Porlezza Holiday Apartments - Porlezza - Lake Lugano

Porlezza Holiday Apartments

Steps away from the water banks, at the heart of the old town's center of Porlezza, is Residence Rezia 9. We offer four beautiful apartments at the same house, at different sizes suitable for 2-6 people. All apartments are "monolocale" (open space), equipped with a kitchen, spacious bathroom, winter heating, air conditioner and satellite TV.

The apartments were passionately renovated by an artist inside an ancient house from the 15th century.

Some of the apartments enjoy marvelous views of Lake Lugano.

Porlezza Area

Porlezza - with its picturesque houses, red tiled roofs and its old church tower is situated in the lakes area at the north of Italy – by the pristine Italian Alps and on the banks of Lake Lugano. The town is tranquil, yet bustling with livelihood. Around the old city center are many cafes and restaurants, and along its streets are little appetizing delicatessens, bakeries and charming little shops. A lively market takes place in the streets every Saturday and in the summer there is a weekly fair of antiques and handcrafts.

The town's unspoiled surrounding area is rich with outdoor activities (available in both of Italy and Switzerland). Travelers can enjoy going trekking, excursions with mountain biking on the surrounding mountains, horse back riding, golfing (in Menaggio) or simply walk peacefully amidst the picturesque old towns, scattered in between the mountains.

In Switzerland, we highly recommend visiting the beautiful elegant city of Lugano, to stroll along the lovely wide boulevard along the lake, the grand marina, the museums, the fashionable posh boutiques, fancy cafés, gourmet restaurants, and even visit the marvelous casino. Attractions are widely available for children and adults alike.

Lombardy Region

Porlezza is one of the pearls of the Lombardy region. Situated on the banks of the Italian side of Lugano Lake, at the heart of the beautiful Valsolda Valley, it is a charming small place in a marvelous setting.

Living in Porlezza allows you to enjoy both Italy and Switzerland at the same time. From spring throughout the autumn the surrounding mountains are green and flowers blossom all around. Hikers & cyclist are welcome to explore the flora & fauna and admire the views. Churches are scattered all over the surrounding mountains, and sun bathing is available within walking distance. In the summer you can enjoy the warm days, as well as the cool breezes during evening times (our apartments are all air-conditioned).

The town is surrounded by a beautiful boardwalk, with a playground for children in its center. Along the promenade, one can bathe in the clear waters, fish, rest, or drink a coffee in one of the cafés along the waterfront. The lake's shining waters are very inviting and some enjoy renting a boat and sailing to take pleasure in the unique view of the tall Alpine mountains surrounding from all directions, the picturesque medieval towns scattered around with their chapel bell towers.

Lake Como is a short traveling distance (only 12km), and tourists can enjoy tour around the ancient towns to absorb the medieval charm.
