Tertianum Residenza Hotel & Ristorante Al Parco

Just loved the light, spacious 50 m2 apartment (an upgrade at no extra costs) with a great 180 degree view on both the lake 'Lago Maggiore' as well as as the mountains. There was an overall very pleasant vibe in the hotel and staff was super friendly. Breakfast was good too and the breakfast room (=restaurant) had a great ambiance thanks to the glass ceiling and half-circle shape. Location was pretty unbeatable, like an island in the center of Locarno.

The coffee was good but not great. The bed was a bit too hard for me and my back. I would have appreciated a thin softer layer on top of it.

Anna, the receptionist, was lovely and incredibly helpful. The room was very spacious with a kitchenette, which was a nice bonus, as I ended up using the oven for a quick meal when I was too tired to go out. The pool was heated on a cold day and wasn't crowded at all. The big "wow" moment for me was the garden/grounds--I went in spring and it was breathtaking. There are flowers everywhere, beautiful landscaping, and water features. Perfect place for a stroll or to plop down and read a book. Location is also great--just a 5 minute walk to the train and an 8 minute walk to the ferry. I highly recommend taking the ferry to Isole di Brissago while staying in Locarno--it was gorgeous! Thank you for the recommendation, Anna!

The room was very spacious, huge balcony and view to the Lago Maggiore. Facilities inside very beautiful with lots of green. Dogs accepted. Really nice restaurant, nice breakfast and nice staff. 5 minutes walk to the main train station in Locarno. Would definitely stay again. For those who like me were unsure at the beginning about staying at a Residence for old people for vacation: there are different blocks at this place. There were apparently some people living there but not at the building where we were, it was not crowded. They have a lot of apartments and it was worth it.

Just that they didnt put more toilet papers when doing housekeeping. Reception was closed quite early, but we could check in at the restaurant.

The location was fairly central - 5 minutes walk to downtown. The service, amazing food and facilities were excellent. The parking was inexpensive. The apartment was massive and very quiet. The staff were very welcoming and attentive. The swimming pool was very clean and refreshing. The balcony had great furniture for relaxing on too.

The pool hours were limited to early morning or evenings but that was fine for me. This is also a senior care home residence so might not be for those wishing to party.

We had very nice stay at Tertanium. Apartment was very spacious and the food in the restaurant was delicious! All staff was very friendly and welcoming and very kind receptionost helped us with our special requests we had.

It was not very easy to find a parking slot and a room,therefore we recommend to come within reception opening hours:).

The dinner was extraordinary! Location was fine thought more details about garage could be provided upfront. It was a surprise that reception was closed but we were served properly at restaurant counter.

The swimming pool would benefit if the exterior part would be cleaner. Also not clear how to use it.

Close to the train and bus station, walking distance to the lake and the center, very spacious room and balcony, small kitchenette, beautiful garden, great swimming pool, friendly staff.

Breakfast was rather simple, it's good to be aware that the reception has limited opening hours and that this is the residential place for elderly people with the medical care.

A very relaxing escape with verdant gardens so close to the city. A beautiful view of the lake from our balcony in building A. So much space for peace of mind and a lovely holiday.

Getting back in to Building A from the street side seems a little bit of a puzzle.

The apartment was close to the trainstation and good walking distance to lots of things that interested us. The living space and balcony were very big and there was a small kitchenette. The facilities were clean and quiet.

Excellent location, spacious and clean room, beautiful park, friendly staff, tasty breakfast. I like the concept of mixing a home for the elderly with a hotel. Leads to interesting encounters. Would definitely stay again.

Upon arrival, I found the layout of the property slightly confusing. Luckily, a kind employee provided me with a map ;-).
