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.

Local guide
About Switzerland
It’s easy to think of Switzerland as Europe’s goody-two-shoes older sister – the country is home to the United Nations’ European headquarters, luxury watches, and enviable economic stability. That’s before you even mention the romantic Medieval towns, fairytale castles and chateaus, placid alpine lakes, yodeling youths, and cuckoo-clock bell towers. Or the chocolate – oh the chocolate! – which is served on glass counters in old-fashioned shops across the land....
