Table decorations and indulgence

The joys of Easter meet culinary bliss.

A lovingly set table is an important part of culinary indulgence. How much attention has been paid to the details? Is the arrangement calm or busy? We’ve given some thought to special Easter table decorations for your loved ones.

A table is more than just a place to put the dishes. It’s an invitation, a setting, a first promise. Easter offers the opportunity to give your home a touch of what makes hotels like the Vista Lake Front Boutique Hotel and restaurants so special: aesthetics and cuisine of the highest calibre.

The Easter table
The first step is to choose the basic tone. A simple linen tablecloth in off-white or delicate sage forms the basis. On top, ceramic dishes, fine glasses, the good cutlery. The Easter theme subtly flows in: here a single branch of cherry blossom, splashes of colour through fabric napkins in terracotta or powder pink for a cosy, festive atmosphere.

What will you be serving?
The dishes will also be part of the composition. You don’t have to spend hours in the kitchen preparing twenty different dishes: five or six will suffice, thoughtfully coordinated with each other. Scrambled egg served with truffle oil and fresh chives becomes a delicacy. A salmon fillet impresses when accompanied by cream cheese and a crispy fresh baguette. A wooden board with cheese and figs, a bowl of fresh fruit whets the appetite for indulgence. Homemade granola with yoghurt and berries is served alongside poached eggs on avocado toast, complemented by a light salad with feta and mint.
If you wish, you can add a sweet touch: mini pavlovas with passion fruit or a bowl of fine chocolates for dessert. When it comes to drinks, a spirit of experimentation is worthwhile. In addition to coffee, a Mimosa can be served to start things off, and for those who prefer it alcohol-free, elderflower syrup can be mixed with tonic and garnished with cucumber.

A table with a view
And then there are moments when you want a space that is itself a backdrop. Where the waves of Lake Maggiore provide the background music.
That’s exactly what you’ll find at the Vista Lakefront Boutique Hotel, where the lake lies deep blue in front of the hotel.
Once you’ve experienced the feeling of waking up to a lake view, you’ll take a little of that tranquillity home with you. Easter at home or Easter by the lake – both have their charm. The choice is entirely yours.

Happy Easter!
