Our neighborhood

The local village, Roveredo, is a small hamlet with an attractive and tranquil collection of mostly historic houses but with few local facilities. There are many attractive walks in the hills behind the house. 3 kilometres down the hill is Tesserete, a small town with supermarkets and other shops, swimming and sports centre, doctor, dentist, bars, restaurants etc. 15 - 20 minutes away by car is the beautiful lakeside city of Lugano with a wide range of attractions. Also being just 15 minutes from the north south motorway, you can easily reach Italy or other parts of Switzerland. Within an hour or two's drive you can be in Milan or Lucerne or many other attractive destinations in the north Italian lake district or the Swiss Alps. There is a local bus service but you need a car to really enjoy what's on offer. These include, walking, climbing, skiing, golf and you can even reach the seaside on the Ligurian coast for a day out.

Something about ourselves

I am a retired IT executive originally from UK and my wife, Tulay, is originally from Turkey and one daughter lives with her family in nearby Chiasso, the other in Germany. We are open minded about where we go for an exchange. Golf, tennis, walking are attractions in addition to the usual sight seeing, beach life and generally enjoying the local scene, as we are both quite sociable animals.
