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.

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....
