Minusio “The Golden Balcony Over Lake Maggiore”

Minusio is regarded as one of the most exclusive residential areas on Lake Maggiore, a place where Mediterranean charm, Ticinese tranquillity and Swiss quality coexist in rare harmony.

Situated between Locarno and Muralto, Minusio enjoys a privileged south-facing hillside location, basking in sunlight throughout the day and offering breathtaking views over the lake and surrounding mountains.
Its residential areas are elegant, peaceful and framed by lush vegetation: palms, olive trees and cypresses define the distinctive landscape.

The municipality offers first-class infrastructure – schools, restaurants, boutiques, banks and medical facilities are all close by.
The lakeside promenade of Minusio is among the most beautiful in Ticino, perfect for walking, jogging or simply watching the sun set over Lake Maggiore.

Whether it’s the Locarno Film Festival, the Ascona Golf Club or sailing on the lake, everything is just minutes away.
