Opposite Castagnola and Gandria is an idyllic paradise. Caprino and the Cantine di Gandria. From here on the south bank of Lake Lugano you have a fantastic view of Lugano and can take a bath in the summer months.

Caprino is a small and charming village at the foot of Monte Caprino and on the southern shores of Lake Lugano. It can be reached on foot, by car or by boat. Much appreciated by tourists who undertake the path of the cellars of Gandria, up to the Customs Museum.
