  Morcote Switzerland
Morcote has a handful of hotels, but also suffers from a great deal of tourist attention, and very many feet tramping its alleys.
One way to escape is to aim for the even tinier village of VICO MORCOTE, on the hard-to-reach hillside above and 1km north of Morcote.
Here, although the church is just as picturesque and the tiny village piazzas are lined with old stone-built houses that are just as beautiful, unlike in Morcote you can actually hear the fountains tinkle, smell the camellias and stand alone in the middle of the street to absorb the atmosphere.
