The Do-Minus Boutique Homes Collection, in Bellinzona and Locarno in the Swiss Alps, offers an exquisite blend of nature, wellness and understated design. These exclusive retreats, masterfully ideated and crafted by Swiss architects Riccarda Guidotti and Andrea Frapolli, feature locally sourced materials and meticulously restored heritage stone structures. Each interior features curated mid- century collectibles, enhancing the understated elegance that defines these serene havens. Every property is designed to harmonise with its
stunning surroundings, echoing the natural palette of the Alps through rich shades of grey stone, warm wood and crisp white. A celebration of simplicity and design, these homes serve as the perfect sanctuary for relaxation, as well as a luxurious base to explore the cultural treasures of Ticino, the charming Swiss-Italian canton celebrated for its internationally renowned architectural heritage, stunning landscapes and powerful magnetic fields. At Do-Minus Boutique Homes Collection, each
retreat is equipped with private and one-of-a-kind wellness facilities, including saunas, whirlpools, hot
tubs and inviting fireplaces, all designed to cultivate a tranquil escape. Guests can indulge in in-house spa treatments and massages on demand, fostering a profound connection with the region’s spirit. Positioned near UNESCO World Heritage sites,
including enchanting Bellinzona’s medieval castles, these homes offer an abundance of adventure. Guests can experience the thrill of the nearby Tibetan Bridge, undertake the Via Ferrata, marvel at cascading waterfalls and try canyoning or skiing, all while immersing in the beauty of the Alps. Design enthusiasts will appreciate the modern works of the great Ticinese architects — including acclaimed architect Luigi Snozzi — whose masterpieces perfectly complement the rugged landscape through their striking contrast. Ideal for intimate gatherings, each one of these
retreats can accommodate up to eight guests in charming maisonette houses and elegant mini- suites, blending rustic allure with modern luxury. Inviting outdoor lounges featuring spa pools and fireplaces set the scene for unforgettable evenings under the starlit sky.
