Further details
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 & cyclers 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.

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 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.

Guest comments
'Polezza was fantastic and we enjoyed every minute of our holiday in your apartment. Barbara was a lovely lady and met all our needs. The apartment was beautifully appointed with all that we required. The central location made us feel quite a part of the historic region and we enjoyed purchasing our produce from the local stores'.

'As you know we discovered Porlezza and your apartment over the internet. My family and I have travelled extensively and Porlezza would feature high on the most beautiful areas we have been. We would love to return there someday to explore the region further. The location was brilliant for a day trip to Lugano, Switzerland, where we went on a magic lake cruise' - Regards, Sharon
