Villa Novecento

Awarded by the Swiss Heritage Society, Villa Novecento offers the ideal retreat in Locarno with six large rooms and a wildly romantic garden. Personal, familiar and warm.

For the Swiss Heritage Society, the Villa Novecento is one of the 100 most beautiful hotels of the Switzerland. The gently renovated house scores not only with its interior, but also with the surrounding garden. Many secluded spots, the pergola, the rose pavilion or the gnarled olive tree invite you to linger.

The organic small hotel with its six rooms has long been committed to sustainability: From the breakfast buffet with regional, organically produced food to the use of environmentally friendly cleaning products and organic gardening .

The Villa Novecento in Muralto is only a few minutes walk from Locarno train station. It invites to a spontaneous stroll to the old town of Locarno or to Lake Maggiore, but also to larger excursions to the surrounding valleys.
