Stunning views are what caught our eye at this lakefront apartment. The wraparound balcony is the perfect place to enjoy them, whether you're tucking into an alfresco breakfast or savouring a sundowner. Although the interiors may not stack up to the surrounding scenery, they are practical and comfortable. There's also a sofa bed for two, but the space is a tad snug with it in use. Location-wise, Campione d'Italia is an Italian enclave entirely in Switzerland. Gourmet restaurants and local shops are nearby, while the other villages along Lake Como can be reached by ferry or car.

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

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

Whether you're visiting the idyllic city of Lugano for work or fun, this apartment is a great spot to call home during your stay. With an excellent location in the heart of the city, and easy access to the lake, you're sure to settle in within no time at all. 

Take the elevator up to the first floor, and you'll find a contemporary space with a truly tranquil atmosphere. The huge windows flood the open-plan living space with natural light, and the clean tones make it feel bright and airy. Wake up each morning and step straight out onto the balcony from the bedroom to sip your morning coffee and breathe in the fresh air. And, at the end of a long day, the sleek kitchen has everything you need to cook up some tasty dishes. 

The edge of the lake is just a twelve-minute walk from here – join the Lungolago di Lugano walking trail or hop on a boat to marvel at the landscapes from the water. You can take a dip at the Lido di Lugano on warm days, or stroll through the beautiful Parco Ciani to admire the manicured gardens. And, when you get hungry during your adventures, there are plenty of Swiss-Italian restaurants nearby where you can relax and refuel. 

Sweet & Serene

Modern, functional and conveniently located a seven-minute stroll from the peaceful shores of Lugano Lake, this apartment is an excellent base from which to explore Switzerland’s Italian-speaking Ticino region. Inside, a monochromatic colour scheme is emboldened with silver accents in the living space and jewel-toned blue in the main bedroom. You’ll begin your mornings with a cup of coffee on the balcony, breathing in the crisp fresh air, before whipping up a tasty breakfast in the fully-equipped kitchen. 

After plotting your itinerary from the comfort of the plump couch, slip on your sandals and take the leisurely stroll down to the waterfront. Picnic in Ciani Park before wandering into town, just five minutes away, for its palm-lined boulevards, the lovely cathedral of San Lorenzo and the Alprose Chocolate Museum. If you’re keen to expend a little more energy, take the funicular to Mont Bré and hike to Mont Boglia – the views of the Sottoceneri, northern Italy and beyond are utterly unmissable. 

Jewel Blue

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

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

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

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

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

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.
