Kid-friendly holiday rentals in Tenero-Contra

Beautiful house on the slopes. Amazing view from the house just like in the pictures. I thought the house looks much better than the pictures. Nicole was extremely kind but perhaps communication was a little affected by google translate but all is fixed since I had a Swiss friend. For ASEAN guests, please take note that the garbage bags are paid so usually they use 1 bag for the stay and please take note of the trash organisation instructions on the kitchen bar. - This has nothing to do the owner but a cultural difference good to note. The place is wonderful and the kids (Swiss and Asian) all loved the play area. Superb! Highly recommended.

A great, cozy apartment, with everything you need to feel comfortable quickly. It is very cozy, you look into the countryside, the creek rustles. Our two teenagers loved it too. Fabrizio is a very warm and open host with tips and good information. From our point of view, almost an insider tip if you are looking for nature and still want to shop quickly by bus or stroll through Locarno.

Simply a great place to stay for holidays in Ticino. Brigitte personally welcomed us and showed us everything. She gave us great recommendations for the area, which we tried directly and enriched our vacation with her knowledge of Ticino. The Ticino house is very nice, practical and thoughtfully furnished and offers wonderful seating especially outside with great views of the surrounding mountains and Lake Maggiore in the distance. The kitchen is very well equipped and the appliances all work great. The wine cellar also invites you to try. We are always happy to include the box of guidebooks, maps and brochures in our daily planning. We also liked the location of the house. A little away from big main roads, but also not too far away. So the trips to the excursion destinations were very pleasant and shopping facilities were also easy and quick to reach by car

Lovely place and stay.

The apartment is very traditional in an old stone house, located in the beautiful Verzasca Valley. The location is the ideal vantage point to explore the valley with its beautiful nature, but also Locarno and Ascona. Please note: the place is on a reservoir, you can't swim there! There are also no supermarkets, bakeries, etc. in the valley, so it is best to do your shopping in advance. The apartment itself is very clean, the kitchen fully equipped, the location very quiet. We were there as a family with 2 children and felt very comfortable. (There are steep stairs in the house, not suitable for very small children). Overall highly recommended!

Doris informed us in a timely and complete manner and welcomed us in the friendliest way. The studio is at the bottom of a hillside house with a private entrance and a very large, very well-kept garden, with wonderful views of the lake and several opportunities to linger. The car can be parked 5 meters in front of the door, which is a rarity in Ticino, but extremely practical. The studio is small as described, but very modern, extremely well and fully furnished and very clean. The windows are triple glazed, which further supports the tranquility in the quiet area. Walking paths from the house are available, although occasionally a bit steep, the excursion possibilities to the lake or in the Ticino valleys are almost unlimited and easily accessible. Stores like Lidl, Migros, etc. are within walking distance, it's just downhill or uphill. All in all, a top studio with a very lovely hostess. Thank you, Doris.

This home is in an outstanding location overlooking the lake and Lugano. We were blown away by the view from every window. The location was very peaceful, and the home was extremely well-stocked. We enjoyed coffee on the balcony or the covered deck every day (depending on how hot it was!). The home is located a quick drive to downtown Lugano, and a short drive to the top of Monte Bre (highly recommend!) and to Gandria (also highly recommend). We fell in love with Lugano and the surrounding area thanks in part to this house…we will definitely be back.

We had the pleasure of spending a wonderful week at this place and felt comfortable from the first moment. Serge proved to be an outstanding host, not only extremely friendly and likeable, but also extraordinarily helpful and always committed to our well-being. Right after our arrival, Serge took the time for a detailed house tour and gave us valuable insider tips for the area. His recommendations for restaurants where to dine well, as well as for interesting activities and worth seeing excursions were helpful. The view from the property was breathtaking. A special highlight was the hot tub, which was just the place to relax after an eventful day. We are sure this was not our last visit with Serge and in his fantastic accommodation. We can fully recommend this place and Serge as a host!

Wonderful apartment with great view over the lake! The apartment is very clean and has very modern and new amenities. The host Christoph is very responsive and friendly!

We had the pleasure of spending a few unforgettable days at Katie’s beautiful apartment in Ronco sopra Ascona. The view is absolutely breathtaking – Lake Maggiore stretches out at your feet, with Ascona and the Brissago Island in full view, framed by the surrounding mountains. The long hours of sunshine on the spacious terrace were a true highlight. The apartment is nice furnished, very well maintained, and offers plenty of space with its three bedrooms – ideal for families or small groups. Everything was clean and perfectly prepared – you can tell Katie is a thoughtful and caring host. The location is peaceful, yet just a short drive from Ascona and the lake. The combination of privacy, stunning views, and comfort makes this place a real gem. We’d love to come back – thank you, Katie!

