Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como

Mandarin Oriental, Lago di Como sits within a centuries-old botanical garden on the lake’s eastern shore, with rooms, suites and private villas set across nine elegant buildings. Pathways wind through the grounds towards the floating infinity pool, while the spa makes full use of its waterfront setting with a lake-view wet area and holistic treatments. Dining is equally well placed, from L’ARIA and CO.MO Bar & Bistrot to relaxed poolside lunches at NAMI Cafe. Lake Como looks rather good from here.
