Your relaxing vacation in Morcote will find the perfect spot in IL BALCONE SUL LAGO! This modern one-bedroom apartment, set in a historic building in the arcades of Morcote, is newly renovated and beautifully furnished, and enjoys a beautiful view of Lake Lugano. Entering, there is the living room, with a comfortable sofa on which to relax after a day spent on the lake, which becomes a double bed for the night. Next to it is the dining table for 4, where you can eat with family and friends. The kitchen is open to the living room, modern and complete with everything you need for lunches and dinners like at home. It is from the balcony that you can enjoy the best view of Lake Lugano and its green mountains: admire the view while sipping an aperitif on the small table outside! The bedroom is double, perfect for couples looking for a romantic stay. A bathroom with shower concludes the apartment.
A towel set is included for each person, together with bed sheets and blankets; we also give you a courtesy kit. We also leave a basket with the necessary for a breakfast. 
 Please note: the sofa bed is not prepared, we think it is proper to use the sofa during non-sleeping hours. You will find sheets, pillows and blankets in the closet/shelf most adjacent to the sofa. WARNING: Air conditioning does not work in bedrooms! Free Wi-Fi for the guests. The apartment does not have private parking, but you can park in the public parking lots along the street or in the large Garavello municipal parking garage (paid parking spaces).

Nearby: Morcote is one of the most beautiful villages in Switzerland, also called the "Pearl of Ceresio." 
Visit the beautiful Scherrer Park, with rare botanical species and various exotic plants. Don't miss the Church of Santa Maria del Sasso, the monumental staircase, and the Captain's Tower.
Stroll along the lakefront and under the arcades, discovering the stores, boutiques, and small restaurants, and reach the swimming area in just 5 minutes. From the pier in front of the apartment and the Morcote harbor, you can buy boat tickets and visit the lake's various tourist destinations. A nearby parking garage (Autosilo Garavello) and connection to public transportation (bus, train, boat), whose stops are a few minutes' walk from the apartment, make it easy to reach the vacation apartments. How to arrive: If arriving by train, from Melide train station take bus No. 431 (direction Lugano, Autosilo Balestra) for 7 stops (about 11 minutes) and get off at the "Morcote, Piazza Grande" stop. Walk for about 1 minute (140 m) to reach the building. 
If you arrive by car, from the A2 highway take the "Melide" exit and follow the GPS directions: in 8 minutes you will reach the apartment. Before the village, coming from Melide, at the beginning of Morcote, there is a large sign on the right indicating a municipal parking lot (Autosilo Garavello), where you can leave your car at affordable rates and there is also a bike storage room. From there, walk 280 m to reach the apartment.
