Como to Lugano: a Swiss luxury day on the lake

Lunch on Lake Lugano, an afternoon at Via Nassa, and back to a Como villa for dinner.

Lake Lugano sits forty-five minutes from Cernobbio by car, across the Swiss border at Chiasso. The lakeside town of Lugano combines a refined old centre, the boutique-lined Via Nassa, the Swiss private banking establishments and, increasingly, some of the most interesting watch retailers in southern Switzerland.

AYR Concierge arranges Lugano days as a continuous chauffeur retainer from a Como villa or hotel. The vehicle is cleared for cross-border travel. Lunch is typically booked at Villa Principe Leopoldo or one of the lakeside hotels; the afternoon is shopping or a private banking appointment; the return to Como is timed for an early-evening aperitivo.

The same itinerary works from Milan, with a slightly earlier start and the option to combine with FoxTown Mendrisio on the way back.
