OUR REVIEW
THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
In a lovely location on the western shore, facing legendary Bellagio, you're conveniently located to reach the lake's major sights. There are regular boat services from Cadenabbia, a ten-minute walk away.
By plane: direct flights from London (under 2 hours) and Manchester (2 hours 15 minutes) to Milan Malpensa. The hotel is a 2-hour drive from the airport. Paid on-site parking available. Book flights to Milan.
THE LOOK AND FEEL
A butterscotch Art Nouveau palazzo, with bold and vibrant colour schemes bringing a youthful vibe to the interiors. Elegant wooden antiques marry with contemporary works of art, giving life to a sophisticated ambience. Fashionistas sip on expertly crafted cocktails as they catch a few rays at the stylish floating swimming pool, while the lush gardens at the back of the property exude an aura of peace and tranquillity.
THE FACILITIES
Young, dynamic staff ooze enthusiasm, offering professional service and sound lake advice. The floating swimming pool is one of the main draws, although there's plenty more to enjoy: a second pool in the lush gardens, floodlit clay tennis court and panoramic path. Zip across the lake on one of the hotel's motor launches, take part in a cookery masterclass or enjoy the view from a sea plane.
