This bright and modern studio situated in the picturesque town of Lugano is a great place for a couple or a solo traveller to base themselves while they make the most of all that this beautiful Italian-speaking region of Switzerland has to offer. 

While the studio is compact in size, it has all the comforts to make your time a relaxing one – not to mention all the shared facilities which are definitely an added perk. Arrive to be greeted by a light-filled open-plan space, with a huge sofa which easily transforms into a plush double bed. There’s also a dining table for two, perfect for those romantic suppers which you’ll be able to easily rustle up in the well-equipped kitchen area. In case you don’t feel like cooking, there’s also a restaurant and bar downstairs. Later you may want to step outside onto the balcony and share some wine – this is also a great spot for a morning coffee with a view over the mountains. 

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 – the same amount of time it'll take you to get to the shores of the lake. 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.

Come summer or winter, this ground floor apartment is an idyllic jumping off point to explore the stunning region, either on one of the many nearby hiking trails or on the ski slopes. Enjoy a lunchtime barbecue, and tuck into a dinner of fondue or raclette. If your muscle are aching from all the hiking or skiing, take some time out and head to the sauna.

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.

Within the building you’ve got access to a gym, lounges and a co-working space, making this an ideal apartment for business and leisure. While the apartment itself is a stylish space of stone floors, a midnight-blue feature wall and ceramics and pot plants dotted here and there. The kitchenette has everything you need for a quick meal and, come bedtime, a murphy bed folds down to transform the living room into a bedroom.

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

Ascona’s picturesque lakeside promenade and mountain backdrop make for a blissful resort getaway and this easy apartment lies right in its heart. Minimal and bright, a television, dining table and quaint little balcony to sip your espresso on with views out onto the gardens fulfil the list of essentials. The kitchen is compact, but cute and with strips of charming street cafes and restaurants meters away in the Old Town, there is not much need for any more than that. As for the surroundings, Ascona is Switzerland’s lowest lying town and brings you in touching distance of Lake Maggiore, with boat trips, hiking, and biking opportunities. Its 16th Century charm, from the basilica’s high bell tower, to the pedestrianised cobbled streets, as well as the encapsulating mountain surroundings attracts all number of high-flying visitors. This home’s prime location offers you the perfect base from which to explore all the lakeside wonder of the region. 

A Lake Of Intuition

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. Inside, a monochromatic colour scheme is emboldened with silver accents in the living space and jewel-toned blue in the main bedroom. 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.

The interior is a charming and contemporary space that invites you to flop down and chill out. When you get hungry, there's a well-equipped kitchen where you can whip up your favourite dishes – and, you simply must indulge in a fondue night at least once during your stay. Plus, you'll even have your very own balcony, which makes the perfect place to sip a sundowner as you gaze out towards the mountain peaks in the distance.

The shore of Lago Maggiore is just a few minutes away on foot, where you can arrange a boat tour or take a leisurely stroll on dry land. Enjoy a revitalising dip in the thermal baths at Lido Locarno, then pay a visit to the striking Piazza Grande.
