Lake Como·Historic Palace
Villa d'Este
A Renaissance palace on the shores of Lake Como
About the Property
Set within 25 acres of manicured Italian gardens on the western shore of Lake Como, Villa d'Este is one of the world's most celebrated grand hotels. Originally built as a cardinal's residence in 1568, it has welcomed royalty, artists, and discerning travellers for over four centuries. Every detail — from the frescoed ceilings to the floating pool on the lake — speaks to an era when beauty was considered a necessity.
