Il Sereno

Lake Como gets cool and contemporary at Il Sereno hotel in Torno. Designed by Patricia Urquiola with neutral stone, bronze, walnut wood and glass, the hotel creates the perfect setting for lakefront gazing, whether through the bronze-accented lobby on the terrace over cocktails, from sunloungers by the infinity pool or upstairs in minimalist suites, which all face Como and are accented with lake-hue furnishings. Explore the lake by boat in the hotel’s sleek, vintage-inspired warm-wood vessels, then retreat to Michelin Award-winning chef Andrea Berton’s restaurant for an alfresco meal of lake-caught fish and other bounty of the region.

Il Sereno is in Torno, on the southern side of Lake Como.
