Italian Switzerland

Not everyone has the budget to stay at the sublime Villa Orselina, but visitors can take advantage of the hotel's spectacular views to enjoy lunch, dinner for two or dinner on their own, overlooking the pearly waters of Lake Maggiore, into which the mountains fall. On the plate, the perfect harmony of Mediterranean flavors and the local Italian culinary tradition will seduce you. You can also have breakfast here. Impeccable service.

The Vetta restaurant, perched atop Monte San Salvatore, boasts an open-air terrace and panoramic veranda. The scenery is spectacular. You can even see Milan in the distance. You can dine on tasty, seasonal, Mediterranean-inspired dishes. Service is friendly despite the crowds. Ideal for a break, an aperitif or a local dish, with the added bonus of an enchanting panorama of the Lugano skyline.
