Vacation Rentals in Locarno

If you're looking for the romance of the Italian language but want to visit a place that's a bit more orderly, you're looking at the Ticino, the Italian speaking canton of southern Switzerland - and a Locarno vacation rental is the perfect way to enjoy it.

The majority of the Locarno vacation rentals are chic apartments in upscale apartment buildings right in the center of town or very close to it. As this is a popular holiday destination, there seems to be no shortage of vacation apartments to choose from - in many sizes, too, so you'll be able to find the one that best suits your needs and travel style. Many of the vacation properties come with great extras, like use of shared swimming pools, private gardens, roof terraces, and saunas - and other things, such as restaurants, shops and markets, are usually not far away.

Locarno sits on the Swiss side of Lake Maggiore, so you can enjoy some Italian scenery from the other side of the lake. With a vacation rental in Locarno you'll be able to come and go as you please, enjoying the sights of the city at your leisure - because this is truly a town of leisure. Popular activities include boat trips on the lake, walks along the lake shore, and shopping. There are a couple museums and churches which may be worth visiting, too, but don't feel obligated - especially if you're enjoying the lazy pace of your trip.

You can also use a vacation rental in Locarno as a home base for exploring the region outside the city, too. Nearby Lugano is often called the Monte Carlo of Switzerland, and is another pretty lake front town (although it's a different lake). The town of Bellinzona is full of castles, which have even been added to the UNESCO list. You can even grab your passport for a day trip into Italy's lakes region.
