Hotel dell'Angelo, hotel in Locarno

The Dell'Angelo Hotel is centrally located at Piazza Grande in the center of Locarno. It is just steps from the train station, shops and Lago Maggiore.

Beautifully laid out in every way. Friendly efficient staff. If it weren’t so darn hot (and we didn’t have to get home) we’d still be there. Thank you so much. Nice restaurant too!

    We were in Locarno for 1.5 days.

    We were in Locarno for 1.5 days. There were many places of interest to visit and we had to rush a bit. Perhaps another 48 hours would have made the visit even more relaxing. The lake on a sunny day is fantastic as is the trip to Cimetta on the cable car, and the chair lift. There is a vast number restaurants with a wide range of menus It is an easy city to get around. Hotels provide free public transport passes for the duration of your stay. It is also next door to Ascona, which offers a different holiday experience, similar to small Italian lake side villages. Here too there is a wide choice of Restaurants particularly those overlooking the lake. Its a short bus ride from Locarno to Ascona. Don't be just focused on Locarno.

    Very enjoyable. Visconteo Castle was interesting and the funicular to Madonna del Sasso was fun. Good pizza at the Ristorante Funicolare. Be sure to take the tram further up to Cardada. The views were well worth the trip!

    A small, yet beautiful city on the Swiss part of Lago Maggiore which, for those who are on a circuit, is a must-come-to in order to visit Sacro Monte Madonna del Sasso. A jewel with an amazing view over the city and the lake, accessible both by foot or by the funicular (lovely).

    Just loved the light, spacious 50 m2 apartment (an upgrade at no extra costs) with a great 180 degree view on both the lake 'Lago Maggiore' as well as as the mountains. There was an overall very pleasant vibe in the hotel and staff was super friendly. Breakfast was good too and the breakfast room (=restaurant) had a great ambiance thanks to the glass ceiling and half-circle shape. Location was pretty unbeatable, like an island in the center of Locarno.
