Stays for families in Lugano
With its perfect location next to a lake having the Alps in the background, the fortunate city of Lugano brings together a little of everything. Ascend to the top of Mount San Salvatore or Mount Bre by cable car to enjoy panoramic views of the lake, rivers, mountains and red roofs bathed in sunlight.
You will live with a Swiss family with full board.
The host families are established in the Italian French and German part of Switzerland, mainly middle class families. They can be young or old, married or single-parent families, with or without children. They may have pets and live very familiar lifestyles.
They usually accommodate only one student, but on justifiable special occasions, you can share family with another student. Sharing your stay will make your experience more enriching.
We will be responsible for the management, but not for the cost of the ticket.
