La Residenza service apartments in Lugano - Ticino (CH)

La Residenza: almost like having your very own rental home in Ticino.

As the local folk would have it, life in the Ticino region is marvellous: "A small Region, in a big world," is their motto.

Certainly, being able to rent a home in Ticino is a desire held by many, but sometimes, rental costs for an apartment mean that this remains a dream. One easy, handy and convenient solution is to rent an apartment, almost a small house, at La Residenza and at cost-effective rates.

It is a good way to understand whether living in the Ticino region is right for you and also to get to know the area without being committed to the cost of renting a house. La Residenza in Lugano is the perfect way to discover the Ticino area because it is located in the lovely setting of the Castagnola residential area, one of the most well-to-do districts of the city of Lugano; it is a very short walk from the lake and it also has all of the amenities, privacy and security needed for you to live undisturbed, such as a daily concierge service and 24-hour assistance for emergencies and urgent problems.

The lovely rooms, some with kitchenette and others with views over the lake, are available for rent for periods from 3 months onwards and in some cases, for shorter amounts of time.

Being able to use a rented home for a few months is the best way to understand if the Ticino area is right for you, but renting an apartment or a house for a short time is impossible; no one will rent a house for just three months. At La Residenza you can rent a mini apartment, not so different from a small home, for a brief period of time while you get properly organised for a future life in Lugano or in any case, in Ticino.

To understand how nice it is to be able to enjoy your own rental home in the Ticino area, just remember the popular saying that goes: "the stars at night crowd together in the heavens for a place from which to admire Ticino". It is the southernmost canton in Switzerland, a place where the weather is always mild; summer comes early and leaves late and this can also be considered an excellent reason to rent a mini-home at La Residenza in Lugano.
