From the holiday apartment, guests can enjoy the best of Lugano in just a 20-25 minute walk. They can explore the massive and historic Piazza della Reforma with a large selection of restaurants and the vibrant life of Lugano, they can visit the iconic Parco Ciani, spend a whole night having fun at Lugano Casino, relax in Lido di Lugano and, if they are into sports, then they can discover paragliding in Lugano right here.

At a 12-15 minutes drive from the apartment, guests will find the lovely Tassino Park, Manzoni Square, the Water Jet of Paradiso and the funicular to the sunniest hill in Lugano, Monte Brè, where they can enjoy dining on the sunny terraces of the restaurants perched on the summit. For day trips, the amazing Swizz Minitur and Valsolda are a 20-25 minutes drive from the holiday apartment.

A car would be helpful if you have a lot of luggage
This place has beautiful views but it is a bit of a hike to public transportation up a hill. Not bad if you are fit but not really walkable with luggage or daily if you are not use to it.
