Location
The apartment is in the middle of Melano, between the historic centre (4-minute walk) and the shores of Lake Lugano. It is just a 6-minute walk from Melano’s beach, with a beautiful lido. It is an excellent location for a relaxing holiday exploring the Italian speaking Ticino canton.

Known as “Il Magnifico Borgo” (the Magnificent Town) Mendrisio (8 minutes) is one of the gems of Ticino. Its cobbled streets and vibrant squares are full of tempting boutiques and excellent restaurants. Wednesday is market day and here you can pick up fresh, high-quality ingredients to cook at home.

The nearby town of Bissone (7 minutes) is a former fishing village which overlooks the Melide causeway across Lake Lugano. This is the only link between this southern part of Ticino to the rest of Switzerland. Melide is the home of Swissminiatur (19 minutes), Switzerland in miniature, with more than 120 models of Switzerland’s most important landmarks and transport system.

The closest international airports are in Italy - Milan Malpensa 1 hour by car, or Milan Linate, a 1 hour and 10-minute journey. If you are arriving by train the closest station is Melano-Maroggia (2-minute drive)
