Reka holiday village Lugano-Albonago
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.

More...Experiences
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.

REKA is good Ticino needs to improve
Using the public transport in Lugano was not always easy. It would have been helpful if REKA gave the exact bus stop name on the website and noted that only one bus per hour runs on Sundays! Ticino could have an APP like the BVB app in Basel to get realtime schedule and connections: the bus stops to make connections are not aligned (ie. not visible from one to the other) and the bus line to Albonago is confusing as only every other goes up to Albonago. Otherwise we loved our room and the wellness was superb as well as the Grill and Piazza evening

Ferien vom Feinsten
Das REKA Feriendorf ist sehr schön angelegt, die Lage ist phänomenal. Die Mitarbeiter sind zuvorkommend und freundlich. Sie beraten gerne, man findet für alles eine Lösung. In der Wohnung ist alles vorhanden, was man braucht und der ÖV ist gleich nebenan. Die Infrastruktur mit Restaurant, Kisok, Pool und Waschküche sorgt für unvergesslich schöne Ferien. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Die eine Woche war zu kurz.

Déçus par ce complexe entièrement reconstruit il y a juste quelques années...
Les logements sont jolis et modernes, mais hélas ce village vacances présente une série de défauts qui le pérorent fortement : - emplacement peu accessible en transports publics, ou du moins avec des fortes contraintes - accès très compliqué avec les bagages - lits beaucoup trop mous - piscine pas sécurisée - salle de jeu intérieure peu conviviale - prix élevé, et taxe exorbitante si on veut choisir son logement

Brilliant,wonderfull and memorable in all the good ways
My daughter and i loved staying in Albonago,the air up in the hill was so clean and refreshing,hotel was so wonderfully built and organized,stuff was very warm and welcoming. The people in Lugano are so friendly and kind and the place is so lovely,that we actually felt sad to have to go back to Geneva so quickly ,one week went by fast. On this occasion my daughter celebrated her 16th birthday in Lugano,and we had a great time togather as a family. We both apprecied so much this opportunity to spend time in this beautiful hotel,with wonderful apartements and great view and in a family ambience in gorgeous Lugano. I highly recommend it.

sehr schöne Familienferien
Informationen zu den Öffnungszeiten der L'osteria hatten wird nirgends und waren somit am Dienstag nach Ankunft und am Mittwoch ein wenig überrascht, dass diese zu hat. Da wir am Dienstag spät angereist sind, mussten wir uns dann anders organisieren. Der Rest war sehr gut, Rekalino hat den Kindern sehr Spass gemacht. Wir konnten den Kleinen mit knapp 2 Jahren auch scho in die Aktivitäten geben.

Tout étais parfait
Es waren sehr schöne Ferien
Der einzig negative Punkt ist, dass es keine Handtücher auf dem Zimmer gab. Das war im Vorfeld leider nirgends ersichtlich. Man konnte zwar welche mieten, was umständlich ist, wenn bei Anreise die Rezeption nicht besetzt ist. Weiss man es vorher, kann man auch eigene mitbringen. Vielleicht ist es möglich dies unter den Informationen zum Feriendorf zu hinterlegen.

Schöne Ferien im Tessin in moderner Wohnung
Wir verbrachten 4 tolle Nächte im Reka Dorf. Die Wohnungen sowie die gesamte Anlage sind neu gebaut. Die Aussicht auf Lugano ist bei Tag und Nacht ein Hingucker! Der Anschluss mit dem Bus war ebenfalls sehr gut, man kann aber auch laufen. Die Wohnung war sauber und alles tiptop. Da Neubau auch sehr gut isoliert. Das Personal war sehr freundlich! Glutenfrei Essen hat ebenfalls gut geklappt, Pizza wurde extra organisiert und separat in der Küche zubereitet. Teig war wohl von Schär und wurde dann belegt. War ok für uns, lieber so als anders ;) Grillbuffet wurde uns genau gesagt, was geht und was nicht. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Als Familie kann man im Speisesaal umbeschwert essen, auch wenns mal nicht rund läuft. Wir hatten aber kein Frühstück gebucht und keine HP. Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Der Babywagen für 3-5 monat alte Babys fehlt. Und leider der Raumspray!!! Ansonsten sehr sauber und schön eingerichtet.

Gemütliche, ruhige Familienferien
Die Wohnung war super. In der Küche dürfte es noch einen Ort geben, um das Küchentuch aufzuhängen, aber sonst alles super. Die Anlage ist im Sommer sicher grandios. Bei schlechtem Wetter gibt es eher weniger zu machen, da auch der Pool nur draussen ist. Da die fast die ganze Woche schelchtes Wetter war, ist der eine Spielplatz beim Haus Communale und das kleine Rekalino mit straker Ausrichtung auf die ganz kleinen etwas bescheiden. Wir waren einfach schon in anderen Reka Dörfer, wo das Angebot und auch die Rekalino-Club Aktivitäten etwas abwechslungsreicher waren. Wir würden daher im Herbst wahrscheinlich nicht mehr kommen.

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.
