Lake Como icon since 1873
On Lake Como at Cernobbio, the iconic Villa d’Este opened as a hotel in 1873 in a 16th-century estate. 152 rooms and suites in the original Cardinal’s Building and Queen’s Pavilion, the floating swimming pool on the lake, and signature dining at the Veranda.
An Introduction
Villa d’Este sits on the western shore of Lake Como at Cernobbio, opened as a hotel in 1873 in the original 16th-century lakeside estate. All of the accommodation preserves original frescoes, antique furnishings and lakeside positioning.
The famous floating swimming pool extends out over Lake Como, alongside the resort’s heated outdoor pool and the historic indoor pool. Sport Club Villa d’Este runs tennis courts, fitness facilities and watersports on the lake, whilst the Spa runs treatment rooms in heritage spaces with Italian-led signature rituals.
The hotel jetty runs vintage Riva-boat lake cruises to Bellagio, Como old town, Villa Carlotta . Villa d’Este is Italy’s hotel as set piece, the kind of place where dinner spills out onto a terrace built five centuries ago, where the view is breathtaking.
Dining
Villa d’Este offers a variety of dining venues across the heritage estate, where cuisine becomes an art form
From The Veranda, which is the signature evening restaurant with Italian fine dining to alternative options for grilled meat specialities and Mediterranean and Japanese cuisine, there truly is something for everyone.
Bar Canova, will offer an unparalleled mixology experience and Sundeck is an ideal spot for a light lunch or a refreshing drink, next to the floating pool.
Facilities and experiences
The expert physiotherapists and beauticians, in the spa, offer personalised treatments enhanced by advanced technologies, delivering a restorative experience like no other. Tai Chi and Pilates are also readily available.
The famous floating swimming pool extends over Lake Como itself and Sport Club Villa d’Este runs tennis, fitness and watersports on the lake.
For those wishing to explore, there are excursions to Bellagio, Como old town and Villa Carlotta, and Vintage Riva-boat lake cruises depart from the resort jetty.
