Caffe' dell'Arte is a simply charming boutique B&B with very original zany decor and a friendly relaxing atmosphere. A perfect spot for a romantic get-away if you seek a total contrast to business hotels or impersonal hotel chains...but don't rely on communicating in English; we managed with French & German and have vowed to learn Italian. A wonderful feast of... More

The B&B is on the nice location in the old town, the people are kind, rooms are spacious and the best part - at least for us - was breakfast. Not buffet, but continental. We did not expect much, but what a surprise - served in style, excellent choice of everything, aestethically perfect, you don't get something like this even... More

and the smile of the lady owning the place. Serenity is the word here. Charming room indeed, there is everything in there. The owner would even sort of apologize that she did not figure out yet where the put ... small fridges in the rooms. So sweet.

We stayed there for one night and really enjoyed. The owner took her time to give us great advice on where to go out for dinner outside of the touristic places. Also a very good breakfast!

We stayed two nights in Caffe Dell'Arte. We found the rooms personal and cozy. Far away from standard impersonal hotel chains. Some rooms even have their own coffee machine. The personnel was friendly, service-minded and generous and the breakfast was really something extra. I will certainly come back to this hotel.

Excellent hotel - the rooms are marvelous in a funny way. Very clean, friendly staff, great breakfast, you can also choose a vegetarian option. The Zebra room in which we stayed had a breathtaking view over the mountains. The street was a little noisy with the windows open but it didn't bother us at all. The hotel in the center... More

We stayed for one night in this hotel on our first night in Locarno. The "Arte" in the title lives up to its name and our room was a work of art in its own right. From the tiny sitting room with its velvet uphostered furniture to the splendid gold and linen white bedroom, the place was a visual feast.... More

Great breakfast (can be personalised to your taste/dietary requirements) with real espresso if so desired (not limited) and really friendly and attentive owners/staff. Lots of lovely artistic touches make it very unique. Rooms tastefully and imaginatively furnished with extra space for sitting. Really central - can walk anywhere easily - and parking is easy in the local car park (state... More
