Il Sereno Hotel is a beautiful five-star hotel that combines modern luxury with the natural beauty of Lake Como. This exclusive hotel has 40 carefully designed rooms, making it an intimate and sophisticated destination.
Some of Stylishpere’s staff visited this compact and elegant property, and this was their highlight:
“Hotel Il Sereno is a structure with 40 rooms. A small hotel. Very modern. A more compact space. Built with 20 rooms in 2016 and 20 more in 2018. The rooms with lake views are quite a smaller area, and designed perfectly with loggias as outdoor spaces. The service is perfect, perhaps even slightly better than at the Mandarin, which we have already visited. Upon arrival, we were offered homemade tea (the recipe of which they gave us). The staff was very dedicated and helped us organize our day. They chose the restaurant for us and made a mini-guide. The lunch restaurant was located near Villa Melzi.”
The hotel’s design is the work of the well-known Spanish architect and designer Patrizia Urquiola. Her modern approach uses natural materials, large windows, and minimalistic interiors to highlight the beauty of the surroundings. The design ensures that guests always feel connected to the stunning views of Lake Como. The hotel merges with the lake with the help of its pool, which integrates into the water. The facade is covered in wooden brise-soleils that maintain the intimacy between the rooms’ loggias and the hotel’s gardens.
Il Sereno Hotel offers top-notch service that rivals some of the world’s best hotels. The staff’s commitment to providing a personalized experience is clear from the moment guests arrive. Their dedication makes your stay memorable. The hotel’s lunch restaurant, located near the historic Villa Melzi, offers a wonderful dining experience. Guests can enjoy gourmet meals while taking in the beautiful surroundings, adding to the unique charm of their stay.
Il Sereno Hotel on Lake Como is not just a place to stay; it is an experience that combines modern design, outstanding service, and the natural beauty of Lake Como. Whether you’re looking for a peaceful getaway or a base to explore the area, Il Sereno promises a stay that is unique and unforgettable.
