Location

The villa is in the village of Morcote, on the southern tip of the Swiss side of Lake Lugano. The surrounding countryside is crossed with hiking paths ideal for enjoying this stunning landscape. Morcote is known as one of the most beautiful villages in Switzerland, with its elegant buildings, some of which date back to the 15th century. The Church of Santa Maria del Sasso (a 4-minute drive) is a peaceful hilltop sanctuary offering panoramic views, beautiful frescoes, and a serene atmosphere perfect for quiet reflection. Scherrer Park (a 3-minute drive) is dotted with lemon trees, bamboo groves and statues inspired by classical myths in the grounds of a hillside villa; it feels like a walk in paradise.

The village of Vico Morcote (11 minutes) is equally stunning, set on the hillside above the lake and surrounded by vineyards. Vico Morcote is packed with beautiful Mediterranean architecture and has a different feel from Morcote. Being higher on the hill, Vico Morcote has some of the best views around, and as you explore, you will stumble upon Swiss heritage sites, parks and other treasures. The Tenuta Castello di Morcote winery (13 minutes) offers wine tastings and excellent food. You can also buy the wine directly from the producers to enjoy at home. Lugano is a 35-minute drive from the villa.

For self-catering, the Lugano farmers’ market (Tuesdays and Fridays) in Via Carducci is the place to go to pick up the best ingredients.

The nearest major airport is Milano Malpensa Airport, around 1-hour drive away.
