Switzerland is well known for its amazing mountain ranges providing phenomenal backdrops, and this penthouse is primed with its own wonderful views. Situated on the sixth floor, this apartment in Lugano is an idyllic watchtower where you can immerse yourself in the beauty of this country. Spend mornings on the balcony eating fresh swiss pastries while watching the golden light dance on the mountains, and enjoy evenings sipping glasses of pinot noir while sharing stories together. The inside of this home is just as elegant as the scenery around. Plush furnishings and tiled floors combine to give you a taste of swiss luxury. There's even an in-building gym, restaurant, bar, and outdoor garden to help make your stay here as comfortable as possible.

Being situated in the centre of Lugano, you'll be able to experience the beauty of nature in this wholesome destination. Lake lugano is the star of the show here, and it's only a short walk away. While the lake is beautiful to stand and look at, it's even better to hike around. Follow one of the various paths dotted around the lake and take in different scenes of this stunning area. We recommend the Olive Grove Trail, which is within walking distance from the home. This is only a short hike and will take you between Castagnola and Gandria, crossing hillsides of ancient olive trees in the process. Switzerland is a country filled with natural beauty, and you'll be right in the heart of it with a stay here in Lugano.

Mountain Dancer

Walking into this bright, open home is dreamy. Two large patio doors welcome in the beautiful sunlight, reflecting on the gallery white walls. Step outside the doors to a mesmerising view of Lake Maggiore and the Swiss Alps, a sight that doesn't get old. Enjoy breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and drinks on the large balcony with the best seat in the house. You'll especially love having your morning coffee here, with the morning sunlight dancing on the calm waters. Locarno proudly holds the title for the warmest place in Switzerland, so we imagine you'll be spending time lounging by the shared pool, dipping in for a swim when the afternoon heat blazes on. When it's time to explore, you're under a twenty-minute walk or five-minute drive from the heart of Locarno. Known for its fondue and local wines, food lovers will adore walking its cobbled streets and stopping into small, traditional food and drink spots. And thanks to its proximity to Italy, Lake Maggiore is actually shared between Italy and Switzerland, you can be sure to enjoy plenty of delicious pastas, pizzas, and gelato. Meander home after a wholesome evening in the city and enjoy a night cap under the pergola in the garden. 

Peach Pit

Sleek and sophisticated, this apartment is ideal for families or groups of friends planning a trip to picture-perfect Lugano. Located right in the heart of the city, you'll settle into the Swiss way of life in no time at all. 

Step inside, and you'll find a contemporary space that's full of natural light. It's a great place to kick back and relax between your adventures – flop down on the sofa with a good book, or get busy in the kitchen with some fresh local ingredients. There's even a balcony where you can sip your morning coffee, and if you need to work then one of the bedrooms has its own desk where you can catch up on emails. 

From here, you're just a five-minute walk away from the gorgeous lakeside. Join the Lungolago di Lugano walking trail, and marvel at the stunning scenery with views across the water to the mountains beyond. The marvelous green space of Parco Ciani is also just a five-minute walk away, and culture fans will be delighted that the Museo D'arte Della Svizzera Italiana is the same distance. And, when you get hungry, there are plenty of nearby restaurants serving up tasty Swiss-Italian dishes to enjoy. 

Boutique by the Lake

Located in the heart of cultural Lugano, this beautiful boutique apartment welcomes you to experience Swiss life at its most glorious. A sensational spot surrounded by inspiring architecture and mouth-watering cuisine, this home is encompassed by exciting things to see and do. 
If you've got a soft spot for stunning scenery, this place is sure to capture your heart. Lake Lugano effortlessly captures Switzerland's rich natural beauty, meanwhile the cobbled streets and terracotta-topped buildings create a picturesque cityscape that's well–worthy of an Instagram snap.
The apartment itself is simply delightful. Nestled on a quieter, secondary road,   this home fuses modern decor with a selection of welcoming amenities. We're particularly fond of the contemporary, tiled bathrooms, but it's the balcony that's really got us talking. Presenting the perfect spot to soak up those wonderful city views, start each day by grabbing a steaming hot latte from the Nespresso machine and heading out onto the balcony to watch the sunrise. 
Here on a business trip? The dedicated workspace welcomes you to set up your laptop and stationery ahead of a busy day's work. If, on the other hand, you're here for a spot of sightseeing, be sure to pay a visit to Piazza della Reforma. Home to a host of bistros and restaurants, it's no wonder this is one of the city's most popular tourist hotspots.

