Once a barn, now a simple but cosy apartment for three. Sleeping arrangements are shared here, with the single bed on a raised mezzanine above the double bed. There's also a full kitchen and indoor and outdoor dining areas, and a desk for catching up on work or planning your trips to the lakes. It's easy from here, there's a lake a five-minute drive away, while Varese and Lugano are thirty minutes away. In the town of Cunardo, you'll find an array of authentic eateries and bars – plenty of spots for a pizza and an aperitivo with the locals. 

The Lakeside Village

Perched on the fourth floor of a serviced building, this home provides a beautifully equipped base for exploring Lugano with plenty of communal amenities, including a gym, restaurant, bar and lush gardens for alfresco drinks. It's just an eight-minute walk from the city's central square, the Piazza Della Riforma, and within easy walking distance of all the main sights. If you're travelling for business, the exhibition centre is only eleven minutes away on foot, and with a co-working space on-site, it's the perfect place for catching up on projects between adventures.

The interior is contemporary and inviting, blessed by heaps of natural light and cloaked in a sophisticated colour palette of neutral tones. The open-plan living space has everything you could need for a comfortable stay, including a fully-equipped kitchen, a spacious dining table and plenty of plush seating for kicking back in front of the smart TV. Here, floor-to-ceiling sliding doors reveal a large balcony and spectacular mountain views. Spend mornings roosted here, sipping coffee in the sunshine before slipping out to explore. 

Strawberry Mojito

A twenty-minute stroll from the shores of Lake Lugano, this swish little apartment is perfect for a couple or solo traveller. The living area is set around an L-shape, so the dine-in kitchen feels separate from the sleeping quarters, despite it being a studio. Trinkets and object d’art on glass shelves add a touch of character. Come bedtime, a murphy bed transforms the living room into a bedroom. Within the building, you’ve got access to a gym, lounges and a communal working space.

Exploring Lugano is easy on foot from your central location. A twenty-five-minute walk through the picture-perfect streets sees you at Piazza della Riforma for a bit of Swiss-Italian aperitvo in one of the pavement cafés. Stock up on fresh, local produce two days a week at the farmer’s market, a twenty-minute walk away. 

Bubble by the Lake

Just a stone’s throw from Lake Como and within walking distance of the charming town of Lenno, this villa promises peace and quiet on Como’s western shore. You’ll have lake views to admire and plenty of outdoor space to soak them up – think a private pool, shaded terraces, balconies, and an outdoor lounge and dining area. Three of the bedrooms offer an extra single bed, which makes a great choice for families, though a group of close friends could make it work, too. And while the villa feels like its own retreat, we expect you’ll want to make the most of the lake, local trattorias and Spiaggia di Lenno, which are all within walking distance.

Bellagio Dream

Take in the beautiful vistas of the lake and the mountains from this home’s balcony. There are views from the large living room and main bedroom, too. This apartment is perfect for families or friends looking for a relaxing holiday in the Italian Lakes. The home is around 1 kilometre from Lake Lugano and the centre of the village of Porlezza. Here you’ll find plenty of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants, as well as a small beach and the Porlezza Lakeshore Park.

The Pearl of Porlezza

Just a stone’s throw from the banks of Lake Lugano, this stylish, modern apartment is ready to ease you into a heavenly, relaxing stay – this is Paradiso, of course. 
 
Contemporary furnishings and large windows provide a cool, sophisticated welcome in the open-plan living area where the sofas beckon hours lounging with a good book and the sleek kitchen is all set to help you cook up homemade feasts. 
 
Gaze out onto views of the lake and its surrounding mountains – gorgeous at any time of day. 
 
At the end of the night, your comfortable bedroom waits to drift you into a peaceful night’s sleep, leaving you rested and ready for another day of fun. 
 
Speaking of adventures that await, you’ve also got access to a resident’s garden across the street where a diving board is primed to let you jump straight into Lake Lugano’s crystal clear waters. You’re also a fourteen-minute stroll from Parco Panoramico Paradiso, while countless restaurants, shops and bars wait to be discovered along the water’s edge. With the Sentiero dell'Olivo hiking path and the picturesque village of Gandria both also a fifteen-minute drive away, you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to scenic ways to spend your days.


Paradiso Found

This apartment set beside the lesser-known (but no less glitzy) Lake Lugano has to be seen to be believed. Housed in an 18th-century villa, the original frescoes and terrazzo flooring are impressive, as are the views of the lake and mountains seen from a private, partially covered dining and seating terrace. Set in a pedestrianised area, it’s blissfully quiet here. Yet you’re just a short walk from Osteno, with its authentic trattorias and bars. Meanwhile, Lake Lugano is just twenty minutes on foot. Why not charter a boat to hop over to the Swiss city of Lugano for the day? Known as the Monte Carlo of Switzerland, you’ll be in good company.

Postcard from Osteno

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

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

Modern, bright and beautiful as it is, nothing's going to beat the outdoor area here. With ample seating, including an alfresco dining table under a flowering pergola, looking out over the glistening lake, you can see why this one made our collection. We also like the bathtub facing the door so you can even admire the views from inside. Because of the perched location of this home, you'll have to climb steps up to it, but it'll all be worth it for the breathtaking panorama of Lake Como. Speak to your host about boat trips, helicopter rides and more.

The Lake

The views of Lake Como from this home are simply gorgeous – we could sit on the balcony here gazing out over the gently rippling water to the mountains for hours. You can enjoy the incredible vistas from the terrace too, where you can relax on the sun loungers or dine alfresco. Whip up some tortelli di zucca in the sleek, dove grey kitchen for dinner. On chilly evenings gather around the fire or get some rest in the stylish bedrooms with their ornate wallpaper. 

Situated in Argegno, there are a range of eateries within a five-minute walk. Further afield, the alpine city of Lecco, with its splendid Basilica di San Nicolò, is eleven minutes in the car. Or walk the trails of the stunning Monte Barro Regional Park, a sixteen-minute drive from this lovely home.



Watching The Boats Go By

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.
