A gorgeous 1st-floor apartment with panoramic views over Lake Lugano to Mount San Salvatore on the opposite shore. The stone house is divided into 2 charming apartments. It is on the Swiss-Italian border close to the Italian enclave of Campione d’Italia. The apartment sleeps 2 people and makes the perfect base for a holiday or a romantic getaway in this beautiful region.
The house’s traditional exterior hides an elegant, airy living/dining room with large windows looking out over the lake to the mountains beyond. Tucked under the eaves, the seating is furnished with an L-shaped sofa and a wood-burning stove. At the other end of the room, there is a round wooden dining table with 4 chairs.
The separate, modern kitchen is beautifully equipped with everything you might need. There is an induction hob, oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher and coffee machine. The kitchen has a small dining table next to large windows with lake views.

Location
The apartment is on the edge of the village of Pugerna. It is surrounded by nature and is a good starting point for many hikes through spectacular landscapes. It is an excellent location for a relaxing holiday or to explore the fascinating Ticino canton, which is home to many beautiful towns.
Nearby Bissone (17 minutes) is a former fishing village which overlooks the Melide causeway across Lake Lugano. This is the only link between this southern part of Ticino and the rest of Switzerland. Melide is the home of Swissminiatur (19 minutes), Switzerland in miniature, with more than 120 models of Switzerland’s most important landmarks and transport system.
Known as “Il Magnifico Borgo” (the Magnificent Town) Mendrisio (25 minutes) is one of the gems of Ticino. Its cobbled streets and vibrant squares are full of tempting boutiques and excellent restaurants.
Lugano is only a 35-minute drive from the apartment. The city hosts many festivals throughout the year, including the “Luganomusica” festival every summer. Lugano is a good starting point to board a boat for a day out on the lake, to really appreciate the scenery.
For self-catering, the Lugano farmers’ market (Tuesdays and Fridays) in Via Carducci is the place to go to pick up the best ingredients.
The closest international airports are in Italy - Milan Malpensa 1 hour 10 minutes by car, or Milan Linate, a 1 hour and 45-minute journey. If you are arriving by train the closest station is Melano-Maroggia (16 minutes).
