The best and most elegant hotel lies outside Morcote in the village of Vico, 4km (2 1/2 miles) to the northeast on the shores of Lake Lugano. This hotel is elegantly modern and very deluxe, among the finest in all the Ticino. A personalized welcome awaits you, along with a sublime decor that takes in crystal chandeliers, marble floors, and columns in Sicilian travertine. Bedrooms are beautifully furnished and equipped with modern technology, and each comes with a cozy sitting area. The most desirable units face south with sliding windows overlooking the lake and the village. From the goose-feather duvets to the oversized bath towels, everything here focuses on la dolce vita.
One of the reasons to stay here is the cuisine, which is classic and international but also lighter in sections for more modern tastes. For a romantic evening near the lake, the Lago Restaurant, with its Mediterranean specialties, is recommended. More formal dining can be found at the Panorama, with its seasonally adjusted menu. A private boat takes guests on a tour of the lake. The Wellness Centre, an elegant spa decorated like an ancient Roman thermal bath, is one of the finest in the Ticino.
