Gandria
Gandria, the romantic fisching village overlooking the lake of Lugano
Gandria is one of the most fascinating destinations for both locals and tourists: an ancient village reachable by land, lake and also thanks to a panoramic walk from Lugano
The Tresa Bay Hotel is easily accessible by public transport from where you can discover fascinating and interesting places. One of these is surely the old fishing village of Gandria, whose centre is characterized by small streets and stairways with enchanting corners and views of the lake and Mount Bré.
The train in front of the hotel connects Ponte Tresa to Lugano, with a short ride of 30 minutes. From Lugano there are frequent boat trips to Gandria, or you can rent a speedboat, enjoy the spectacle of the city and the mountains from the water and then stop in a grotto, to taste the typical Ticino products. Gandria and opposite, on the other side of the lake, the village of Caprino and the Cellars of Gandria are renowned for their grotto.
Another way to reach Gandria is by foot along the "Gandria Trail", also known as the olive path, always reachable by boat or bus from the station. It is a magnificent walk along the lake, full of typical Mediterranean vegetation and that arrives directly in the village of Gandria in an hour and a half of walking. The return can be arranged by boat.
Don't forget that the Ticino Ticket offers free travel on all public transport.
Whether for a holiday or a short break, the Tresa Bay is the right hotel for you to enjoy the lake and its surroundings at 360 ° and ... at unbeatable prices.
