We had a wonderful time in Muralto. The kitchen was well equipped and the home was beautiful and spacious, with plenty of room to relax indoors and outdoors. We especially appreciated that it was nice and cool when we walked in from the summer heat! Great location, close to public transit, grocery stores, bakeries, and the lake. Check-in and check-out were smooth.

Die Kommunikation mit Herr Bruderer war immer sehr klar und verständlich und er beantwortete Fragen vor und während des Aufenthaltes sofort, was dazu beitrug, dass wir eine super Woche hatten.
Die Villa ist genauso wie beschrieben und wie auf den Fotos sichtbar, sehr schön und praktisch eingerichtet, ideal auch mit kleineren Kindern. (Wickeltisch, Babybett) Die Villa ist wirklich sehr grosszügig geschnitten und wir hatten mit 4 Familienpartien immer genug Rückzugsmöglichkeiten. Sie war bei Ankunft sauber und es hat uns an nichts gefehlt. (Genügend Geschirr, Besteck etc.)
Der Garten rund ums Haus erschien mir grösser als auf den Fotos. Die Garage und der Parkplatz davor hatten gut gereicht mit zwei grossen Autos und einem Mini Van, das hat mich überrascht und war sehr praktisch.
Desshalb empfehlen wir die Villa unseren Freunden weiter und würden sie ohne lang zu überlegen auch wieder buchen.

Villa Locarno is a large old home in a convenient area of a charming town. That being said, the Villa is in need of updating, particularly in the kitchen. The bedding is adequate, the pillows are not. Our favorite room was the glassed in dining area. We never used the outdoor seating area or grill, so I can't attest to that. The location manager is very responsive and helpful, should there be any problems.

Was gibt es schöneres, als bei hereinbrechendem Winter in noch einige Warme Tage im Tessin zu verbringen.
Zwischen 10 und 15 Grad wärmer als im Norgden waren es wohl diesen Herbst. Die Gegend um Locarno weisst dank ihrem Mikroklima nochmals einige Grade mehr aus als der Wetterbreicht für's Tessin vorhersagt.
Das Haus: schön, gut instandgehalten, zentral gelegen. Was will man mehr?
