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.

The municipality offers first-class infrastructure – schools, restaurants, boutiques, banks and medical facilities are all close by.
