Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni ' s magnificent position by the lake
Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni Bellagio , Lake Como
The Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni is famous for three things - its favourable position on the banks of Lake Como in the picturesque town of Bellagio , just at the point where all three fingers of Lake Como join , its lush gardens of palms and luxuriant shrubs and its extremely well preserved architecture and interior decoration . Today a 5 star hotel , the Villa Serbelloni consists of the elegant original villa and two wings where the majority of the bedrooms are located . The ornate interior is actually entirely in keeping with the character of the hotel ; the feel of a very relaxed holiday hotel is emphasized by the comfortable armchairs in the lounge , the cosy American bar , the live music for dancing in the lounge every night , and the bedrooms , where the accent is firmly on traditional comfort rather than modern style . The views of the lake are quite magical , and can be enjoyed from the gardens and terrace , the lounge and those of the rooms which are fortunate enough to be at the front of the hotel . The gardens and private beach at the Villa Serbelloni give the impression that the hotel is actually in much larger grounds , and further out of town than it is ; in fact it ' s just a couple of minutes ’ walk to the pretty squares and waterfront of Bellagio . The hotel has two restaurants : the elegant , Michelin-starred Mistral Restaurant and La Goletta , serving traditional Italian cuisine . Service is either inside or , in the summer months , on the veranda ( gentlemen are required
to wear a jacket for dinner ). Other facilities of the Villa Serbelloni include an outdoor and two indoor swimming pools , a private beach , water�sports and tennis , with golf nearby . Deluxe rooms have a lake view . We recommend this hotel as a real holiday hotel , perhaps for stays of seven or ten nights , so that you can really appreciate the beauty of the Villa Serbelloni , Bellagio and the surrounding area of Lake Como , with its numerous walks , villas and gardens to visit .
