Hotel Dell Angelo

A regionally characteristic hotel occupying a 17th- century building, Hotel dell'Angelo is situated in the pretty arcaded square of Piazza Grande in central Locarno, and is just 500 metres from Lake Maggiore. The 55 bright guestrooms feature light decor with tiled floors, plush rugs and modern furniture. All offer hair dryers, safes, direct-dial telephones, radios and satellite television.

The hotel's restaurant-pizzeria features original frescoes, an à la carte menu of typical Ticinese and Italian cuisine, a wood-burning pizza oven and an extensive regional wine list. Guests can enjoy breakfast in the light and airy breakfast room, have coffee on the panoramic terrace, and unwind with drinks while soaking up the rustic charm of the bar with its beamed ceiling and wood floor. Multilingual staff on the front desk can assist with tourist enquiries, and car parking is available for a surcharge. The sights of Locarno, including the Piazza Grande, Lake Maggiore and Visconteo Castle are all within 500 metres of the hotel. 1.5 kilometres away, through a pretty wooded ravine, guests can visit the Church of Madonna del Sasso, while a journey of three kilometres will take them to the town of Ascona. Locarno station is one kilometre from the hotel. Milan Malpensa Airport is 130 kilometres distance, an approximate driving time of 90 minutes.
