Villa d’Este

Italy

Once a 16th century private palazzo, this magnificent lakeside member of ‘The Leading Hotels of the World’ sits within twenty-five acres of Renaissance gardens and wooded parkland close to the village of Cernobbio. Behind the grand façade, guests will discover luxurious baronial guest rooms, grand salons, tapestried halls, marble staircases, fine art and antique statues. Adding a modern touch, is the wellness and beauty centre, indoor swimming pool, indoor golf simulator and putting green. Beyond the decadent interiors, guests can enjoy many activities on the lake – windsurfing, canoeing, water-skiing and sailing are all available – whilst museums and golf courses are located close by. An ideal place to stroll and to un-wind, simply soak-up the exceptional views from the remarkable swimming pool on the lake.
