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 bathtub and hand 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. One portable air-conditioning unit.

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 a short ride on bus 532, 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. The road between the house and the lake carries commuter traffic during the day. When you drive out of the parking area, the view onto the road is limited; please have a second person guide the driver. Come for a peaceful getaway with space for everyone.
