Rental unit in Vico Morcote
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 44 reviewsVico Morcote - Elegant and Lake view
The apartment is beautiful and has a great view over the lake. Unfortunately, this was limited due to a scaffolding, but this was clearly communicated beforehand and I knew what to expect. In the self check-in videos, everything was also explained exactly where to park and how to get to the accommodation. My 8 year old daughter and I felt very comfortable there.
