By the tranquil banks of Lake Como’s eastern shore sits ll Sereno Lago di Como, a newly-opened five-star boutique residence that will also mark the first new hotel by the lake in decades.

Designed by prolific Milan-based architect and designer Patricia Urquiola, the Il Sereno is located a convenient 6km away from the center of Como and a mere 50 minutes from Milan. It joins its neighbor Villa Pliniana by the same lake and Le Sereno Hotel and Villas in St. Barthelemy to be the third Sereno Hotels property.

Merging both contemporary design and quiet elegance, the compound houses a private beach, infinity pool and gardens designed by botanist Patrick Blanc, so you can expect total serenity amidst nature. At the helm of the Ristorante Berton is decorated Milan restauranteur and Michelin star chef Andrea Berton, who will serve up a menu inspired by the region.

“Sereno Hotels has perfected the art of providing luxury service in a relaxed manner and we look forward to introducing our brand of service to Lake Como. Guests will have access to not only the best in design, amenities and cuisine, but will also find an attention to detail that is unrivalled,” said Samy Ghachem, Managing Director of Sereno Hotels.
