Modern apartment with a view of the lake in Morcote (Balcone sul Lago)

Modern apartment with lake view in Morcote (Il Balcone sul Lago)



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 (Please note: The sofa bed will not be prepared as a bed for your arrival, as we deem it proper to use it as a sofa during the day. You will find the bed linen, pillows and blankets in the wardrobe/shelf closest to the sofa.). 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.



Quality bedding, towels and a courtesy kit are provided. 

We also leave a gift basket with some necessary items for your first breakfast.

Free Wi-Fi available. 

Smoking is strictly prohibited. 

Any commercial activity within the apartment is prohibited.
