The facility
Welcome to your holiday home in Ticino
High above Lake Maggiore lies the Reka Holiday Resort Magadino. On the edge of a chestnut wood above the village, it borders idyllically on a stream and overlooks the Magadino plain with the mouths of the Ticino and Verzasca rivers. If you are looking for peace and quiet and want to spend time with the children, you will find your little paradise here. Some of the most popular hiking routes and bike trails run nearby, and the protected wetlands of the Bolle di Magadino nature reserve are perfect for exciting excursions into nature. And in the villages of Gambarogno on the lake shore there are countless opportunities for swimming and water sports. Bellinzona with its 3 castles (UNESCO World Heritage Site) can be reached in 30 minutes by car.
In 7 holiday homes, 16 modernized apartments with panoramic views of the lake and the mountains as well as their own sun terrace with seating or garden await you.
Benvenuto! The so-called Riviera del Gambarogno is the Swiss section of the left shore of Lake Maggiore, stretching from the Italian border to Monte Ceneri.
Are you planning an active holiday? The Reka Holiday Residence Magadino is the perfect starting point for hiking, biking and swimming holidays in the family-friendly holiday region of Ticino. Or maybe you just want to relax? Games, sports and fun for the whole family can be found in the resort itself, on the doorstep of your apartment. The well-tended garden offers a pool (open from June to September, depending on the weather), outdoor shower, sun loungers and parasols, swings, slide, ping-pong and table football and a small playground. There is also billiards in the youth room, a playroom and a treasure trove of the latest Ravensburger games. A small kiosk is also at your disposal.

Sehr zufrieden mit Aufenthalt im REKA Magadino
Ruhiger und abgelegener Ferienort
Top
Wir kommen bestimmt wieder :-)
Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Das einzige negative war das das WLAN im HAus nicht funktionierte.

Super Ferienort mit Kindern die täglich 5 km laufen können und wollen
Wir hatten eine tolle Ferienwoche und obwohl die Strasse täglich gesperrt war haben wir viele Ausflüge unternommen. Die Gadtgeberin als Person verdient definitiv die Höchstnote

Schöne Unterkunft im gebirgigen Tessin
Die neu renovierte Unterkunft war erstklassig. Es hatte für alle genügend Platz. Es war erfreulich, durften wir unseren Hund, trotz Renovation, mitnehmen. Damit man irgendwo hinkommt, braucht es ein Fahrzeug.

Es ist eine tolle Ferienanlage. Schade war das Wetter zu kalt um draussen zu baden.
Tolle Ferien an ruhigen ein bisschen abgelegen Ferienort
Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, schade hat es mit der Busverbindung aufgrund der Bauarbeiten nicht geklappt. Pool dürfte wärmer sein. Ein Sandkasten wäre toll, die Eingangstüren dürfte schalldichter sein und die Fenster erneuert werden. Mückennetze wären toll, wir hatten nach dem lüften Eidechsen und Käfer in den Räumen

Kurzer aber sehr erholsamer Urlaub.
Alles prima
Toller Familienurlaub
Das Reka-Dorf liegt sehr ruhig und ist äusserst gastfreundlich. Alle Mitarbeiter sind sehr zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit! Man hat von (fast) überall im Dorf eine wunderschöne Aussicht auf den See. Die neue Pool-Anlage ist sehr hochwertig. Die Grillstelle mit der Pergola bereitet viel Freude! Die Spielplatz-Möglichkeiten sind über die ganze Anlage verteilt, was die Freizeit sehr abwechslungsreich macht. Das Einzige was für kleine Kinder allenfalls noch fehlt, wäre ein Sandkasten, ansonsten ist Alles vorhanden, was man sich an Spielmöglichkeiten wünscht! Der Kiosk ist mit einem tollen lokalen Angebot ausgestattet (inkl. Wein und Bier) und Allem, was man kurzfristig braucht. Sehr empfehlenswert - wir kommen gerne wieder!

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.
Directions
By train: Via Bellinzona direction Luino to Magadino-Vira station.
