About Caslano
Caslano sits at 272 metres on the right bank of the Magliasina river where it meets Lake Lugano, close to the Italian border. About 4,300 people live here, mostly Italian speakers, and the whole village is in the Inventory of Swiss Heritage Sites. Fishing and mining once drove the economy. The public lido, open from May to September, has a small beach, a springboard, a raft, beach volleyball and stand-up paddleboards, and bathing stops at 8 pm. In summer a boat between Lugano and Ponte Tresa calls at the village landing stage. Our homes sit in one cluster, mostly sleeping about four, and the railway station is around 1 km from the village centre.

Near Caslano
Lugano
About 22 minutes by train on the Lugano to Ponte Tresa line, with departures every 30 minutes or better.
Ponte Tresa
The far end of the railway line and of the summer lake boat route from Lugano.
Lido pubblico Caslano
The village lido, which opened in 1950 and is listed as suitable for families.
Getting to Caslano
Milan Malpensa works well for UK flights, about 58 minutes away by car. By train, Trenord runs hourly from Malpensa to Lugano, and the Lugano line then reaches Caslano in about 22 minutes. The station is around 1 km from the village, so a car is useful but not essential.
When to go to Caslano
The lido is open from May to September and the Lugano to Ponte Tresa boat service runs in summer, so lake days belong to that window. Outside it the railway still runs, with trains every 15 minutes on weekday daytimes and every half hour otherwise, so Lugano stays within reach.
