Porto Letizia Villa Orchidea 4

Since 2008 we have been the proud owners of an apartment in the north of Italy. We come there regularly ourselves, but we also rent out the apartment. We have furnished it in a modern way. The art photos on the walls are tailored to the interior.

Our apartment is located in the beautifully landscaped Porto Letizia park in Porlezza, directly on Lake Lugano. The villa is directly adjacent to a beautiful (play) park located between the villas and the lake. We have an unobstructed view. The apartment (approx. 50m2) is fully equipped and suitable for 4 adults, but a cot can also easily be added. There is a separate kitchen with dining area for 5 people and a separate bedroom with two beds. The luxurious sofa bed in the living room can be transformed into a spacious double bed in no time.

In addition to the perfect location, the apartment has a large sunny terrace of approximately 20 m2. A total of four double doors provide access to the terrace from the living room and the adjoining bedroom. The view is beautiful of the park and the lake. There is a modern patio set and of course a large parasol. The terrace faces south/west. The terrace is a wonderful place, from breakfast to dinner, to a quiet evening drink. On the street side, the apartment also has a shaded balcony.

The main building, the Palazzo, is within walking distance. The central reception is located in the hall of the Palazzo. You will report there upon arrival. You can pick up the key at the reception and of course you can always ask questions, tips for trips and bookings for, among other things, renting a boat, bicycles or horse riding lessons. For a small fee you can use a washing machine and a dryer. The friendly ladies at the reception are also happy to tell you about the (free) use of the bicycles and the discount options for the restaurant, or renting a boat and various excursions, etc.

The Palazzo also has several shops, a hairdresser, an excellent restaurant/pizzeria and Bar Panama with a terrace on Lake Lugano. Panama is open all day, you can also have breakfast and lunch there. It is the nicest bar in Porlezza. The locals like to come there and that gives a nice mix between the guests of Porto Letizia and the residents of Porlezza.

The site also includes a public park, a labyrinth, a children's playground and an outdoor swimming pool. The sandy beach is only 100 meters away and has a real Italian Lido with sunbeds and parasols. Renting (water) bicycles or a boat is also possible. During the summer months a band plays weekly on Thursday evenings. There is a tennis court with a cozy bar within walking distance of the park.

The nature around Porlezza is beautiful. You can enjoy fantastic walking and cycling. Porlezza itself is a pleasant village, with a walking boulevard, shops and various restaurants. Porlezza is located about 80 kilometers above Milan. With the Alps in your back and the lake on your doorstep, it is wonderful to relax in an Italian atmosphere. The fashionable city of Lugano is 12 kilometers away and Menaggio on Lake Como is also 12 kilometers away. The beautiful city of Como is approximately 45 kilometers away. The nature around Porlezza is beautiful and very suitable for walking and cycling trips.
