Besazio
Besazio is a small hamlet of Mendrisio, nestled on Monte San Giorgio – a UNESCO World Heritage Site – in the southernmost part of Switzerland. Here, the climate is mild and sunny, and the landscape alternates between gentle hills, forests, and vineyards, with glimpses opening toward the lakes and surrounding mountains.
The region offers more than scenic beauty: it is an ideal place for those who love the outdoors, with hiking trails, cycling routes, and, a little further away, water sports on Lakes Ceresio and Maggiore.
Life and Culture in the Mendrisiotto
The region offers far more than natural beauty. Among the vineyards and forests, you’ll find luxury shops and factory outlets, gourmet restaurants, and the typical Ticino grotti – rustic eateries often hidden in the woods or along the lakeshore, where traditional cuisine is enjoyed outdoors on granite benches and tables.
The Mendrisiotto is also rich in culture, with museums, festivals, concerts, and events enlivening the area throughout the year, always offering new opportunities for discovery and connection.
International Schools and Education
Ticino offers numerous international-level educational opportunities. In Mendrisio, you’ll find the Academy of Architecture, part of the Università della Svizzera Italiana (USI), while in Lugano, USI also offers programs in economics, languages and communication, computer science, medicine, philosophy, theology, and more.
Lugano is also home to TASIS – The American School in Switzerland and Franklin University Switzerland, both with a strong international focus, making the region ideal for families from around the world.
