Looking to soak up a luxury lake view 2 bed in an authentic setting close to Lugano city? The search is over, with this gorgeous Gandria retreat!

Nestled amongst the idyllic charms of this picturesque lake village, this slick and contemporary retreat for 4 offers effortless lake view living, just 12 minutes’ drive from Lugano.

On the doorstep of the beautiful ‘Olive Trail’, with a host of delectable Italian restaurants and a scenic ferry service to hand, the authentic setting of this beautiful home allows you take in the tranquillity and beauty of the Lake at any time of year.

Fully-modernised throughout, the 3rd floor holiday apartment is fully-equipped for 21st century living. Benefitting too from a private portico terrace with romantic lake views, the carefree setting and stylish interior create an inviting and flawless ambience for holiday entertaining.

Gandria also offers close proximity to the golf and tennis facilities of both Lugano (12 minutes’ drive) and Menaggio (34 minutes’ drive), as well as a treasure trove of hiking routes (Monte Bre is just 16 minutes’ drive) and water sport activities (Porlezza is 14 minutes’ drive away).

A host of local visitor highlights also await, with Villa Fogazzaro 6 minutes’ drive away and Lugano close by for cosmopolitan day trips and fun nights out (12 minutes’ drive/ taxi ride away).

Response from the manager Dear Delmar, Thank you very much for taking the time to write your review and we are so pleased you all had a super time in Magic Gandria. It is always great when there is sunny warm weather, but yes if it does get too hot, we are happy to provide our guests with electric fans upon request. When you stay in a mountain/lake region, there are of course mosquitos and insects, but this cannot be helped and not a fault of the property or us. I would just recommend to have insect repellent. We hope you have taken home some very happy memories of the area and we hope you will return in the future! :)
