Good to know - The home is part of a historic private courtyard: on weekdays, during office hours, some of our staff work in the building opposite. Evenings and weekends, the courtyard is all yours. - The house has no air conditioning (heritage protection rules for the historic village core); fans are provided for the summer heat. - Parking inside the courtyard is not possible: the access is very narrow. Before your arrival we arrange a digital parking permit for the authorised zones in the village (CHF 10 per day), a few minutes' walk from the house. The area Ligornetto, a district of Mendrisio at the foot of Monte San Giorgio (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), is a village set among vineyards, where life moves at the slow, authentic pace of Italian-speaking Switzerland. The historic core keeps its charm, with patrician houses and period courtyards; it was the birthplace of sculptor Vincenzo Vela, whose house-studio is now a federally owned museum. All around, a land that invites you to slow down: vineyards and traditional "grotti" where you can savour local specialities paired with the Mendrisiotto's Merlot, and trails and walks that begin almost at the doorstep, among vines, woods and views of Monte San Giorgio. Lake Lugano, the Breggia Gorge and the FoxTown outlet in Mendrisio are just minutes away; Lugano, Como and the lakes are close by, and Milan about an hour away. Authentic Switzerland — nature, art, fine food and quiet. Guest access Parking — The access to the courtyard is very narrow, so parking inside the courtyard is not possible (unless agreed with the owner). Not to worry, we take care of it: before your arrival we arrange a temporary parking permit (CHF 10 per day) linked to your car's number plate. Just send us your plate number and country of registration a few days ahead. You can then park freely in the authorised zones in Ligornetto, all just a few minutes' walk from the house. The permit is digital — there's no ticket to display. Other things to note The property is handed over in excellent condition and must be returned in the same state. The final cleaning is included; any extra cleaning required due to improper use will be charged separately. Maximum 4 guests; unregistered overnight visitors are not allowed. Guests agree to observe quiet hours from 10:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m., not to hold parties with outside guests, and to supervise children at all times, especially near water. Not allowed: smoking indoors, using the pool or whirlpool bathtub while intoxicated, and glass by the pool. Parking inside the courtyard is not possible; we arrange a digital parking permit for the village parking zones (CHF 10 per day, a few minutes' walk). Dogs are very welcome with prior written confirmation when booking. Please keep them out of the pool and do not wash them in the bathrooms; please pick up after them straight away.
