Lugaggia suits couples and small families who want a private pool and quiet in Capriasca, the municipality bordering Lugano. It is a small former municipality, not a resort, so expect to drive for shops and restaurants.
Lugaggia is a former municipality in the Lugano district of Ticino. In 2008 it merged with Bidogno and Corticiasca to form Capriasca, which borders Lugano; in 2000 four in five of its working residents were commuters, many of them to the city. The church of Santi Pietro e Paolo stands at Sureggio, in Lugaggia. Also in Capriasca is the Monastery of Bigorio, founded in 1535 as the first Capuchin seat in Switzerland. The homes here are grouped in one spot, nearly all with a private pool, a garden and a fireplace, and sleeping around four to six. Evenings are quiet.
