There's more than a touch of magic at this gorgeous home, located in the fairytale village of Gandria. Located on the shore of Lake Lugano, it's the perfect spot for a romantic getaway or a base for adventures in the great outdoors. 

Follow the steps from the road down to your front door, and you'll discover a charming retreat where you can truly relax. The exposed stone walls, open fireplace and sophisticated colour scheme create a gorgeous blend of old and new. You can wake up to sip your morning coffee in the fresh air as you chat with your guests and admire the views across the lake. And, on your return, the comfy sofa is ready and waiting for you to curl up and rest up in style. 

With picture-perfect Gandria right on your doorstep, you can stroll through the cobbled streets and dine on hearty fare at the local restaurants. The city of Lugano is just a twelve-minute drive away, where you'll find a lido, several museums, and a selection of upmarket boutiques to peruse. And, if you're feeling active, there are hiking and cycling trails nearby that will guide you through the rugged mountain terrain. 

Cast a Spell

Treat your favourite people to a fantastic stay in this charming apartment in Paradiso. With an excellent location and plenty of space both indoors and outdoors, it's sure to delight the whole family during a Swiss getaway. 

The interior is a contemporary haven with modern furnishings, underfloor heating, and a huge comfy sofa where you can flop down and relax. The sleek kitchen is the ideal place to cook up a delicious feast using fresh local ingredients, and you can gather your guests at the chic dining table for an evening feast. Or, on sunny evenings, serve up your culinary creations alfresco on the patio then let the kids run wild in the garden – an outside space like this is such a bonus in the city. 

From here, you can wander over to the Lugano-Paradiso funicular railway in just ten minutes, for an incredible view across the lake. The ferry stop is also close by if you fancy taking a boat trip across the water, and if you would like to swim then the Lido di Paradiso is only a four-minute drive away. Plus, those who are feeling adventurous can join one of the nearby trails to hike through the awe-inspiring landscapes and breathe in the fresh mountain air. 

Garden in the City

Nestled between the lake and mountains, this cosy home invites you to relax among the wonders of nature. The modern apartment sits in the heart of Lugano, an Italian-speaking city with pastel-hued buildings, unbeatable views and a Swiss-Mediterranean blend of culture and cuisine.

From your stylish living space, you can enjoy views of the spectacular landscape as you relax on the sofa. Whip up meals in the sleek kitchen to enjoy at the bright dining table – there's even a desk area, if you've struggled to leave the work at home. Just five minutes from the waterfront, this comfortable base is the ideal setting-off point to explore Switzerland's Ticino region.

There's plenty for art enthusiasts to enjoy in Lugano. After a morning coffee and breakfast spread, walk seven minutes to the Museo delle Culture, a fascinating collection of works from India and South-East Asia. Lugano Arte e Cultura is also nearby, a centre focused on visual and performance arts that promises an educational and memorable afternoon.

Blue Mountain View

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

For a cosy home-from-home experience in Switzerland, look no further. This sweet little studio apartment is just outside of Lugano, so you have gorgeous scenery right on your doorstep. 

The apartment is bright and comfortable. There’s a kitchenette and a dining table, so you can easily whip up quick meals if you don’t fancy eating out. Though with the food being so heavily influenced by nearby Italy, you’ll surely want to sample at least some of the local cuisine. 

Lugano is just nineteen minutes away by car. Known as the Monte Carlo of Switzerland, Lugano boasts incredible views and a laid-back vibe – perfect for a holiday. You’ll probably spend most of your time on the shores of the glacial lake, stopping for coffee or enjoying alfresco meals while taking in the scenery. Riding the funicular railway is a great way to spend an afternoon, and the views are amazing. 

For a day at the beach, drive just ten minutes to the grassy Lido San Domenico. Laze in the sunshine on the lake’s shore, sip chilled drinks, and feel your worries melt away. 


The Bolthole

Whether you're planning a romantic getaway, a quick work trip, or an active holiday in the mountains, this apartment is a great place to call home. Located right in the centre of Lugano, just a short stroll away from the lakeside, you'll love relaxing in this serene space. 

