There is a very special atmosphere in the Scherrerpark in Morcote on Lake Lugano. Nestled in lush subtropical vegetation reminiscent of exotic countries, we find architecture and works of art inspired by distant cultures, such as a Siamese tea house, an Egyptian temple and Greek sculptures. We owe this fascinating garden to Hermann Arthur Scherrer, who wanted to realize his dream from the 1930s to create a magical place to remember his travels. Between palm trees, eucalyptus and lemons, cedars and oleanders, visitors can admire a variety of flowering and fragrant plants.

Always worth a detour. I can particularly recommend the Grotto del Parco Scherrer. Small but nice menu and so far always well eaten.

The park, known as the “Garden of Miracles”, was created by Arturo Scherrer (1881 - 1956), textile merchant, passionate traveler and art and culture lover. The park monument houses a rich collection of art objects from different countries and different epochs, surrounded by lush vegetation and buildings and works of art of various kinds from all over the world. For me, the DASSS park is the highlight of Morcote, just wonderful.
