Hotel for sale - 6600 Locarno

In Locarno, in the heart of the beautiful historic city center, in a very strategic and sought-after location, a short walk from Piazza Grande and all the amenities of the city center, we offer for sale this fascinating historic building (former Garni) with a beautiful open view of the splendid Old Town.

The building, dating back to the early twentieth century (circa 1925), needs a complete conservative restoration, but offers great potential in a splendid and highly sought-after location by both locals and tourists. Composed of 3 staggered levels and basement rooms used as a cellar, it consists of:

Basement:
Large natural vaulted cellar for food storage, cold room and goods lift to the ground floor. Another spacious cellar/storage room with a 12,000 L fuel oil tank + traditional heating room with centralized hot water.
Ground floor:
Entrance with a large wooden door defined by a partially covered courtyard with granite slab flooring. Large open space on two levels, formerly used for catering (approx. 50 indoor seats / approx. 20 outdoor seats). On the lower level, there is access to another splendid internal courtyard with a corridor and a secondary entrance. A bar and a spacious, well-separated kitchen complete this floor.
First floor:
External access via a staircase with wonderful balconies and connecting terraces from which, thanks to the raised position, there is a splendid view over the roofs of the Old Town and which lead to the first service rooms (laundry, ironing room, staff room). Raised floor with two first rooms with bathrooms.
Second floor:
A small apartment with a large bathroom, one bedroom and a living room. Raised floor with two further rooms, one with a small balcony and both with bathrooms.

This fantastic property also includes another undeveloped plot of land on the opposite side of the road, used as a garden and vegetable garden for the restaurant. It is situated on a raised position with respect to the road surface and is laid out on two flat levels.

The property does not have its own parking spaces. However, several communal parking spaces are available along the adjacent road and in the immediate vicinity.

In the case of conversion into a multi-family residential building, there would also be the possibility of designating it as a secondary residence for a percentage equal to 35% of the usable residential area.

Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity and contact us immediately for more detailed information and a possible viewing.
