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. And those who enjoy cycling will benefit from the comprehensive infrastructure of the resort, which is certified as a Swiss Bike Hotel.
Everything you need for an enjoyable holiday is here - we look forward to welcoming you and your family; you can even bring your dog.

Schöne, gepflegte Anlage.
Ruhige Ferien an gut eingerichtetem Ort
Das Rekadorf in Magadino ist schön und sinnvoll eingerichtet, ist sehr familienfreundlich und auch der Empfang war sehr zuvorkommend. Im Appartment war alles sauber und gut eingerichtet. Die Anlagen (Spielplätze, Einstellplatz, etc.) waren praktisch, sicher und sinnvoll. Einzig der ÖV-Anschluss lässt zu wünschen übrig, v.a. an Sonntagen. Preislich ist ein Appartment für nur 2 Erwachsene mit einem Baby mässig erschwinglich; lohnt sich wohl eher mehr mit mehr Kindern.

Nice location with great appartment
Nice view on the lake! Unfortunately, the REKA-WiFi did not work well for us. There are not so many busses available. In the village is a nice Grotto and small shop and also kiosk at the REKA reception. Would be useful to provide more details on the small shops around Orgnana and Magadino, which are not visible on internet. Unfortunately, the weather was not so good during our stay (therefore we went often to Locarno, Lugano), but otherwise would be great for hiking and other outdoor activities!

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

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.
