BLESSED BY SUNLIGHT, BENEATH THE STARS

Inspired by the breathtaking views beyond the shimmering waters of Lake Como as far as Switzerland, visionary engineer Emilio Polillo and award-winning designer Zoltan Varro have reached for the stars to combine soaring nature and Italian heritage with contemporary luxury. Cooler in sweltering summer, cozy in snowy winter, this exclusive retreat beckons discerning visitors year-round with fine dining and an indoor spa, private boat tours and enchanted gardens. Its original opening in 1911 coincided with the electrification of the funicular that whisked fashionable Milanese day trippers up from Lake Como in a matter of minutes.