Bircher On The Balcony

With a beautiful open plan set-up – this Lugano apartment puts you within walking distance of the lake, breathtaking views, Lugao's rich cultural heritage and an array of sought-after restaurants and cafés.

Boasting floor-to-ceiling glass doors that lead out onto a private balcony, soak up the scenic setting overlooking Lugano's architecture at the forefront of the stunning mountain landscape in the background. 

When it comes to meal times, you'll have the option to serve up a feast at the indoor dining area or when the weather is kind out on the balcony. So whether you spend blissful moments of relaxation with your feet up on the sofa or having a pamper session in the luxurious bathrooms – there's ample space to unwind after adventurous days discovering the Swiss countryside and lake activities.

Additionally, guests will have access to the on-site communal gym, and with space to set up a laptop at the desk in one of the bedrooms (or at the dining table), those who need to crack on with some work will be able to do so here. 


Lugano Lovin'

Embedded into the rockface of the Monte Besbino mountains, is a stunning home overlooking the crystalline waters of Lake Como. Perhaps one of the most awe-dropping locations in Lombardy, this sustainably-conceptualised villa is an idyllic spot for restoration and discovery.

Designed to showcase the natural landscape, glass walls let you appreciate the panoramic views across the golden mile. Wake up with the lake’s dancing reflections on your bedroom ceiling before stepping out onto the upper garden for a revitalising, morning yoga session, taking in the Breva winds. Mornings can also be spent poolside - turn on the massage streams for a relaxing spa-like treatment, or if you’re looking to be invigorated, make use of the counter-current feature for swim practice. Either way, reward yourself on the loungers perfectly positioned for maximum mountain views. 

This villa combines eco-friendly principles with contemporary charm - think modern, energy-efficient appliances, naturally-sourced materials, and a herbaceous, organic garden. The cosy L-shaped sofa and long, sleek dining table invite you to create memories inside during the cooler months whilst allowing you to feel the immensity of the landscape thanks to the wide expanses of glass. 

If you can pull yourself away from your rockside retreat, explore the lakeside delights and restaurants of Como, a twenty-minute drive away. Or, arrange a picturesque boat tour up to Bellagio for a day winding around the cobbled lanes, a cultural stop exploring the gardens of Villa Serbelloni Park and a lakefront lunch at Ristorante Terrazza Barchetta.

Golden Mile Rock

Nestled in the captivating village of Ronco sopra Ascona, this rustic 2-family house, aptly named 'Enchanted Retreat', invites you to discover a world of tranquility and charm. Surrounded by majestic trees, this comfortable yet cosy 3-room apartment offers a remarkable sensory experience with panoramic views of the lake, mountains, and countryside. Immerse yourself in breathtaking sunsets from the spacious garden or relax on the partly roofed patio. The apartment features a bright living/dining room, two double bedrooms, and a fully-equipped open kitchen. Ideal for nature enthusiasts, this idyllic haven provides direct access to walking paths and is within close proximity to attractions such as Falconeria, Piazza Grande, and Lago Maggiore. Experience the magic of 'Enchanted Retreat' and immerse yourself in the beauty of Ronco sopra Ascona.

Panoramic Escape

This stylish little apartment has everything you need for a break by the lake in Lugano. A studio space, it’s ideal for a couple or solo traveller looking for a stylish bolthole in one of Switzerland’s prettiest towns. Stroll twenty minutes to reach the lake, sparking and inviting you for a dip in the summer months. Twenty-five minutes sees you at the pavement cafés and bars of Piazza della Riforma for aperitivo (this is a Swiss-Italian town). 

