Newly-built holiday paradise in a top location with lake view and panoramic pool
Via Albonago 61 , 6962 Viganello, Switzerland 
                    The facility
Your holiday paradise in the sunniest corner of Switzerland!
Clean, deep blue, crystal-clear lakes, green wooded hills and a mild climate ... in Lugano-Albonago, on the sunny slope half way up the Monte Brè, you can gaze out over the town and Lake Lugano towards the Malcantone region. Hiking, biking with the possibility of the most beautiful excursions just a stone’s throw away? Or long, peaceful days at the panoramic pool? And in the evening, a glass of Merlot with an exquisite meal under the pergola? That’s what holidays in Ticino are all about! For you, we have totally re-built this Reka classic – spacious, drenched in natural light, and with a modern design. 49 flats with balconies or terrasses and 2 hotel rooms await you.
7 residential buildings and a main building with reception, restaurant, Rekalino children’s paradise and children's playroom as well as a two-level covered car park. At this spacious facility you’ll find everything you need to complete your flat and contribute to successful holidays. For example, the self-service, grotto style «Osteria» restaurant for your breakfast and evening meal with indoor and outdoor seating under the pergola. Here you can choose pizza, pasta and all the wonderful Ticino cuisine’s specials. Or freshly-prepared takeaway offers, a cool drink, a gelato or a light snack from the kiosk selection. You can simply add your breakfast or half-board as extras together with your accommodation booking. Enjoy your time in the «Piscina Panoramica», the extensive Infinity Pool with an unlimited view over the lake. Or relax at the wellness facility in the Finnish sauna, steam bath and quiet room – the highlight you can book exclusively as your «Private Spa» for 1.5 hours (at a fee). You can book massages and yoga lessons on site.
Discover our new «Paradiso Ticinese». Book your holiday accommodation today! We wish you a warm welcome.
Location
The village square forms the centre which serves – in a typically Mediterranean way – as a meeting place for young and old and a large playground for children. A little stream flows through the facility and invites you to linger, have a picnic or enjoy a barbecue in the open air. The Holiday Village is directly linked up with local public transport by the bus-stop right in front of the entrance. 
Sustainability and Accessibility for the disabled
CO2 neutral, climate protection, care with resources, regional focus and accessibility for people with disabilities are of much concern to us. The new construction was conceived and built according the SIA Energy Efficiency Pathway and respects the highest modern ecological standards, including a strict environmental concept for waste, water, noise, air and soil. Our newest Holiday Village is set to be a place for everyone, without exception. 20 barrier-free flats and outdoor areas are ready and the whole pool area (with mobile swimming pool lift for people with disabilities) is also totally accessible. 
Bathing
An outdoor pool and 2 children’s paddling pools with a slide, loungers and parasols (open between March and October - depending on the weather).
Everything is here for the family!
Daily fresh bread service (for a fee), guest laundry (for a fee), playground with water slide, swings, sandpit, water games, grill area, incl. attractive Rekalino holiday programme on week days (per hour) – child care.
Leisure/sport

Swimming lessons for children
In the course, children are taught in groups of a similar ability level. Our highly qualified instructors accompany children from the age of 4 as they learn the basics of swimming and gradually introduce them to the techniques of crawl, back crawl and breaststroke. The courses take place during the summer holidays.

Your Ticino Ticket: experience more at a favourable price
Take the mountain railway to the summit, a tour on the lake, a visit to the falconry, many museums, a day of swimming in the Lido, the whole of Switzerland on a scale of 1:25 in the Swissminiatur ... all this and more is available at a discount as a Reka guest, and public transport is even free.

Even more profit in Lugano-Albonago!
We will issue you with the Holiday Card free of charge for even more discounts, e.g. 30% at Swissminiatur or 20% at the spectacular Splash e Spa Tamaro water world. So it's even more fun ...

Mermaiding
The desire to swim like a mermaid is not just for children. Swimming with a mermaid fin is fun for young and old and at the same time a serious sport. Our aim is to train safe, happy mermaids who feel comfortable in the water. Aquamaris trains mermaids and mermen of all ages and sizes. Course date: 01-05 July 2024.

Monte Brè
It's worth making the trip here just for the views of the city and Lake Lugano. Funicular railways run in two sections from the edge of Lugano to Monte Brè, the scenic mountain above the lake basin and the vibrant city. Descents down to Lugano or the lake, always via the Brè village, are in part pretty steep, as are the nature and archaeological trail to Gandria.

Swiss customs museum
The Swiss Customs Museum is to be found in an old border guard post, directly on the banks of the lake only a few metres away from the Swiss-Italian border. A visit to the museum may be ideally combined with a walk through the picturesque surroundings or a meal in one of the nearby caves where you can enjoy the best Ticino fare. There are also picnic areas alongside the museum.

