The decoration was super beautiful. The village is nice and quiet. The waterfall was welcome after our hike and then we enjoyed the jacuzzi! The kitchen is perfectly equipped. We were able to get some nice typical food from the caterer in the village and enjoy a nice dinner « at home ». I warmly recommend this place.

Nice design and clean
We did not know fresh bread was delivered in a bag on the front door. We missed some cheese and meats for breakfast

super private location. very unique. the building itself has a lot of personality. great contrast between architecture and interior design.
bed and pillows weren’t too comfy. the heating system was very noisy. toilet very very small.

The room we stayed in was so beautiful! The aesthetic gave a historical flare. The bed was so comfortable and the kitchen upstairs was well stocked. Parking was easy. Windows open, but had irons bars so it still felt very secure. We loved how spacious everything was and wish we could have stayed longer. It was a very romantic and beautiful home.
Unfortunately (and this is not the host's fault) we found a large scorpion in our room when we arrived. It had just rained and apparently scorpions quickly look for shelter in the rain. Since our room was on the ground floor it was an easy place for it to hide. We couldn't get it out because it crawled in-between the bathroom wall and outside wall. We were a bit spooked by it, and didn't sleep well that night. So I'd recommend a high floor. (we had no idea Switzerland has scorpions)
The shower is very tiny to have a shower curtain. Because of the intense water pressure, there was a draft that pulled the curtain and it kept sticking to me. I left it open because it was annoying, but the floor got soaked.

The location of the property is quiet. It is an old house renovated to let guests experience rural life. The bed is comfortable. They provide good brand toiletries. Breakfast is included, they have juices and eggs and bread ready in the kitchen.
The house is not bad, but just not worth the money.
I booked the house because it has a spa and a whirling pool. They sent me a long instructions email which I did not read in detail at the time. You have to request them at least 12 hours in advance to ask them to fill up the water; and you have to pay extra, which I think they should have said before I book it. I think they charge an extra CHF30, not a huge sum, but I booked the house for CHF630 a night (HKD5110). I think they simply should have prepared it at no charge.
It says there will be fresh bread delivered in the morning. But there is none. There are breakfast prepared already in the kitchen though.
The toilets are dark and small, no light in the shower area. The door entry with high metal curb is easy to hurt the feet.
The house is not clean. I understand it is a big house, but I wouldn't expect spider web at the light switch. The air at the dining room at the lowest floor smells still and humid, there are some dust on the sittng mat. We did not use it at all.
The bedsheets and towels are fresh.
The kitchen are well equipped but maybe too much stuff. Some have stains and it is very cluttered.
There is more than one light is broken. Especially the entrance light is broken so it makes it very dark when we first arrived with luggage. Given that the house is not easy to find, it is not a pleasant welcome at all. It is lucky there is a kind neighbor help us to locate the house. And it is not easy to push up suitcases on a ramp from the parking place.

two good Italian restaurants in the village.

Lovely small authentic village. Nicely decorated house, nice garden with hottub and as a bonus a super waterfall on a 5 minute walk.
If I have to say something- the fact that we had to share the kitchen ,garden and hottub with other guests. No problem at all but this house feels like a family house and it felt a bit uncomfortable. We are a family of 5 and the fifth bed was in a hall way where the bath room was located- I would not recommend doing that because it was disturbing for my son.

The kitchen was very well stocked and the host Andy was very responsive. Cute and charming house.
The bathroom as it was exposed without a curtain.

It was absolutely stunning. All of us loved our stay there! The bed's were very confortable and the jaquzzie was even preheated for us. It already had food there and a big fruit bowl. All in all we can just recomend it to everyone who wants to experience a little place of peace and paradise.
It was only one night

Very cosy and comfortable house. We immediately fell in love with this hidden gem. Location was perfect for visiting the towns Bellinzona, Locarno.. and to enjoy nature. The host, Andy, was super friendly and added to our experience!

It was amazing! We rented the whole house and it was even more amazing than on the photos. We had always a great breakfast, they provided for everything and the host was available for all questions. We booked the massages and had an even greater experience. Thank you for everything.

Rustic and modern at the same time Do-Minus is a lovely place to stay. We stayed in the 'suite' which is the top two floors with its own bathroom / shower. The rooms are beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Breakfast is a serve yourself affair with fresh bread delivered in the morning and there is juice and eggs in the fridge. There is a bean to cup coffee maker that makes delicious coffee. You can cook yourself an evening meal if you like as well. It's a communal space so you will share it with other guests if they are there. There are board games and hikes start right outside the front door. 35mins to Lugano if you want to get some city vibes as well.
Spa is a bit of an oversell - it's a semi functioning jacuzzi and the smallest sauna I have ever been in!

Great old house, nicely renovated. Our host Andy was very friendly and helpful. Nice local wine could be bought in the house at basically purchase prices. Would book again.
Actually nothing..
