My favourite Airbnb: an alpine hamlet poised between lake and sky
"The second largest of Italy's lakes, Maggiore unfurls like a wobbly dolphin across Piedmont, Lombardy and, at its northernmost edge, Switzerland's Canton of Ticino. I came across it on a search for disconnection: a mountain bolthole where I could slow my mind and recalibrate before the New Year, in the company of my best friend and the great outdoors."
"From there, a short drive through the lanes of Piazzogna brought us to the cabins, built entirely from wood and glass, and peppered up the sloping hillside. Set on land shaped by tectonic collisions and inspired by the connection between man and nature, each tiny home at Habitat has been positioned on a plot of high geological energy and named after one of the body's chakras, inviting guests to tune into something deeper during their stay."
Lake Maggiore, Italy's second-largest lake, stretches across Piedmont, Lombardy and into Switzerland's Canton of Ticino. The lake presents a quieter, distinct character compared with nearby more famous lakes. Habitat is a small hamlet of six newly built tiny homes sited on the slopes of Monte Gambarogno, constructed from wood and glass. Each home occupies a plot described as having high geological energy and is named after a chakra to encourage emotional and sensory tuning. Tiny Home #4, The Sound, corresponds to the heart chakra and is intended to unlock love, compassion and connection. The location prioritizes panoramic lake views and outdoor experience over conventional indoor entertainment.
