Villa Edera Exclusive Rental

Only 20 minutes from Locarno, this stunning 19th century villa provides the perfect location for your group to get away from it all. Enjoy the great views of Italy from the shade of a palm tree on our beautiful lawn. Fantastic hiking and swimming opportunities abound! And free public transportation throughout Ticino is included in the price, until midnight of your check-out date! The villa sleeps a total of 32 people. It contains 4 private rooms with shared bath: 2 single rooms and 2 double rooms. Additionally, there are dorm rooms with 1, 3, 4 or 5 bunk beds, for a total of 26 dorm beds. Please note that the price for only one night on weekends is 1'500 total. Groups book the entire hostel for exclusive use, including the kitchen, lounge, and surrounding garden I also manage the tourism Info Point next to the hostel, so I can provide lots of information to all guests. I'm available daily from 9 to 17h00. The entire valley is simply stunning, and it was to be the heart of Switzerland's second ever national park. Unfortunately the park project was rejected by less than 100 votes, but the park exists anyway in all but name! Views from the hostel are unforgettable. Our guests get free public transport (Ticino Ticket), with buses running every few hours. Our bus stop is called Auressio Paese and is less only 50 meters from our door! Guests can also rent public e-bikes to use in the entire valley and all the way to Locarno. If you drive, be aware that our road is extremely narrow and curvy. We have unlimited free parking along the road below the villa. We do not serve food, and there is no shop in the village. Guests can use the lovely restaurant next door, or cook meals in our wonderful kitchen. There is a shop in the next village, Loco, 3km up the road. The hostel has neighbors on all sides, and their tranquility must be respected, especially after 22h00. If you want to party, it's better to book something in Locarno. We have towels available for 2 CHF extra. We have 2 volunteers who always live in the villa. They are there to answer guest questions, respond to emergencies, and ensure that our facilities all function properly.
