Waterfront vacation rentals in Locarno

The Best Airbnb I’ve Ever Stayed In – A Magical Experience! If I could give this place 100 stars, I would happily give 101! This Airbnb exceeded all expectations. It was even more beautiful than the photos — absolutely pristine, spotless, and thoughtfully designed down to the smallest details. The location feels like stepping into a fairytale: peaceful, magical, and right on a quiet beach. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed with a bottle of bubbly and water in the fridge, along with croissants, coffee, and tea. Fresh flowers brightened both the bathroom and living room, adding such a personal, elegant touch. Isa, our host, was incredibly kind and attentive. My friend has allergies to scented products, and Isa immediately removed all air fresheners and even sealed them in a bag before taking them out of the apartment. That level of care and responsiveness truly made our stay feel special. Amazing, wonderful, magical, Tranquilo . Highly recommend it – this place is unforgettable

Schöne, saubere Unterkunft. Ideal gelegen. Tolle Restaurants in der Nähe. Strand von Ascona und Zentrum zu Fuss oder per Velo's (welche Fabio uns zur Verfügung gestellt hat) super erreichbar. Toller Gastgeber. Fabio hat uns insider Tips gegeben .... z.B. Restaurant. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Loved our stay. Truly a beautiful and quiet part of the lake. The flat was perfect for two and we loved being able to just step outside for a dip in the lake. Would highly recommend.

This place is wonderful. It is beautifully located overlooking the lake and is very peaceful. I’d recommend this place to anyone staying on the lake. The AC in the room was perfect for the summer heat and cooled it down so fast. I felt right at home in the place. Would love to stay here again

Ettore's place was perfect for my wife and me! It matched the description well and was very clean. It is perfectly located right by the Varenna square and a short walk down to the water. Ettore picked us up off of the train and helped us get settled. Upon check-out we walked to the train station which is about 10-minutes away. The best part of the apartment is its location. Out the front door there is an excellent restaurant (Il Cavitappi) and wine shop (In Vinis Veritas). Albergo del Sole is a couple of (short) blocks away and is perfect for pizza. Gelato and breakfast stops are also very close. We rented a boat for the day and the dock is also very close to the apartment.

The stay in this apartment was absolutely exceptional! First of all, a huge thanks to the owner Allesandra - extremely helpful, cordial and always available. The contact was immediate and very professional, which made us feel taken care of from the first moment. The location of the apartment is a huge advantage - everything within reach, and in addition a breathtaking view, which impressed us every day. The apartment itself is furnished to a very high standard - everything thought out in the smallest detail, very clean, comfortable and stylish. The quality of the equipment and attention to detail definitely exceeded our expectations. We definitely recommend this place to everyone and we will definitely come back at the next opportunity!

I would give this place ten stars if I could! The view is amazing. The place was just like the pictures and it was nice to have a little kitchenette. Gianluca was so kind and a great host! Definitely would recommend!

We will be back! Sylvia was a great host, offering so many suggestions and with train construction a mess her husband helped us get from Lecco and he was so personable and kind! This place is beautiful and located in the perfect spot within walking distance to the lakefront restaurants and shops! It was like a dream staying here! Even left us a prosecco to toast our arrival in a heavenly place! Thank you for making our stay perfect!!

Monica’s place was outstanding The pictures did not do justice to the views Wow! Monica was very good communicating with us right from the start Check in was very straightforward and she even left us a bottle of Prosecco and water Monica is very thoughtful and her place was spotless and well furnished She responded very promptly to all our questions and offered great recommendations for transport , shops and restaurants Overall our stay was beyond our expectations and we are definitely coming back next year Hopefully by which time the C10 bus may be regular 😂 and on time !

Enjoyed the tranquility and beauty of this place for four days. Everything spotless - and with all amenities. House sits in a private park with a couple of other houses. True paradise - we would love to come again. You can walk down to the lago - though ended up taking the car most of the time to get to restaurants. A couple of very nice ones in the area - Riva/Shaka (beach club vibe), Osteria Vairano (magnificent view), Rodolfo (excellent local cuisine)

dès notre arrivée, Carmen nous a très bien expliqué, durant notre séjour, elle a su répondre à toutes nos questions. Je vous recommande ce logement, il est vraiment qualitatif et a répondu à toutes mes attentes. S’il fallait revenir, je reviendrai dans ce logement !