Everything was perfect!! The apartment was spacious, well furnished and so comfortable!! Kitchen was well stocked with premier utensils. The location was great to explore the waterfront and beautiful surroundings. We parked in the 30 minute lot at the head of the street to load and unload. The parking pass that he provided for us was a key benefit. We would highly recommend Stefano’s apartment and would surely stay there again.

We stayed for two nights and it was perfect. Self check-in was smooth. The spectacular view immediately took our breath away. The apartment itself has everything we need with welcome bottle of wine and chocolate. Car park is easy and daily pass is really useful. We found it difficult to park in locarno for the day. It is easier to take funicular. It is walking distance from the apartment. Manuela is also really responsive for anything needed. Thank you for the perfect stay!

We enjoyed our stay in Tiziano's apartment very much. We didn't miss anything. Tiziano is very friendly and accommodating. Great location. Clean apartment. Spacious. Sensational view. Simply great. Always happy to come back. Thank you so much for everything, Tiziano! 🙏🏼

Small, fine accommodation, with an open and communicative hostess, who was always easy to reach. In the evening, we enjoyed the tranquility and the beautiful view from the garden to the lake, and were delighted by the fireflies. We are happy to recommend the accommodation. Thank you dear Ruth!!

great stay in a spacious accommodation with all the amenities, I highly recommend it. Carole is a very responsive and friendly host. I will gladly come back next time to enjoy this magnificent view of Lake Maggiore. 🤩

It was mega beautiful and could enjoy the time very much. And hennig was a great host. We will definitely go again.👍

The accommodation is in a fantastically beautiful location – ideal for relaxing. Andrea and Raffi were very warm, wonderfully uncomplicated and helpful, we felt welcome from the first moment. Everything was very clean and lovingly furnished, you can tell that a lot of heart is put into it. We will be happy to come back!

Simply perfect! The accommodation was super clean, tastefully furnished and very cozy. The bed with topper was incredibly comfortable - I have rarely slept so well. Everything is at ground level, barrier-free and therefore also ideally suited for people with disabilities. Particularly practical: the private, protected parking space right in front of the door Host was extremely friendly and helpful The great guide folder with many personal tips, some of which I did not know despite five years of vacation on Lake Como, should be emphasized. The location is quiet, but easily accessible and easy to find. All around a great accommodation with attention to detail – I will definitely come back!

Giovanni was a fantastic host! He is extremely responsive, proactive and always willing to help. We had a number of questions about the area throughout our week long stay and was happy to assist however he could. The unit itself is absolutely beautiful with unbelievable views… even better in person! There are a number of great restaurants within walking distance (the Bar across the street was particularly great for breakfast!). We would recommend having a car while you are there as the ferry service is a bit frustrating to navigate (especially as a non-local). Parking is paid during the high season, but usually easy to find a spot (there is a small lot directly across the street). Couldn’t recommend this place enough, Giovanni is a great host.

We had very relaxing days at Katrin's, who welcomed us very warmly. The apartment was very clean and the view of the lake was beautiful! You are surrounded by a beautiful green garden, where we were even allowed to use the fresh herbs. We also liked the option to rent the two SUPs to paddle on the lake. We will be happy to come back. 🥰

The accommodation is centrally located, so you can easily reach everything on foot. You can be in the center in 15 minutes or at the Maggia or at the beginning of one of the beautiful hiking trails. In the immediate vicinity (2-5 minutes) there are also several restaurants, bars and shops. Andja welcomed us so warmly and courteously and was always helpful and available. A beautiful home to enjoy the good life in Ticino. We lacked nothing and we would be happy to come back at any time.

We spent 4 nights in an absolutely ideal place to rest. The setting is very quiet, with a magnificent view of the lake, perfect for disconnecting. We had an accommodation with an outdoor kitchen, which was really nice to fully enjoy the environment. The room was very nice, comfortable and clean. The place is also perfectly suited for a stay with a small child: there is a sandbox, a swing, some toys on site, a high chair, a baby bed... even board games for family evenings. The owners are lovely, with lots of little touches that make the difference: on our arrival, fresh fruits, yogurts, beers... And for those who like their peace, don't worry, we hardly saw them The only small point of improvement in my opinion would be the addition of a small pool, it would really be the icing on the cake. But otherwise, everything was great, a real little corner of paradise

Very friendly host and amazing location

Our stay was perfect, exactly what we needed! The place was really clean + some really nice things I found (vs other Aibnbs): high quality pans to cook! Nespresso machine, very nice closet for all our clothes, everything we needed for kids, including dishes, and super easy to get in and out! The hosts were very communicative and answered quickly when we had questions. All-in-all, we loved it.
