Sleek and sophisticated, this apartment is ideal for families or groups of friends planning a trip to picture-perfect Lugano. Located right in the heart of the city, you'll settle into the Swiss way of life in no time at all.

Step inside, and you'll find a contemporary space that's full of natural light. It's a great place to kick back and relax between your adventures – flop down on the sofa with a good book, or get busy in the kitchen with some fresh local ingredients. There's even a balcony where you can sip your morning coffee, and if you need to work then one of the bedrooms has its own desk where you can catch up on emails.

From here, you're just a five-minute walk away from the gorgeous lakeside. Join the Lungolago di Lugano walking trail, and marvel at the stunning scenery with views across the water to the mountains beyond. The marvelous green space of Parco Ciani is also just a five-minute walk away, and culture fans will be delighted that the Museo D'arte Della Svizzera Italiana is the same distance. And, when you get hungry, there are plenty of nearby restaurants serving up tasty Swiss-Italian dishes to enjoy.
