Reka holiday colony Magadino

About the location

Your holiday accommodation in Magadino

Magadino is located near the well-known town of Locarno, in the canton of Ticino. Magadino and the other villages along the left bank of the lake, in the Gambarogno, have largely preserved their Ticinese identity. To the south, the terrain climbs steeply towards the Monte Tamaro range and offers a beautiful view out across the whole Locarnese area.

Between the estuary of the Verzasca river and Magadino, the Bolle di Magadino is a landscape of recognized natural value. From the Gambarogno shore villages, scheduled boats run to Locarno, Ascona, the famous Brissago islands and more excursion destinations on the Lago Maggiore. The triumvirate of Ticinese towns Lugano, Locarno and Bellinzona is as easily and quickly accessible from Gambarogno as the nearby Italian market town of Luino.

About the region

Hikers, cyclists, bike racing buffs, golfers, yachtswomen, gourmets, racing drivers, nature enthusiasts and culture lovers … Ticino brings a smile to everybody’s face! Favourite destinations in the Sopraceneri region are the southern foothills of the Alps, the medieval castles in Bellinzona, Locarno with the international film festival, the markets in neighbouring Italy and the romantic Maggia and Verzasca valleys. The Sottoceneri region around fashionable Lugano offers lakes and mountains, culture, first-class musical events, culinary highlights as well as great shopping opportunities. The southern part of the canton is particularly interesting for anyone looking for the perfect combination of urbanity and nature. 

Ticino attracts visitors with its southern charm and sub-tropical vegetation unique to these parts.  In Switzerland’s “sun lounge” you’ll enjoy the particularly mild climate from spring right through until late autumn.
