1. Buy property on Lake Maggiore and experience the dolce vita in Switzerland

Enjoy life in one of the most beautiful areas of Switzerland in picturesque villages with lots of art and culture, luxurious properties and a first-class lifestyle, such as in Ascona or Locarno. If you prefer more privacy and tranquillity, the idyllic properties in Gambarogno in picturesque hillside locations on the eastern shore of Lake Maggiore are a recommendation from our estate agents. The region on Lake Maggiore in Ticino is one of the most popular holiday regions of Switzerland. If you buy a property on the Swiss side of Lake Maggiore, you can enjoy many events, art and culture or numerous excursions in the surrounding area. Discover some of the sights such as:

  • Madonna del Sasso, pilgrimage church on a rocky outcrop above Locarno.

  • Monte Verità, a hill steeped in history for the culture of Ascona

  • Brissago Islands in Lake Maggiore with botanical garden and historic buildings.

  • Magadino Plain, impressive nature reserve at the mouth of the River Ticino into Lake Maggiore

  • Cappella Santa Maria degli Angeli on Monte Tamaro at 1,530 metres above sea level with impressive architecture and fabulous views of the valleys and mountain landscape

  • Verzasca Valley with waterfalls, steep slopes and wild, beautiful nature to the north of Lake Maggiore

Although the unique properties on Lake Maggiore are located in Switzerland, they are in close proximity to Italy. From your property in Ticino, you can therefore make convenient use of the infrastructure and cultural offerings of the southern lake, which is only a few kilometres away. On the Italian side of Lake Maggiore, for example, you can look forward to the following sights:

  • Sacro Monte di Ghiffa pilgrimage site, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

  • Castelli di Cannero, a former fortress on two islands of the Cannero Riviera in the municipality of Cannobio.

  • Verbania and the offshore Borromean Islands with their palazzi and churches.
