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.

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.

The Pearl of Porlezza

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.

There was once a medieval watchtower on the spot that now holds Miraggio, and when you see the panorama, it becomes clear why. Lots of places in Italy have nice views, but these are beyond anything we’ve seen before. It’s completely private, a secluded hillside where you can retreat from the bustle of the world and feel like there’s nothing except you and the lake. This isolation might be a problem, were there not so much to do in the home. Not only the pool, but billiards, a gym, a garden, even a grand piano if you’re feeling up to playing it. And if, somehow, these views weren’t enough, there’s a cable car within walking distance that will give you some even more dramatic vistas.

Miraggio

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.

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 fantastic location, this apartment is the perfect retreat.

Lakeside Chic

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.

When you want to explore, Ossuccio with its pretty pastel houses is nearby. Stay here and you’re sure to create unforgettable memories.

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.

This lakeside villa in Argegno, a sleepy town near the Swiss border, is the stuff that dreams are made of. Stylish and perfectly located, it's the ideal spot for a group of friends or family who are ready to fall in love with the stunning Como landscapes. 

Step inside, and you'll find a serene space that will help you settle in within no time at all. The sage green sofas, sleek breakfast bar, and home office provide plenty of places to work or relax, depending on your plans for the day. Huge windows flood the rooms with natural light and frame the fantastic views of the lake. Slide open the patio doors and head out to the patio, where you can breathe in the fresh mountain air as you admire the stunning vistas across the water. There's even a Jacuzzi to soak in, and an alfresco dining area for long, lavish meals – and your host will provide a chilled bottle of Prosecco. 

If you want to take a boat trip, then the marina is just a five-minute walk away from your front door, and you'll also find an outdoor lakeside swimming pool where you can take a dip. Hikers can join one of the local trails for an invigorating hike through the incredible scenery, and when you get hungry you can take your pick from the traditional Italian restaurants back in Argegno.
