Description Lakeside Nights: Lugano

With its glistening lake, framed by breathtaking mountain views and splendid pastel-hued architecture, the city of Lugano impresses with its winning combination of natural beauty and cultural delights. You'll find this home nestled in Lugano's beating heart, a seven-minute walk from the enchanting lakeside park, Parco Civico and a nine-minute walk from Lugano Cathedral.

It's fair to say that this home echoes the sophistication of its surroundings. Inside, it's a pleasing canvas of white walls and wooden floors adorned with stylish decor and modern fixtures. We love the open-plan living area, an inviting gathering place with access to the private balcony. Start your mornings here, sipping coffee in the crisp, lakeside air, before slipping out to grab breakfast – there's a patisserie a two-minute walk away.

Spend your days strolling the old town's cobblestone streets, hopping between renaissance churches, decadent eateries and swish boutiques. If you're craving time spent in nature, take a fifteen-minute bus ride to the Monte Brè Funicular and enjoy spectacular views from Switzerland's sunniest mountain.
