once much larger, it housed the Civic and Archaeological Museum and played a key role in the 1925 Locarno Peace Conference. Nearby is Il Rivellino, a bastion linked to Leonardo da Vinci, and Casa Casorella, known for its stucco decorations. The Old Town is a maze of narrow streets, courtyards, and historic buildings. Due to elevation differences, the easiest way up is via the elevator and walkway near the roundabout. Piazzetta delle Corporazioni and the charming Cittadella and S. Antonio streets are must-sees. The Casa Rusca Art Gallery, housed in an 18th-century residence, features a permanent Jean Arp collection. A key stop is Piazza and Church of S. Antonio, built in 1664 and later redesigned after a collapse in 1863. Don’t miss the Altar of the Dead Christ inside. We then pass Casa del Negromante, a noble residence, and Palazzo Morettini, now home to the Cantonal Library. Returning to Piazza Grande, we admire the Casa dei Canonici, with its private portico, before ending at Chiesa Nuova, a Baroque church with intricate stuccoes, frescoes, and a striking façade.