From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the unbeatable location of this home. Being directly on the lake, the views are nothing short of magical. Waking up in the morning and looking out over the water from the bedroom felt like something out of a dream — peaceful, serene, and impossibly beautiful. The lake was quite literally at our doorstep. The home itself was spotless, thoughtfully decorated, and full of charm. Every little detail was taken care of, and we felt instantly at ease. A special shoutout to our host, who went above and beyond when we realized last minute that we had forgotten to include our mother-in-law as a guest. It was entirely our oversight, and yet the host was kind, understanding, and incredibly accommodating. That kind of graciousness makes all the difference when you’re traveling. We can’t say enough good things about this place — the comfort, the views, the hospitality. If you’re lucky enough to find availability here, book it. Can’t wait to return

Wonderful place, with a pool and a view of the lake, a great destination.

Very responsive and easy/flexible check in process. Historical spot with a great location and very kind hosts. Would easily stay again and recommend that if you’re questioning whether to book your stay— book it here!

They say that Bellagio is the jewel of lake como , i believe its Where you stay and also the host , I have been in different places with different and marvelous location but nothing comparable with a place that you feel comfortable in during your stay,and what even makes your stay beyond expectations is the host and i believe Deborah did really made things lovely and easy specially for someone that is not familiar with local customs or the location Simply one of the most beautiful experiences i’v ever had and strongly recommend the place as the photos does not do justice to the place trust me

Luisella and her husband were very friendly and helpful getting us settled. They took the time to share recommendations for restaurants and hikes. They also had a map handy and wrote out the places they were recommending. The house was fabulous and in a great location - loved being able to listen to the nearby waterfall when we had our windows open. Also appreciated ability to walk to downtown Varenna. It was only a 20 minute walk and preferred to have a house in a quieter place. Our stay was perfect in every way!

Ottima casa, ottima vista. Appartamento completo di tutto davvero, come essere in albergo, ci siamo trovati molto bene e sicuramente torneremo!

The view is adorable. The location is the best. Car park is crucial to enjoy your stay and it was available upon request for free.

sehr freundliche Gastgeberin, wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt! Sehr schönes Apartment mit toller Aussicht. Für unseren Aufenthalt hat alles wunderbar gepasst und die Unterkunft hat zu der Beschreibung gepasst. Wir können einen Aufenthalt nur empfehlen!

We loved, this apartment, Bellano and Gianpaolo in that order. The apartment, while in an historic, older building has been completely remodeled and feels like new. It overlooks Lake Como and is an easy walk to restaurants, cafes, sights and the ferry terminal. Gianpaolo was lovely to work with and made sure we were well oriented when we checked in. I only wish we could have stayed longer. -Vince

What a great place with an exceptional location right beside the lake! Andrea was very communicative/responsive and gave great advice upfront. He is super relaxed and flexible. Especially the location/view of the appartment was beyond expectation. Due to the high temperatures during all days (above 30) the appartment could get a little warm, but Andrea put some ventilation in the bed- and living room. Would most surely recommand!

Sehr schöne und gut ausgestattete Wohnung. Ideal für einen Bade und Wanderurlaub am Luganer See. Tolle Lage in angenehmen Ort ohne Trubel.

Es war ein sehr schöner Aufenthalt. Die Lage, der Blick auf den See und der schöne Pool haben uns sehr gut gefallen. Einzig die Parkplätze sind etwas zu klein. Vielen Dank an Alberto, der ein ausgezeichneter Gastgaber ist.

Absolutely wonderful stay 😊 the flat and the views are absolutely gorgeous!! In a quieter area of lake Como, but it is an absolute gem. Still plenty of bars/restaurants within walking distance, and a little shop as well. There is a wonderful bar/cafe a 10 min walk down the lake front, which is the best place I’ve had my morning coffee. Musso will now be our base for future visits to Lake Como - there are few tourists but a 10 min drive to Menaggio where you can catch the ferry to Como, Bellagio and Varenna (among others). We didn’t go to Como, but Varenna and Bellagio were each a 15 min boat ride. Simone was extremely helpful with recommendations, and also when we extended our trip for a few days. You must catch the sunrise on the balcony - it is magical, as is the whole place! Plenty of parking, and a little beach right infront of the apartment. Cannot recommend enough, and we will be back. Thank you Simone 😊
