Location
The lovely apartment is not only well equipped but also well-served to explore the lake town of Lugano and neighboring attractions. The main square of the town is only 10 minutes from the apartment and offers a selection of restaurants, shops, cafes and a great opportunity to be a part of the timeless culture of Lugano. Lido di Lugano is barely 6 minutes on foot from the apartment and has wonderful sandy beaches, an Olympic swimming pool with heating facility, a diving pool with trampolines, a beach volley court, a football pitch and a child-friendly pool. The famed Parco Ciani (3 minutes), also known as the green heart of Lugano, is perfect for taking pleasant walks admiring the lake and greenery that comprises oaks, limes, sycamores and other such plans typical of the Ticino region.
Guests can easily take a boat or sail in the lake watching the gorgeous landscape surrounded by mountains. For more views, Monte San Salvatore peak (easily reached by funicular) is a great option. One can also hike through the village of Brè and enjoy the views from Monte Brè. Other interesting places are San Lorenzo Cathedral (15 minutes), Gandria (6 minutes) and Swissminiatur (22 minutes) besides the various historical and cultural attractions in the city like the art galleries, museums, churches and historical buildings with distinct Baroque and Renaissance architecture. Food lovers will also love the town since apart from the highly developed local cuisine, guests can find food from other places too very easily.
The nearest international airport is about 84 kilometers away.
The apartment is heated and features a kitchen with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. The bathroom offers hair dryers and bidets. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker.

Das Apartment war sauber, aber nicht zufriedenstellend ausgestattet. Nicht alles funktionierte. Zudem fanden im Gebäude und auch auf dem Flur Bauarbeiten statt, über die ich nicht informiert war.
L’endroit est sympa , situé à côté du lac, il y a quelques restaurants autour ainsi que des magasins alimentaires. Les transports publics aussi.
Ce qui nous a déplu c’est qu’il n’y a pas de parc privé pour la voiture. Ça coûte très cher de se garer à Lugano. Il y a des zones bleus d’accord, cependant juste pour 1h. On est là-bas en vacances pas pour changer le disque toutes les heures. Il y a l’application EasyPark qui est pratique pour le parking payant. Cependant payer 70.- de parking pour 4 jours, aïe ça fait mal au porte monnaie.
Il vous faudrait aviser sur le site internet que les places de parking sont payantes et chères. Privilégier les personnes de venir en train ou à moto.