Back at the apartment building, head to the shared gym for a workout session, or perhaps catch up on work in one of the communal working spaces. Then retreat to the privacy of your apartment where a kitchenette provides the basics if you’re not dining out. Stone floors and a pistachio-green feature wall keep things characterful. When it’s time for your morning espresso, you’ll be glad of the private terrace just beyond the bedroom/living room. 

Pistachio Gelato

With its glistening lake, framed by breathtaking mountain views and splendid pastel-hued architecture, the city of Lugano impresses with its winning combination of natural beauty and cultural delights. You'll find this home nestled in Lugano's beating heart, a seven-minute walk from the enchanting lakeside park, Parco Civico and a nine-minute walk from Lugano Cathedral.

It's fair to say that this home echoes the sophistication of its surroundings. Inside, it's a pleasing canvas of white walls and wooden floors adorned with stylish decor and modern fixtures. We love the open-plan living area, an inviting gathering place with access to the private balcony. Start your mornings here, sipping coffee in the crisp, lakeside air, before slipping out to grab breakfast – there's a patisserie a two-minute walk away. 

Spend your days strolling the old town's cobblestone streets, hopping between renaissance churches, decadent eateries and swish boutiques. If you're craving time spent in nature, take a fifteen-minute bus ride to the Monte Brè Funicular and enjoy spectacular views from Switzerland's sunniest mountain. 

Lakeside Nights

Compact yet stylish, this apartment in the picturesque lakeside town of Lugano is ideal for a couple or solo traveller. In twenty minutes on foot, you can be at the shimmering lakeside, where boats bob in docks and summer swims are a relief from the heat. Sample the delights of Swiss-Italian cuisine in the pavement restaurants of Piazza della Riforma, a twenty-five-minute walk away, or cook for yourself with fresh produce from the farmer’s market, twenty minutes away on foot.

Within the building you’ve got access to a gym, lounges and a co-working space, making this an ideal apartment for business and leisure. While the apartment itself is a stylish space of stone floors, a midnight-blue feature wall and ceramics and pot plants dotted here and there. The kitchenette has everything you need for a quick meal and, come bedtime, a murphy bed folds down to transform the living room into a bedroom.

Lucky Lakeside

Just a short stroll from the lake shore, this modern home is smart, practical and perfect for a city break. A great base to explore from, it's been designed so you can just unpack and start living like a local. With everything laid out with a great flow, it also comes with a couple of surprises – a little balcony to eat your breakfast on (or sip cocktails, we won't judge) and a Juliet balcony that opens the well-equipped kitchen right up to the fresh air.

Head out for dinner at one of the many nearby restaurants or walk just a couple of minutes to the lakeside Parco Ciani. With boat trips and mountains to explore, there's plenty to keep you active all day.



New Lake City

The view from this home’s private terrace is surely the envy of every building in town. From the wrought-iron bistro set beneath the pergola, your eyes can feast on a panorama of sparkling Lake Como, flanked by snow-capped mountains as orange-roofed villages tumble down the hillsides. Out here, you’ve got plenty of space to enjoy the view, from the dining table or perhaps lapping up the sun on a lounger. We love the ancient mosaic tiles on the covered veranda.

Inside, the plush sofa is aimed at the French doors, rather than the TV, so you can enjoy the view whatever the weather. A huge archway opens the living room up to the dine-in kitchen, and there’s a traditional wall-press filled with holiday reads for a quiet moment. Bedrooms are calming spaces in soothing neutral palettes and the master benefits from corner windows looking out to the mountains. 

You’re on a street in Argegno's old centre, right on the water. The lakeside swimming pool is a five-minute walk away, along with the ferry stop ready to whisk you across Lake Como to the likes of Bellagio, Menaggio or Varenna. Or, just stick around Argegno and enjoy the bars and restaurants that lace the town.
