What lies in the surrounding area: the magic between
Switzerland and Italy.
Living in Porlezza allows you to enjoy both Italy and Switzerland at the same
time. The town’s unspoiled surrounding area is rich with outdoor activities
(available in both countries). Travelers can enjoy trekking, excursions with
mountain biking on the surrounding mountains, horseback riding, golfing or
simply walk peacefully amidst the picturesque old towns, scattered between the
mountains. Lake Como is a short traveling distance (only 12 kms), and tourists
can enjoy a tour, either sailing or by car, around the ancient towns to absorb
the medieval charm.
In Switzerland, we highly recommend visiting the beautiful elegant city of
Lugano (situated only 15 kms from Porlezza) to stroll along the lovely wide
boulevard along the lake, the grand marina, the museums, the fashionable posh
boutiques, fancy cafes, gourmet restaurants and even visit the marvelous
casino. Lugano’s squares are bustling with liveliness, colorful and vibrant
stalls, street performances, art and history. Another worldwide known
attraction in Lugano is the famous “Swiss Miniature Village” – A unique park
with miniature models of Switzerland’s sights and attractions – A unique
experience for children and adults alike.
