Self-billed as “the soul retreat” this charismatic property on the Lake Maggiore in Switzerland’s Ticino region is housed in a rustic, saffron-hued Tuscan-style villa surrounded by a jungle of well-manicured Mediterranean gardens – making for a particularly aromatic experience. Inside, 54 rooms and 18 suites are perfect home-from-homes for weary out-of-towners, who also enjoy access to an in-house Dipiù spa as well as Ecco, the hotel’s two-Michelin-starred eatery.
