Two years ago, I discovered this beautiful, relatively undiscovered gem in Italy near Lake Lugano, called Porlezza. Nestled amidst mountains on the lakeshore, Porlezza offers a myriad of opportunities for outdoor activities. Whether it's hiking, water sports, or simply basking in the beauty of the sunset over the lake, there's something for everyone. During my visit, I stumbled upon three mobile homes located on a camping site right by the lake. Despite not being overly crowded, the site provided all the amenities one would expect from a camping ground, catering to both adults and children alike. From a playground and swimming pool to a kids' disco, restaurant, and bar with live entertainment, there was no shortage of things to do and enjoy. I would love for you to experience the same sense of tranquility and adventure that I felt during my first visit to Porlezza. Thank you.
