the house is in a really nice and quiet location, but there is not a single grocery store or, as described, a butcher's shop, etc. the nearest shop is still relatively far if you want to shop without a bike or car, the shop only has the bare essentials, shopping, advisable in Mendrisio and the stock in times WLAN did not work for several days! The pool was only filled at our request after the first week of vacation :-(
