Located 20 metres from the shores of Lake Maggiore in Minusio, Osteria La Riva offers a room with a balcony and lake views. The restaurant serves traditional and international cuisine.

The room also features a spacious bathroom and a sofa, and is fitted with wooden floors.

Just AMAZING. The room had everything you need. It was very comfortable with a very big TV, with Tea making possibilities, minibar. The bed was very comfortable. We had a small balcony looking at the lake. Having breakfast in the morning and enjoying your coffee directly on the lake. It was like a dream. The personel was very friendly and helpful and made everything possible to have a great stay there. We even got a bottle of wine as a small present when we were leaving. Parking space is organised and near by and for free. Internet was working perfectly. The city center was 20 min walking distance. There was a delicious restaurant just under the room. (which can be a bit loud for some people. for us it was not an issue). THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT STAY. We will come back :)

    Nanda and her husband are such lovely hosts! They gave us tips on what to do around and they were so kind and helpful. The room is very cozy and comfortable. You have for yourself a little garden with a table and two chairs, a little heaven! The location is between Locarno and Ascona. It's perfect if you wanna visit both. Highly recommend this!
