Incredible stay

Family owned, amazing stay and gracious hosts. The co-owner, (Manuel) was helpful planning our stay and was so excited to show us his hotel. From the unique Grotto, its history to the history of Lacarno. His English was impeccable and we felt very welcome and relaxed.

charming hotel, front desk guy was SO helpful & nice. it is hard to find - i stopped at a pharmacy to ask for location, they didn't know & it was about 3 minute walking beyond. to find it, you can walk from the train station (10-15 min) towards the main plaza, keep going almost to the end. on the right tucked in the back, after the shops, is the entrance. only complaint is no tv channels in english. which normally isn't important, except that everything in the town except restaurants closes by 6pm so relaxing in the evening with tv is not going to happen. otherwise, loved it!

Posizione ottima. Sulla piazza centrale,ma ben insonorizzata dai rumori esterni. Scomoda al 4 piano, l ascensore arriva solo al 3. La nosrra stanzacera in mansarda, proprio a tetto,. La pecca piu grande è l odore di mangiare perenne, h24,dai corridoi fino alla camera. Per il resto. Potrebbero migliorare tante cose...cmq in generale non male.
