Porto Ceresio was mentioned in writing as a former fishing village as early as the 13th century. Later Italian parishes and administrative districts built various church and sacred buildings here. Over the centuries, artists, sculptors and painters have made Porto Ceresio famous beyond the borders of Italy as the place of origin for internationally recognized crafts and art.
As the southernmost town on Lake Lugano, Porto Ceresio, like the entire region around Lake Lugano, benefits from the mild climate influenced by the Mediterranean. This ensures the lush, deep green vegetation of the landscape and water temperatures of 24 degrees C ° and 28 degrees C ° air temperature in summer. Although Porto Ceresio is still far from the structures of mass tourism, more and more connoisseurs and tourists appreciate the unique beauty of this region.

Lake Lugano

Highlight • Lake

The lake is divided between the Italian and Swiss borders and takes its name from the Swiss city of the same name. It is very beautiful as are its streets. It goes without saying that during the high summer season the roads are very busy, a real pleasure when there is less traffic. High visibility always recommended!
