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

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 in the hills of Cernobbio, this eco-friendly home offers a serene escape for a family or group of friends. There’s so much to love about this home, with plenty of space to spread out and enjoy some quiet time or socialise as a group. But, the standout for us is the view. Whether you’re drinking in the lake vistas from the indoor or outdoor space, it’s something you’ll never tire of. And, when the scenery pulls you in, it’s a mere four-minute drive to town and the lake, where delicious Italian eateries and adventures await. 

Timeless Tranquillity

Picturesquely nestled between stunning mountains and the glacial Lake Lugano, this cosy studio apartment is a great base for a couple or a solo traveller wanting to make the most out of all this beautiful Italian-speaking part of Switzerland has to offer. While the studio might be compact in size, it has all the comforts to make your stay a relaxing one, and the shared facilities make this place all the more attractive.
 
Inside your home will greet you with a bright and inviting open-plan space, with a sofa which transforms into a comfy double bed. There’s also a dining table where you can share meals you'll easily rustle up in the kitchenette area – if you don’t feel like cooking, there’s also a restaurant and bar downstairs. Later, you may choose to step out onto your private balcony and enjoy a glass of wine in the evening or a freshly brewed espresso in the morning. 

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. 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.

Lake & Mountains 

Close to shops and restaurants in Cunardo, and less than half an hour’s drive from Lake Maggiore, this cosy apartment is in a great spot for exploring a picturesque corner of Italy. While this home is on the smaller side, it contains everything you need, including space to cook and eat after a busy day of sightseeing. Solo trip or romantic getaway, this petite yet practical pad is ideal for a fuss-free break, and packs plenty of character into a compact layout.

The Apothecary Shop

Halfway between Italy’s Varese and Switzerland’s Lugano, this cosy Cunardo apartment puts you right in the middle of lake country. The interiors are simple and practical – there's no living room, but the bedroom has plenty of space to spread out. Step outside and you’ll find friendly local trattorias and bars that make you feel right at home. And with Switzerland just a half-hour drive away, you can cross the border for lunch and be back in time for an evening aperitivo.

The Rustic Retreat

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

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'

This modern appointed villa, nestled along Lombardy's picturesque lakeshore, offers an idyllic retreat for guests seeking tranquility and beauty. With its own private pool, exclusive sandy beach, and boat access, this lakeside haven promises an unforgettable stay. The villa features spacious living areas that perfectly frame breathtaking lake views, while air-conditioned bedrooms ensure comfort. On the ground level, a luxurious suite with a round bed and Jacuzzi hot tub opens up to a lush garden overlooking the sparkling lake. A sauna and additional bedrooms complete the lower level. Outdoors, guests can indulge in sunbathing on the terrace, enjoy alfresco dining, or relax by the pool. Grill enthusiasts can showcase their skills on the BBQ or wood oven. With nearby attractions such as Laveno and Lake Como within easy reach, this serene oasis is an ideal base for exploring the region's treasures.

Blissful Waters

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

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

This contemporary studio apartment is the ideal bolthole for exploring the beautiful city of Lugano. Located within walking distance of the city's cultural highlights as well as conference centres so it's perfectly suited for anyone, whether you're travelling for business or pleasure.

We love how easily this apartment lends itself to any occasion. A cosy bedroom, a living room for watching the smart TV, a workspace, or a romantic dining space. Its classic, neutral-toned decor is sleek and timeless, while still having a homeliness to it. 

Even if you're in Lugano on business, it'd be remiss not to explore this wonderful city with its unique blend of Swiss and Italian cultures. The Museum of Art of Italian Switzerland is not to be missed, and you can even sail between Switzerland and Italy for a day trip. Or, you can head to the Old Town to soak up the mix of Swiss-style buildings and Italian-style piazzas. And while there's so much to see, eat, drink, and do in Lugano, the city's highlight is the dazzling Lake Lugano – you can take in all of its beauty from the waterfront of Parco Ciani.

After spending dreamy days wandering around this picture-perfect city, you have a bar right downstairs for a nightcap under the stars. Or, pick up a bottle from the local market to be enjoyed in the comfort of your own cosy apartment, nibbling on antipasto around the dining table.
