Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Locarno

This is a gem and would always go back again, when visiting Lake Como. The rooftop terrace is really outstanding and with a breathtaking view over the lake. Will be back :)

Absolutely rustic and beautiful in every way. Off the beaten path but perfect for the views, quiet, and seclusion. We will never for get this stay and all of the valleys we explored while we were there.

Lovely place and stay.

The apartment is very traditional in an old stone house, located in the beautiful Verzasca Valley. The location is the ideal place to explore the valley with the beautiful nature, but also Locarno and Ascona. Please note: the place is on a reservoir, you can't swim there! There are also no supermarkets, bakeries, etc. in the valley, so it is best to do your shopping in advance. The apartment itself is very clean, the kitchen fully equipped, the location very quiet. We were there as a family with 2 children and felt very comfortable. (There are steep stairs in the house, not suitable for very small children). Overall highly recommended!

Spectacular scenery and beautifully designed property

This home is in an outstanding location overlooking the lake and Lugano. We were blown away by the view from every window. The location was very peaceful, and the home was extremely well-stocked. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony or the covered deck every day (depending on how hot it was!). The home is located a quick drive to downtown Lugano, and a short drive to the top of Monte Bre (highly recommend!) and to Gandria (also highly recommend). We fell in love with Lugano and the surrounding area thanks in part to this house…we will definitely be back.

We enjoyed the stay! Gandria is a picturesque, small village and despite the quiet, tranquil location, there are several restaurants and cafes where you can stop. Louise's apartment has been designed with great care and has everything you need for a few relaxing days.

Very cozy and romantic place for couples with a garage, making things extremely comfortable and convenient.

We truly enjoyed our stay at Casa Cecilia!! It was a beautiful apartment with a lovely balcony. The area is extremely peaceful and with great access to neighborhood restaurants, the nearby cities of Ascona, Locarno, the lake, the mountains, and plenty of hiking opportunities. It was a great holiday, and Petra was an excellent host, very friendly and great with the communication.

Fantastic apartment, view, swimming pool and communication throughout. We really enjoyed our stay. Jonathan was very kind and allowed us to check out late so the kids could have a swim before we headed home!

This is my second time staying in Tenero in the Grottino and only experienced it positively. I felt comfortable and welcome in this cozy apartment and the beautiful garden. Esther is a warm host – thank you so much for letting me stay in the Grottino again.

Beautiful apartment above Locarno. Very good and quick to reach by public transport. Communication and check-in was straightforward and fast. We were warmly welcomed with wine from Ticino and cold water in the fridge. The apartment was comfortably furnished and very well equipped as well as clean. Perfect size for 2 people. The view from the terrace was amazing! We can definitely recommend the accommodation.

Great place in fantastic location. Apartment was better than photos. Stay was very enjoyable.

We spent here two nights. The apartment was clean, located in a very nice and quiet area, with a very cozy bed, a well organized kitchen and a spacious bathroom. Daniel was very nice host, which answered to all of my questions in a very short time and always with kindness. Recommended 😊

We had a very nice time at Bijou Cardada - also favored by the weather luck. The apartment was sparkling clean, well equipped, we lacked nothing. The only downside is the approximately 135 steep steps up to the Cardada and also up to the Cimetta. The lugging of our suitcases and groceries was tedious despite the energetic help of two very athletic men. If we had known that from the beginning, we would have packed differently or only taken backpacks. Next time we'd know. Good communication with the host.

I was in Locarno for work. The apartment was centrally located and therefore perfect. It was also just like in the photos. We felt very comfortable. Communication with Umberto was very good. He was very proactive and quick to respond.

Super nice, clean apartment. Very nicely decorated. It had everything you need to relax. Great location.

Place was as described—clean, comfortable, and in a great location. The host was friendly and responsive, making the experience smooth.

If everything fits, you look for what doesn't fit. We didn't find anything!

Located in a fantastically beautiful location – ideal for relaxing. Andrea and Raffi were very warm, wonderfully uncomplicated and helpful, we felt welcome from the first moment. Everything was very clean and lovingly furnished, you can tell that a lot of heart is put into it. We will be happy to come back!

We felt at home with Sonja from the first reception. We lacked nothing in the apartment. It is fully equipped for physically disabled guests, including sewing kits and small board games. We felt a family atmosphere throughout the premises, with toys and equipment for children. Sonja was always obliging and helpful to us. A stay that we already count among our most beautiful vacation accommodations and can recommend without reservation.

Best way to describe this location is STUNNING! The views are breath taking - more beautiful in person than the photos! We loved our stay - hard to beat having morning coffee & evening wine surrounded by such beauty! The night view when the lights appear is as beautiful as the day view! A car was necessary but well worth it. David was a very responsive and helpful host & we would definitely stay again if we have that opportunity!

Giovanni was a fantastic host! He is extremely responsive, proactive and always willing to help. We had a number of questions about the area throughout our week long stay and was happy to assist however he could. The unit itself is absolutely beautiful with unbelievable views… even better in person! There are a number of great restaurants within walking distance (the Bar across the street was particularly great for breakfast!). We would recommend having a car while you are there as the ferry service is a bit frustrating to navigate (especially as a non-local). Parking is paid during the high season, but usually easy to find a spot (there is a small lot directly across the street). Couldn’t recommend this place enough, Giovanni is a great host.

We had very relaxing days with Katrin, who welcomed us very warmly. The apartment was very clean and the view of the lake was beautiful! You are surrounded by a beautiful green garden, where we were even allowed to use the fresh herbs. We also liked the possibility of renting the two SUPs to paddle on the lake. We will be happy to come back. 🥰
