Live the good life at this swish apartment in the Italian-speaking Swiss town of Locarno. Situated just a stone's throw away from the glittering Lago Maggiore, it's a magical spot at the foot of the Alps. Step inside, and you'll find a thoroughly modern space with a crisp colour scheme and modern silhouettes. The open-plan set-up makes it easy to socialise with your guests while you cook, eat, and relax together in style – there's even a fondue and raclette set provided. And, you'll love the private balcony, where you can sip a glass of wine in the fresh air and catch a glimpse of the rugged peaks beyond. You can wander down to the lake's shore in just a few minutes for a walk or a revitalising dip in the thermal baths at Lido Locarno. Organise a boat trip to explore Lago Maggiore from the water, before refueling on some delicious local dishes at one of the restaurants in the town. And, if you drive north into the mountains, you can go mountain biking, hiking, or even paragliding.
