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.
Bissone (17 minutes) is a former fishing village that overlooks the Melide causeway across Lake Lugano. This is the only link between this southern part of Ticino to 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)
