Lake Lugano Villa · Garden & Pergola · Garage · 2 Min Walk to Swim
Wake up to the lake. The water is a 2-minute walk — just grab a towel. Behind the house, Monte San Giorgio (UNESCO) rises into hiking trails. This is the quiet side of Lake Lugano.
The house has two fully self-contained floors, each with its own open-plan kitchen, living room, and two bedrooms — ideal for two families or a group who want togetherness and privacy. The whole house is yours.
Upper floor: Large balcony overlooking the lake and mountains — this is where you'll have morning coffee. Open-plan kitchen and living room. Two bedrooms (1 queen, 1 twin). Bathroom with shower.
Lower floor: Direct access to the garden and pergola — this is where you'll have dinner. Open-plan kitchen and living room with floor heating. Two bedrooms (1 queen, 1 twin). Modern bathroom.
Both kitchens are fully equipped for group cooking, with espresso machines, dishwashers, ovens, and everything you need. The garden seats everyone under the pergola. A garage plus 3 parking spaces are included — hard to find on Lake Lugano.
The house sits between Lake Lugano and the forest, with Morcote visible across the water. Take the boat to Morcote (spring to autumn), drive to Lugano in 30 minutes, or hop across to Italy — Porto Ceresio is one bus stop away, with a direct train to Milan. High-speed WiFi (400 Mbps) is included throughout.
Brusino Arsizio is a small lakeside village with a charming old town just a short walk from the house. The lake is steps away for swimming, and the mountains behind offer endless hiking. Come for a peaceful getaway with space for everyone.

Very nice house nearby the village and swimming spots at the lake. A lot of space and everything you need for a vacation for a big group. The host was always contactable and very friendly.
Finding somewhere that would house eight people and be affordable was tough but this house checked both boxes. It’s right on the lake and conveniently located near both Switzerland and Italy. Lots of restaurants and multiple grocery stores nearby.
**Unhygienisch und gefährlich – keinesfalls zu empfehlen!**
Wir hatten große Erwartungen, doch unser Aufenthalt war eine Katastrophe. Schon beim Betreten der Wohnung wurden wir von Schmutz empfangen. Das Geschirr war verschimmelt, sodass wir alles vor der Nutzung abwaschen mussten. Die untere Terrasse war unbrauchbar, da sie vollständig mit Spinnennetzen bedeckt war, und die Sitzlounge hatte keine Polster.
Nachts wurde es kalt, aber es gab nicht in jedem Zimmer eine Heizung. Der wahre Schock kam jedoch nach der ersten Nacht: Wir entdeckten eine Schlange im Badezimmer. Obwohl wir sie nach draußen manövrieren konnten, fanden wir kurze Zeit später eine weitere, aggressive Schlange in der Nähe des Bettes. Dies war besonders alarmierend, da wir mit Kindern reisten und ihre Sicherheit absolut nicht mehr gewährleistet war.
Trotz sofortiger Kontaktaufnahme mit Fares Li gab es keine zufriedenstellende Lösung. Er bot uns lediglich an, die Unterkunft eine Nacht früher zu verlassen und versprach eine Rückerstattung. Schockierenderweise stellte sich später heraus, dass er dies nicht einhielt und uns das Geld verweigert.
Zuletzt teilte er uns noch mit, dass er wahrscheinlich nichts gegen die Schlangen unternehmen werde, da das Haus in der Natur liege. Die Kombination aus mangelnder Hygiene und Gefährdung durch Tiere macht diese Unterkunft absolut inakzeptabel. Ich rate dringend davon ab, hier zu buchen.
