Fuel up for the day at the lavish breakfast buffet or choose from a range of made-to-order dishes. For your evening meal, look no further than a Michelin-starred experience at L˜ARIA. Here, refined Italian cuisine is wonderfully intertwined with Japanese influences to produce pasta and seafood dishes like no other.

For a more informal bite, CO.MO Bar & Bistrot offers casual all-day plates and cocktails. Both of these high-end restaurants have lakeside terraces where guests can dine alfresco overlooking the lake. There’s also a pool bar and a three-wheel pizza van for lighter bites.

The resort’s fabulous location makes it a great base for exploring Lake Como and the surrounding towns and villages. Take in the spectacular views on your exclusive riverboat while indulging in a bottle of fine Italian sparkling wine and a selection of delectable canapes. For an on-land adventure, experience Lake Como’s scenic landscapes in the resort’s iconic 1959 Alfa Romeo Guilietta for the day, or hire an e-bike for a more slow-paced exploration of the surrounding area.

Back at base, unwind at the region’s largest spa and a dramatic ‘floating’ outdoor pool or learn how to make your own Italian-style pizzas and cocktails with expert chefs and mixologists.

Guests can choose between 75 spacious rooms, suites and villas spread between the main villa and eight annexes dotted through the gardens. Decorated in neutral tones with oriental touches, all boast large bathrooms and most have panoramic lake views. Upgrade to a split-level suite for a spacious living room to relax in, or splurge on the three-bedroom Villa del Lago to stay in a larger group with your own garden, outdoor Jacuzzi and boat dock.
