About this house rental

The Secret Garden is the perfect place to immerse yourself in the timeless tranquility of an ancient Ticinese village. This historic property is situated in the heart of the charming streets of Brè, a picturesque hamlet surrounded by nature, just minutes away from the breathtaking views of Lake Lugano and its vibrant city.

As you walk through the characteristic cobblestone paths, you'll be welcomed into a bright living room furnished with a comfortable three-seater sofa, a coffee table, a dining table for four, and a cabinet with a flat-screen TV. The true highlights of this space are the large stone fireplace and the traditional decorative flooring, which lend the room a captivating historical and rustic character.

The kitchen, adjacent to the living room and equipped with essential appliances and kitchen utensils, combines the charm of the era with modern comfort.

On the upper floor, the house offers three spacious bedrooms with wooden floors—two with double beds and one with a single bed—all featuring wardrobes or coat racks for storing clothes and personal belongings. The large bathroom, with its classic touches, is complete with a bidet and a bathtub.

From the sleeping area, guests can access the lovely private garden, which includes a table for outdoor dining and comfortable loungers to enjoy the wonderful mild climate of Ticino.

A set of towels is provided for each guest in the living room, along with bed linens, blankets, and a welcome kit. We also leave a basket with essentials for breakfast.