The open-plan living space is ideal for chilling out with your guests as you plan your itinerary, and the subtle colour palette and contemporary furnishings mean there's a real air of tranquillity here. Settle down on the sofa to watch your favourite shows, or get busy in the kitchen cooking your favourite meals to refuel after a busy day. And, with your very own balcony, you can sip your morning coffee in the fresh air then enjoy an alfresco glass of wine when evening rolls around. 

Wander through the manicured green spaces of Parco Ciani, just a fifteen-minute walk away, before enjoying a refreshing swim in the neighbouring lido. If you want to explore Lake Lugano by boat then the ferry terminal is twenty minutes away, but if you'd prefer to stay on dry land then there are plenty of walking trails to choose from. And, with a range of restaurants serving Swiss-Italian dishes nearby, you can indulge in some tasty local cuisine after your adventures. 

Lakeside Retreat

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

This bright and modern studio situated in the picturesque town of Lugano is a great place for a couple or a solo traveller to base themselves while they make the most of all that this beautiful Italian-speaking region of Switzerland has to offer. 

While the studio is compact in size, it has all the comforts to make your time a relaxing one – not to mention all the shared facilities which are definitely an added perk. Arrive to be greeted by a light-filled open-plan space, with a huge sofa which easily transforms into a plush double bed. There’s also a dining table for two, perfect for those romantic suppers which you’ll be able to easily rustle up in the well-equipped kitchen area. In case you don’t feel like cooking, there’s also a restaurant and bar downstairs. Later you may want to step outside onto the balcony and share some wine – this is also a great spot for a morning coffee with a view over the mountains. 

Outside you’ll be close to the vibrant Piazza Della Riforma, the heart of the city, which you can reach in twenty minutes by walking – the same amount of time it'll take you to get to the shores of the lake. You’ll also find a charming local farmers’ market offering the best fresh produce. For business travellers, the apartment is just an eleven-minute walk from the Centro Esposizioni Lugano exhibition centre and an eighteen-minute walk from the Palazzo Dei Congressi Lugano.

Morning Coffee & Views 

We think you'd be hard-pressed to find a snazzy, modern home like this with better views of the Swiss alps. From the garden they're truly panoramic and this place has been designed to make the most of them – with window walls, sliding doors and a wraparound terrace. Come summer or winter, this ground floor apartment is an idyllic jumping off point to explore the stunning region, either on one of the many nearby hiking trails or on the ski slopes. Enjoy a lunchtime barbecue, and tuck into a dinner of fondue or raclette. If your muscle are aching from all the hiking or skiing, take some time out and head to the sauna.

High on a Hill

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

If a view of Lake Lugano is at the top of your holiday wishlist, then this is the home for you. Smart and sophisticated, this Paradiso apartment is just a stone's throw away from the water's edge, and makes the perfect place to kick back and relax between your adventures. 

Step inside, and you'll find a serene space with plenty of contemporary style. Flop down on the sofa to rest your legs, or get busy in the kitchen cooking up some tasty dishes using fresh local ingredients. The large windows bring in plenty of natural light, and you can step out onto the balcony for a better look at the panoramic views. There's space to eat outside, should you fancy dining in the sunshine, and the bedrooms also have terrace access so you can sip your morning coffee in the fresh air. 

From here, the lakeside is just across the road, where you can saunter along and marvel at the mountains across the water. If you fancy taking a boat trip, then the Lugano Paradiso ferry stop is a five-minute walk away. And, with the city centre of Lugano just a ten-minute drive away, you can visit the museums, take a dip in the lido, and stroll through the serene Parco Ciani with ease. 

Lake Magic

Live the good life at this swish apartment in the Italian-speaking Swiss town of Locarno. Situated just a stone's throw away from the glittering Lago Maggiore, it's a magical spot at the foot of the Alps. 

Step inside, and you'll find a thoroughly modern space with a crisp colour scheme and modern silhouettes. The open-plan set-up makes it easy to socialise with your guests while you cook, eat, and relax together in style – there's even a fondue and raclette set provided. And, you'll love the private balcony, where you can sip a glass of wine in the fresh air and catch a glimpse of the rugged peaks beyond. 

You can wander down to the lake's shore in just a few minutes for a walk or a revitalising dip in the thermal baths at Lido Locarno. Organise a boat trip to explore Lago Maggiore from the water, before refueling on some delicious local dishes at one of the restaurants in the town. And, if you drive north into the mountains, you can go mountain biking, hiking, or even paragliding.
