Lombardy and its wonderful lakes fascinated travelers since centuries. A place of honor is
given to the Lake Como: on its shores, some of the most prestigious villas of the region were
built. Some of these villas were turned, in time, into luxury resorts offering a unique and
unforgettable holiday experience. Even now, Lake Como and the medieval town of Bellagio,
the “pearl of the lake”, are home to some of the best hotels in the world.
The Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni was built as a private home in 1853 and turned into a luxury
hotel in 1873. It is located in a privileged position in Bellagio, at the tip of the promontory
in the center of Lake Como, and it’s also the only 5-stars L in town, the ideal location for
holidays as well as for weddings, private parties, and top management business meetings.
In 2016 the hotel was awarded by The Telegraph as one of the 50 best hotels in Italy. The
fame of the hotel is increased by its two restaurants: the Mistral (one Michelin star), famous
for its molecular cuisine, and La Goletta an informal restaurant offering traditional food
including pizza. Both are managed by Chef Ettore Bocchia a proper scientist of cuisine who
revolutionized the pleasure of food by making many traditional Italian delights lighter and
healthier.
Castello del Nero: experience authentic Tuscany in a 12th century castle
Celebrated by Forbes as one of the finest resorts in Chianti, Castello del Nero was built in
the 12 th century and preserves all its charm: still today is possible to admire original frescoes,
fireplaces, vault ceilings and the coat of arms of the Del Nero family, representing a rearing
greyhound. The private chapel and the clock on the main tower were built in the 18 th century,
while the magnificent Italian style garden which welcomes the guest at the entrance was
created a century later. As the Del Nero family went extinct, the Torrigiani (another great
Florentine family) took over the estate. Due to its undeniable cultural importance, the estate
(750 acres) is under the tutelage of the Italian Fine Art.
The hotel has 50 rooms and suites which feature state-of-the-art technology for in-room
entertainment, individual climate control, and many other benefits. Selected suites offer even
a unique bed, designed to replicate an original piece created to the specifications of the
Marquise Teresa Torrigiani in the 16th century. All the suites include a daily entrance per person
to the ESPA Heat Experience. The hotel’s ESPA center is the largest in Italy and offers
signature treatments with the use of homemade extra virgin olive oil. The outdoor heated
swimming pool is located in front of the SPA, boasting a magnificent view of the valley.
