Honeymoon Love Retreat 2, Brione Sopra Minusio, Switzerland
Escape to this hillside beauty with a shared pool surrounded by greenery, offering lake and mountain views, and open-air dining.
Honeymoon Love Retreat 2 in Brione Sopra Minusio is a serene hideaway created for couples seeking peace, romance, and timeless memories. Newly built just a few years ago beside a gentle mountain stream, the villa offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Surrounded by lush greenery on a quiet hillside, the apartment opens to breathtaking views over Lake Maggiore—from Bellinzona across Ascona to Italy—making it a true paradise for discerning guests who appreciate beauty, tranquility, and nature’s harmony.
Whether you are looking for peaceful togetherness or adventurous days outdoors, this retreat is ideal for all couples as well as sports and outdoor enthusiasts, including hikers, golfers, mountain bikers, water sports lovers, canyoning fans, paragliders, skydivers, bungee jumpers, motorcyclists, and anyone who loves exploring the outdoors. The shared swimming pool overlooking Lake Maggiore adds a refreshing highlight to your stay, inviting you to relax and soak in the sweeping views. From the moment you step inside the apartment, you are welcomed into a bright living room that flows seamlessly into a modern open-plan kitchen. Fully equipped with an induction hob, oven, dishwasher, fridge with freezer, coffee machine, and electric kettle, it allows couples to prepare and enjoy meals effortlessly. Natural light fills the inviting dining area, turning each breakfast or sunset dinner into a moment framed by stunning scenery.
The cozy double bedroom feels exceptionally warm and intimate, thanks to real wooden parquet floors, rustic brick details, and beautifully crafted wooden walls and furniture. Every corner radiates comfort and charm. Step out onto the lovingly maintained terrace, furnished with a dining table and chairs, and you’ll find yourself immersed in the gentle rhythm of nature—listening to the soft rustling of the stream, watching plants bloom and fade with the seasons, and enjoying meals surrounded by vibrant greenery and cheerful birdsong. The breathtaking lake view can be admired from every room, making the landscape an ever-present companion throughout your stay.
Peace and relaxation are honored here just as much as curiosity and exploration. For those seeking a deeper connection with nature, guests may request a complimentary guided tour of Beate’s certified “Garden of the Future.” This enchanting experience reveals the world of wild plants, the life sustained around the brook, and the intricate balance of nature. The garden celebrates plants not merely as decoration but as vital living beings that offer food, shelter, and nesting places for native insects, birds, and animals. It is a gentle reminder that nature is both fragile and resilient, and that its adaptability mirrors our own.
To ensure ultimate comfort and security, the retreat includes thoughtful features such as mosquito protection on all windows, security bars on all windows and doors, and interiors that remain pleasantly cool in summer. A covered parking space with a Huawei e-car charger adds convenience for travelers, completing an experience designed with care and attention to detail. Honeymoon Love Retreat 2 is more than a place to stay—it is a little paradise inviting you to slow down, reconnect with nature, and enjoy moments that become cherished memories. Treat yourself to a break and let this magical haven surprise you with its beauty, tranquility, and soulful charm.
