There's more than a touch of magic at this gorgeous home, located in the fairytale village of Gandria. Located on the shore of Lake Lugano, it's the perfect spot for a romantic getaway or a base for adventures in the great outdoors. Follow the steps from the road down to your front door, and you'll discover a charming retreat where you can truly relax. The exposed stone walls, open fireplace and sophisticated colour scheme create a gorgeous blend of old and new. You can wake up to sip your morning coffee in the fresh air as you chat with your guests and admire the views across the lake. And, on your return, the comfy sofa is ready and waiting for you to curl up and rest up in style. With picture-perfect Gandria right on your doorstep, you can stroll through the cobbled streets and dine on hearty fare at the local restaurants. The city of Lugano is just a twelve-minute drive away, where you'll find a lido, several museums, and a selection of upmarket boutiques to peruse. And, if you're feeling active, there are hiking and cycling trails nearby that will guide you through the rugged mountain terrain.

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....
