Spotlight on Villa d’Este

Where Renaissance grandeur meets lakeside luxury, Villa d'Este stands as a crown jewel on the shores of Lake Como, the deepest lake in Europe. Originally built in 1568 as a cardinal's summer residence, this architectural masterpiece was transformed into a luxury hotel in 1873, becoming the preferred retreat for European aristocracy. Today, it continues to set the standard for sophisticated travel—which is why we've featured it as a highlight stop on our Italy in Vogue journey this September.

Imagine waking up to sweeping lake views from your elegantly appointed room, where historic antique furnishings tell their own stories while providing every modern comfort. The Villa d'Este is truly a destination unto itself, featuring 5 top-notch dining and bar options (including La Veranda and the Canova Bar), a dedicated "chocolate room," a Turkish bath and sauna, 8 tennis courts, and not one but two spectacular pools, including the iconic floating pool on the lake.

With 25 acres of enchanting gardens dotted with centuries-old statues, you can spend afternoons strolling through pristine grounds that have captivated storied guests for generations, or savoring aperitivos with newfound friends as the sun sets over the lake.

Join us as we experience the very essence of Lake Como luxury at this carefully selected destination, where extraordinary comes standard and every detail creates moments of pure magic.
