15 Best Luxury & Boutique Hotels to Book in Italy - AFAR

"An independent, family-run grande dame on Lake Como that has hosted Europe’s jet set since 1910, now modernized with rooftop suites, an expanded spa and a hammam while retaining marble bathrooms and champagne-stocked minibars. Guests can choose among three pools—including one that floats on the lake—dine at five restaurants (notably La Terrazza Gualtiero Marchesi, inspired by Italy’s first three-Michelin-starred chef), and join lively local Saturday beach parties in an atmosphere that mixes old-world glamour with relaxed lakeside fun." - Laura Itzkowitz, Erica Firpo
