Nice to haves

Views of Northern Italy's peaceful Lake Maggiore don't come much better than this. It's a scene best admired from the private balcony of this smart townhouse perched on the hillsides overlooking the Borromeo's islands. Inside, the newly refurbished, pared-back interiors are perfect for a fuss-free stay for two, and the pretty suntrap garden to soak up the Italian sunshine is a nice touch. You'll need a car here as it's pretty remote with no amenities to walk to – but don't let that put you off.

As the sun sets across the mountains, you’ll love coming together around the large dining table to raise a glass of local wine, and share the beauty of Italian living. 

The Sofia Rose

Walking into this bright, open home is dreamy. Two large patio doors welcome in the beautiful sunlight, reflecting on the gallery white walls. Step outside the doors to a mesmerising view of Lake Maggiore and the Swiss Alps, a sight that doesn't get old. Enjoy breakfasts, lunches, dinners, and drinks on the large balcony with the best seat in the house. You'll especially love having your morning coffee here, with the morning sunlight dancing on the calm waters. Locarno proudly holds the title for the warmest place in Switzerland, so we imagine you'll be spending time lounging by the shared pool, dipping in for a swim when the afternoon heat blazes on. When it's time to explore, you're under a twenty-minute walk or five-minute drive from the heart of Locarno. Known for its fondue and local wines, food lovers will adore walking its cobbled streets and stopping into small, traditional food and drink spots. And thanks to its proximity to Italy, Lake Maggiore is actually shared between Italy and Switzerland, you can be sure to enjoy plenty of delicious pastas, pizzas, and gelato. Meander home after a wholesome evening in the city and enjoy a night cap under the pergola in the garden.

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.

We were sold on those views of Lake Maggiore alone – and that was before we'd even clapped eyes on the panoramic sunny terrace and newly refurbished interiors of this townhouse. As we're finickity, the downstairs living space feels a little bijou, but with that covered panoramic balcony outside, we don't think you'll mind. And kids will love the novelty of the top-floor mezzanine bedroom with a TV den to spill out into. Perched amidst the hillsides, 700 metres above the lake, you're quietly removed from the bustle. But when it's time to dip your toes into lakeside living, Stresa's grand promenades and history-rich streets bustling with trattorias are just a five-minute drive away.

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.

Think rustic stone walls and terracotta floors. The space is cleverly designed, with a screened-off kitchen and big windows that open onto your own section of terrace beneath the wisteria. You can also make use of the shared gardens. Restaurants are a short walk away, and optional extras like breakfast or even a butler service can be arranged.

Lakeside Nights

Shared Pool

To say the views of Lake Como seen from this apartment are remarkable is an understatement. It’s a panorama best admired from the private wraparound balcony or the complex's shared poolside. Inside, the open-plan living and kitchen isn’t the most palatial, and that canary yellow bedroom might be too perky for some. That said, it’s all beautifully cared for and perfect for a small family sharing. Nestled in the quaint village of Perledo, you’ve got all of Lake Como’s best bits within easy reach, starting with Varenna, just a short drive away.

Lugano Lullaby

Rooftop Terrace

Experience the best of Switzerland and Italy, in this sleek and minimal apartment located in southern Switzerland’s, Italian-speaking resort city.  A stay in Locarno is as dreamy as you might imagine – swimming in Lake Maggiore, sipping local wine at the waterfront restaurants and exploring the 12th-century old town’s Castello Visconteo. Sounds pretty idyllic, doesn't it?    

Sitting moments away from the majestic lake and surrounded by the Swiss Alps, you’ll find this home waiting to showcase the mountainscape vistas from its balcony. Here, you can sip your morning coffee with the warmth of the sun on your face (this is one of Switzerland’s warmest areas), enjoy turning pages of your holiday read accompanied by the light breeze, and savour a glass of locally-produced Merlot as the golden hour approaches.

It’s easy to make the most of the scintillating scenery with expansive glass-fronted walls that invite said golden light to fill the minimalist space. We love the sleek and elegant dining room for intimate dinners of oozy fondue and crusty bread, whilst post-dinner card games are best enjoyed in the cosy living space. 

Pick up your Gruyere and fontina for your fondue dinner from one of the local fromageries in town before stopping off for a bite at one of the charming restaurants on the cobbled Piazza Grande. If you’re coming in August for the Locarno Film Festival, your home is located moments away from the screen, so you’ll be able to catch every scene. If you’re looking to connect with nature, make a visit to The Camellia Park where you’ll find over 900 varieties of the Camellia flower.

Maggiore Minimalism

Tailor-made for two, this chic apartment promises a relaxing stay in Como. As you’d expect with a studio, space is limited here, but you’ll find everything needed for a comfortable stay. And the cherry on top for us is the outdoor space. Soak up the sun as you dine alfresco, kick back on a lounger with your holiday read, or simply drink in the views across Como and the lake. Location-wise, you’re mere minutes from the historic city centre and Lake Como, so whether you’re sightseeing, shopping or planning a meal out, this home will tick all your boxes. 

Como Classic

Originally a 17th-century convent, this home boasts a modern touch while still retaining a nod to its past. Consisting of three independent apartments, it’s an ideal base for an extended family or group of friends on an Italian getaway, with space to socialise together and privacy when needed. But the cherry on the cake? For us, it has to be the views over Lake Como. With each apartment boasting a private terrace, you can soak up the lake vistas wherever you are. And, if you can tear yourself away from this hillside sanctuary, there’s a restaurant within walking distance, and charming Cernobbio is a mere four-minute drive away. 

Lakeside Sanctuary

You’ll find this apartment a mere one-minute walk from the shores of Lake Como. Here, there are a variety of dining options and shops to discover, while Giardino della Valle and the Villa Erba exhibition and trade centre are also a short stroll away. The home itself has modern decor, and the open-plan living space sleeps guests three and four on a sofa bed. There’s also a terrace area filled with palms to enjoy the Italian sun. Last but not least, there’s free parking in a private garage – this place is great for exploring Lombardy.

Lake Como Hideaway

This little studio is in a great spot in Cressa. It's next to Bogogno Golf Club and only about half an hour from Lake Maggiore or the airport. You can walk to a few restaurants and bars, or head into Novara for a bit more buzz. Inside, the bedroom’s up on a mezzanine and there's a sofa bed downstairs, so it’s not the most private setup. It works well for a family or close friends, though. It's part of a renovated farmhouse, so you get loads of character, plus your own patio section and leafy gardens to share. You can even add breakfast, or go all out with a butler service.

Cressa Hideaway

Set in the village of Brunate, this home offers wonderful views of Lake Como from its large terrace. Inside this apartment is impressive too with its high ceilings in the open-plan living space – there’s a second living area on the mezzanine too.
