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.