Lido di Lugano
Like the old bathing huts, it was originally built in homely wood: The "Lido di Lugano" bathing establishment on the shores of Lake Lugano. The large bathing complex was later supplemented by a modern outdoor pool with an Olympic pool and 10-metre diving platform. Today, the baths have two parts: a sporty, lively swimming pool and a cosy lido that is more geared towards relaxation and leisure. The beautifully renovated lido has also succeeded in largely preserving the charm of the old Lido.

Splash & Spa Tamaro
Covering over 10,000 square metres, the "Splash e Spa Tamaro" offers a galactic selection of adventures and sensory pleasures all year round. Under the main dome, the fun dome and the spa and wellness dome, the name says it all. And in the outdoor area, 85 attractions await guests - as well as an enchanting view of the Monte Tamaro adventure mountain. Reka-Pay acceptance point.

Super Unterkunft!
Ein kleiner Verbesserungsvorschlag: Es wäre gut, wenn der Sportplatz auch ohne Schlüssel oder mit dem Zimmer Schlüssel zu betreten wäre. Möchte man ausserhalb der kurzen Rezeption öffnungszeiten auf den Sportplatz ist dss leider nicht möglich, da man den Schlüssel nicht holen kann. Oder die Rezeption müsste durchgehend besetzt sein. Ansonsten war alles tip top !

Feriendorf mit Potenzial im Nebensaison
Toll
Nicht gut war, dass unsere Wohnung, dienlich im Juli gebucht habe. 3 Tage vor Anreise offenbar schon vorher gebucht war! Wir wollten ausdrücklich zwei Wohnungen nebeneinander und barrierefrei. Die Seesicht habe ich sehr vermisst in der neu zugewiesenen Wohnung.

Très bien mais trop cher pour la classe moyenne
Les prestations du village Reka de Lugano sont très bonnes. Par contre les prix sont bien trop élevés pour que nous puissions imaginer refaire un séjour dans un village Reka. Pour 4 nuits avec petit déjeuner, nous avons payé (avec taxes de séjour) près de 1'600.-. Ce budget est très élevé pour une famille de la classe moyenne (qui ne peut pas bénéficier des semaines à 200.-) Enfin, le rekalino propose une offre assez limitée. Le mecredi, les parents devaient rester avec les enfants, ce qui ne correspond donc pas à une garde d'enfants. De plus, notre fils de 2 ans n'a pas pu participer à toutes les activités du rekalino, ce qui est dommage (le jeudi le rekalino était réservé aux enfant de plus de 4 ans, ou alors il fallait rester avec l'enfant de 2 ans).

Sind die Kinder glücklich, bin ich es auch!
Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Folgendes würde ich mir noch wünschen: - Das Rührei war an 4 von 5 morgen zu milchig. Dort muss die Zubereitung nochmals verbessert werden. - Ich war mit einem Kind 5 und einem Kind 8 Jahre alt dort. Es wäre toll, wenn es für beide Kinder gleichzeitig Angebote geben würde. - Angebote im Rekalino so ab 16 Uhr wären auch noch toll - bis zum Nachtessen. Dann kommt man von einem Ausflug zurück und es wäre toll dann einen Moment alleine zu haben als Eltern. Sie machen alle einen unglaublich guten Job!! Weiter so, wir kommen wieder!

Vacances avec nos enfants et petits-enfants
A l'unanimité, nous avons apprécié la qualité et le confort du duplex que nous avons loué ainsi que l'ensemble des prestations fournies qui conviennent parfaitement à une famille de 7 personnes. L'armoire bébé, la poussette, sans oublier la proximité avec les transports publics. La propreté est exemplaire et la qualité des matériaux de belle facture. Cela encourage chacun à respecter les prescriptions d'hygiène et de soin de l'ensemble de l'environnement. Bravo !

About the location
Lugano-Albonago nestles in a bay on Lake Lugano, in the sunniest corner of Switzerland. The largest town in the Ticinese holiday region lives with a Mediterranean flair! Lugano is characterized by breath-taking views of the mountains, the pedestrianized old town and the vicinity of mountains and lakes.
Lugano-Albonago is the perfect departure point to discover the surrounding area by public transport or using the extensive network of hiking and biking trails. You can reach the town or the lido on foot in just a few minutes or by bus from the stop just in front of the facility. A very varied cultural programme offers numerous museums and events all year round. Longer excursions further afield from Lugano are worthwhile. For example, to the lively cities or the spectacular, craggy valleys of Northern Italy, touring through the idyllic villages and typical vineyards of the Sopra- and Sottoceneri or exploring the UNESCO World Heritage sites in Bellinzona, Meride or Mendrisio.
	
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.
