'beautiful place for a holiday' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'you draw a number' is the wordplay.
'you draw' becomes 'lug' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'number' becomes 'no' (abbreviation).
'lug'+'a'+'no'='LUGANO'

'if' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for lugano that I've seen before include "Lake between Lakes Como and Maggiore" , "Nag Lou to go to Swiss resort" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
