In addition to being one of our most beautiful lakes, Lake Como is the largest in all of Italy in terms of perimeter length, and as such its shores are overlooked by many villages, one more picturesque than the other.

Starting from the cities of Como and Lecco, which by the way is the place where the events narrated in I Promessi Sposi (The Betrothed) originate, let us mention just some of the most famous villages: Bellagio, Tremezzo, Cernobbio and Moltrasio, which has hosted the likes of Winston Churchill.

Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni

Named Reader’s Choice 2023 by Condé Nast Traveler and winner of the World Best Award 2023 by Travel + Leisure.
The Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni also boasts several honorable mentions in the most renowned magazines and newspapers such as the New York Times, Vogue or even Forbes, which aptly called it, “One of the world’s most coveted vacation spots“.

The Villa Serbelloni is a historic luxury hotel that has been renowned throughout the area for some 150 years for the excellent standards of its services and the aesthetic superbness of its location and architecture: a splendid oasis that offers the experience of the same vacation that members of the nobility used to have, far from the city and immersed in lush nature.

All of this while being pampered by the warm notes of jazz or an enveloping piano concert, echoing through the white walls of the hotel.

One can’t but wonder how many illustrious guests have slept in Villa Serbelloni‘s suites, featuring sophisticated, baroque interior design embellished with authentic period furniture that tell us of a lifestyle that now survives only among these corridors.

And the Imperial Suite, one of the largest suites overlooking the entire of Lake Como, is one of the most shining examples of luxury interior design.
In this place you get the impression that time has never passed and has stood still in the splendor of the Belle Époque.

Spacious, light-filled spaces, warm, vibrant nuances and refined interior design worthy of a court palace.

A few minutes from the Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni there is a park named after the villa, dotted with dense and enchanting vegetation both native and exotic and embellished with statues and sculptures.
From here you can enjoy a beautiful view of the waters of the lake.

Hotel Villa d’Este

Villa d’Este is an ancient noble residence listed in the Locali Storici d’Italia and is home to a design luxury hotel, set within the same park that surrounds the building, which is about 10 hectares in size and dotted with centuries-old trees.
Considered to be one of the masterpieces of 16th-century architecture and embellished by a park that is itself a masterpiece of Baroque scenery and pageantry, the Hotel Villa d’Este is certainly one of the most prestigious luxury hotels in Cernobbio and the whole Lake Como.

As such, the entire interior design has been managed to preserve the aesthetic coherence of the patrician villas that dot the shores of Lake Como.
And it is precisely the patrician villas that are the hotel’s top-of-the-line gems of hospitality.

Four luxury villas within the centuries-old parkland of Villa d’Este that provide all the excellent comforts of a luxury hotel, plus the intimacy and tranquility of a real home.
Of these, the most picturesque is undoubtedly the Mosaic House.

It measures about 90 square meters and is located very close to the beautiful mosaic that shares the same name.
The interior design is characterized by a classic yet refined approach, thanks also to the palette used, which favors warm and bright tones.
Suitable for two people, it is the perfect destination for an unforgettable honeymoon.

And while you are in one of Italy’s most important historical and artistic places of interest, why not take the opportunity to admire the splendid Nymphaeum, whose mosaic gives its name to the villa itself?

Hotel Belvedere Bellagio

Directed by women since 1880, a full four generations, Hotel Belvedere Bellagio enjoys a super-exclusive panoramic view of Lake Como, keeping true to its name, as Belvedere is an Italian term for identifying a point from where one enjoys a particularly enchanting view.
And the Belvedere stands out from other luxury hotels overlooking the waters of Lake Como as an authentic landmark associated with luxury Made in Italy design.

Each room and each suite has been individually managed, composing a very refined and “tailor-made” interior design depending on the location of the space, the light and the view from the windows.
Certainly, the leitmotif is definitely the classic style, but the endless variations in which it has been interpreted is a demonstration of the very high standards and talent that the Belvedere‘s management has chosen to handle all the interior design.

The most prestigious option is for sure the Signature Suite.
Luxury, excellence and comforts typical of high-end hospitality matched with the intimacy and tranquility of an exclusive location on the lake, from where you can enjoy a breathtaking view thanks to the balcony.

Every room is bright and colorful and the interior design is characterized by a balance between classic and minimalist styles, enriched by a palette that goes hand in hand with the blue sky that mirrors itself in the lake.

And since you are near the village of Pescallo, a hamlet of Bellagio, why not enjoy a stroll through this picturesque landscape?
Or perhaps, a nice boat trip.

Grand Hotel Tremezzo

At Grand Hotel Tremezzo, located in Tremezzina, high-end hospitality is signed Made in Italy.
The luxurious interiors are embellished with period furnishings and antiques, enveloped in the sunlight and the vibrant tones of water with the scents of nature drifting in from the windows.

The Grand Hotel Tremezzo‘s offerings consist of 84 rooms and suites, but the quintessential Tremezzo hospitality is not found here, but just minutes from the hotel itself: Villa Sola Cabiati.
