Through the large sliding doors you reach the balcony which is also equipped with tables and chairs. From the balcony you reach the well-kept garden with spacious lawn, pergola and barbecue area. Due to the proximity to the forest, the use of the barbecue is only allowed if there is no prohibition in Ticino. The pizza oven and table grill are not functional and therefore not available for use.
Furthermore, there are two more bedrooms on this floor with exit to the balcony, as well as a bathroom with shower and two washbasins. Generous built-in cupboards in the hallway complete the offer.

Very beautiful view of the lake, very nice setting, quiet in the middle of nature, too bad the road to get there is a bit complicated.
Mischa B.
Beautiful, large, spacious house with a stunning view, perfect for relaxing and unwinding.

We had a very pleasant and relaxing stay in this beautiful house, located in a quiet area in the mountains above Locarno. The view of Lake Maggiore, the Brissago Islands, and the surrounding valleys is simply magnificent, whether from the large balcony or the adjoining terrace garden on the first floor. The house is very well laid out and nicely decorated. We found it to be in perfect cleanliness. The lovely open kitchen, very well equipped and organized, is rich in dishes, accessories of all kinds, household products, spices, and condiments. House and bath linens are provided in sufficient quantities, and liquid soap is available at each sink. The only downside is that to reach this eagle's nest, one must take the via Monte-Brè, a very narrow and winding road for about 5 km from Locarno Monti (approximately 20 minutes by car from the center of Locarno). A vehicle is therefore essential. From the 2 private parking spaces on the roadside, you still have to climb a fairly steep staircase of 70 steps to access the property. But this effort is more than compensated by the beautiful location and the comfort of this house!

Very modern (with underfloor heating) and well-maintained house with a fantastic view. Relaxing peace and quiet. Also a playful place for our two children (10 and 7 years old). As former forest school students, they immediately found the right forest paths. The access to the house requires appropriate driving skills (probably more normal for Swiss people) and a normal level of fitness for climbing the stairs to the house. We really enjoyed our stay. Building such a house into the hillside was surely a huge challenge. I am amazed at the effort that was put into this many years ago. The house appears renovated, has modern technology, and is in tip-top condition.

A very beautiful house with a spectacular view. The access road is partially very narrow (single lane). If you have some patience and know the size of your car, the route is also manageable with an SUV (like our Hyundai Tucson). The way is definitely worth it. The house itself is equipped quite well. Bedding and towels are provided. The only downside may be the rather hard double bed in the upper floor. The staff of Fewo is very helpful and uncomplicated. It was no problem to spontaneously add an additional person for 2 days. We would love to come back!

La vue sur le Lac Majeur, les îles Brissago et les vallées environnantes est juste magnifique, que ce soit du grand balcon ou du jardin en terrasse attenant, au 1er étage.
La maison est très bien agencée et joliment décorée. Nous l’avons trouvée dans un parfait état de propreté. La jolie cuisine ouverte, très bien équipée et rangée, est riche en vaisselle, accessoires de toute sortes, produits ménagers, épices et condiments. Les linges de maison et de toilettes sont fournis en suffisance, et du savon liquide est disponible à chaque lavabo.
Seule ombre au tableau, pour atteindre ce nid d’aigle il faut emprunter la via Monte-Brè, route très étroite et sinueuse sur env. 5 Km depuis Locarno Monti (soit env. 20 minutes en voiture depuis le centre de Locarno). Un véhicule est donc indispensable. Depuis les 2 places de parc privées en bord de route, il faut encore monter un escalier assez raide de 70 marches pour accéder à la propriété. Mais cet effort est largement récompensé par la magnifique situation et le confort de cette maison !
Das Bett im oberen Bereich ist etwas hart. Die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet und sehr modern. Das obere Bad ist sehr schön. Der Ausblick vom Balkon ist grandios. 71 Stufen führen vom Parkplatz zur Eingangstür ! Dies ist zu Beachten. Bis auf die unteren Nachbarn ist man hier sehr einsam !
Betreuung vor Ort wurde nicht in Anspruch genommen. Die Konversation mit der Agentur war freundlich und unkompliziert.
Die Zufahrtstrasse ist teilweise sehr eng (Einspurig). Sofern man etwas Geduld mitbringt und die grösse seines Autos kennt, ist die Strecke aber auch mit einem SUV (wie unserem Hyundai Tucson) machbar. Der Weg lohnt sich aber auf jeden Fall.
Das Haus selber ist recht gut ausgestattet. Bettwäsche und Frottetücher sind vorhanden. Sofern man etwas beanstanden möchte, ist das einziges mango das eher harte Doppelbett in der oberen Etage.
Das Personal von Fewo ist sehr hilfsbereit und unkompliziert. Es war kein Problem spontan noch eine zusätzliche Person für 2 Tage dazuzubuchen.
Wir kommem gerne wieder!
So ein Haus in den Hang zu bauen war sicher mal eine Riesenherausforderung. Ich staune, mit welchem Aufwand man das vor vielen Jahren durchgeführt hat. Das Haus wirkt renoviert, hat eine zeitgemässe Technik und ist tipp-topp in Schuss.
