Waterfront holiday rentals in Ticino

My husband, 6yo daughter, and I stayed at Carolina's apartment for two nights. The large terrace and the view of the lake and mountains are amazing - this alone is worth the stay. The apartment itself, though, was also very clean, comfortable, and spacious. The elevator directly to the apartment is convenient, and parking was very easy. The location is excellent - a quick walk to the lake, and we also walked to Locarno, stopping at multiple playgrounds along the way. There is a Coop gas station with a market nearby for quick groceries, and a bus station is also close. We had lovely autumn weather while there, so I can't speak to temperature control in the warmer months, but we did see several AC units, and there were fans available. All in all, I highly recommend and hope to return sometime very soon!

Practically furnished apartment directly on the lake with a very nice, large terrace. Swimming spot right behind the house. Very well connected with public transport. Post bus and train a few minutes walk away.

We were greeted by a very nice lady and concerned about our well-being, Mike is very responsive in communication, very nice accommodation, the environment is ideal for enjoying the mountain and the river.

Very cozy place with a big garden and plenty of space.

We really enjoyed the direct location on the lake, just like the proximity to restaurants and gelateria! The apartment is quietly located and we felt very comfortable from the beginning. Yvonne is an extremely friendly host and always responded very quickly to our inquiries. We highly recommend this apartment!

We had a wonderful stay at Luisa’s apartment in Lugano! The location was perfect, peaceful yet within easy reach of everything and the apartment was exactly as pictured: clean and comfortable. Luisa was an incredibly kind and helpful host, offering local tips that made our stay even more special. We really enjoyed a walk to Gandria for a beautiful lunch on a patio, then take the scenic boat ride back. Dinner at Grotto dei Pescatori was another highlight. Highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Lugano!

Very nice apartment very well equipped and warm. The hostess is very welcoming and responsive. The village of Realp in itself is not the most beautiful but from the apartment we do not notice it and we are literally at the edge of the cross-country ski trail and with many possibilities for ski touring.

We jad a wonderful time ! the place is awesome and we would have stayed longuer if we had been able to.

Enjoyed the tranquility and beauty of this place for four days. Everything spotless - and with all amenities. House sits in a private park with a couple of other houses. True paradise - we would love to come again. You can walk down to the lago - though ended up taking the car most of the time to get to restaurants. A couple of very nice ones in the area - Riva/Shaka (beach club vibe), Osteria Vairano (magnificent view), Rodolfo (excellent local cuisine)

We had a fantastic stay at this charming and beautifully renovated home! The space is stylishly furnished with great attention to detail, and the kitchen was well equipped. One of our favorite parts was the lovely jasmine scent that greeted us each time we came in, adding a relaxing and fresh touch. The outdoor area is a true highlight — peaceful and beautifully set up for relaxing in the evening. It’s a hidden gem, tucked away yet close to so many things to do in the area. We couldn’t have asked for a better spot and would absolutely return!

The place was ideal for 2 couples with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. Everything was there and more. It was clean and it had a spacious terrace with a one million dollar view. Well-equipped kitchen, wood for fireplace were ready. Christoph gave us tips and he was accommodating at check-in and checkout. Thank you for the lovely stay - we will be happy to come back.

Unique house with stunning views and great character

Fabulous stay. Extremely helpful, friendly and responsive host. Fantastic location with breathtaking views. Would absolutely stay there again.

We had a wonderful week in this romantic rustico. The kids loved the winding cottage and the stairs and paths in the garden. The stairs to the upper bedroom are really very steep and the door to the lower room very narrow. For sporty people everything is no problem😉. The house has everything it needs, well equipped kitchen, we also loved the fireplace. The outdoor area is unbeatable - we were lucky we had nice weather. Especially the morning vibe with views of the river and mountains was sensational. Thanks a lot!

Perfect airbnb for your stay on lake Lugano!

Silvia's small Rustico apartment was beautiful and practical. To the entrance of the apartment, you climb an external staircase two floors. The sleeping area with two beds in the apartment itself is also only accessible via a steep staircase. At night you also have to use these stairs to get to the toilet. It was still doable for us. But for guests with difficulty walking and balance, this could be an issue. The location in the small village on the mountainside was quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed this apartment and this area very much.

Marugg's place exceeded all of our expectations!!!! Lugano was our final stop on our 2 week family trip through Italy. We experienced many beautiful places throughout the 2 weeks but Marugg's place exceeded them all!!! The attention to detail was phenomenal. The location was 'perfetto,' the views spectacular and the home pristine. Our grandchildren made excellent use of the pool and the outdoor space was incredible! We enjoyed our morning coffee on the expansive patio area soaking in the tranquil views of the lake and all of the beautiful flowers. The smell of honeysuckle abounded outdoors ~ Marugg's home truly encompassed all of the senses. We cannot recommend it enough and we can't wait to return on our next visit to see our Swiss family! Marugg, thank you so much for your kind hospitality! We feel honored to have been welcomed into your exceptional home. We made so many beautiful memories with our family. We will treasure them forever! Until next time ...

One of the most stunning locations you can imagine on Lugano. Right on the lake, 3 storeyed and superbly kept. Don't think. Just go for it if you are considering Lugano. Fantabulous views.

Great location - Fantastic views 😍

We had a wonderful stay at Andrin's place. You don't actually need more than this view from the balcony, but also the rest of the apartment is nice and well decorated. See you soon, hopefully!

The accommodation is very well located and lovingly furnished. Ideal for families with children! Communication was simple and uncomplicated. We will be happy to come back!

We are very satisfied with the accommodation. The price-performance ratio is great, the accommodation even offers canoes that you can use.

Great location, the place is exactly as in the pictures. Very friendly and helpful receptionist.

The Grischina in Locarno is a beautiful apartment on the Lido di Locarno with great views of Lake Maggiore and the mountains. The terrace is huge... All rooms are clean and cozy. We felt very comfortable. The kitchen is very well equipped. The bathhouse is right across the street and the center of Locarno is a quick walk away. The nearest bus stop is a 2-minute walk away. We had a great 5 days in this quiet yet central apartment. We will definitely come back. Arrivederci Grischina!
