🅿️ Parking

 

A limited number of private parking spaces are available by advance reservation only, subject to availability.

 

Rate: CHF 15.– per night.

 

Alternatively, public paid parking is available in the immediate vicinity of the property, subject to availability.

 

If you are arriving from Locarno, we recommend not turning right directly into Villa Belforte’s parking area. The entrance is quite narrow and is located immediately after a utility pole, making the turn difficult, especially for medium and large vehicles.

 

For easier access, continue for approximately 150 metres along Via San Gottardo, make a U-turn in a spacious area (for example, at the Post Office square, Via San Gottardo 56), then return towards Villa Belforte from the opposite direction.

 

This short detour takes less than a minute and makes entering the parking area much easier and safer.
