Lakeside luxury
If you’ve been dreaming of a luxurious holiday by the water, the Villa Flori hotel is a must-stay. It couldn’t be any closer to the lake, and as such, many parts of the hotel have views over the water. You’ll find it in a pocket-sized park, nestled between cedar and magnolia trees, just north of Como. If you do want to explore the city, take a 40-minute wander along the lakefront path, or hop in a taxi for a 10-minute drive. We’d recommend the walk, though, as you’ll pass the beautiful Villa Olmo on route – a huge neoclassical villa, which was once a summer retreat for aristocrats.
Rooms here are cosy and calming, and many have small balconies with views over the water. Each one comes with free Wi-Fi, a TV, and a private marble-clad bathroom. Head up to the top floor of the hotel, meanwhile, and you’ll find a spa featuring treatment rooms, a sauna, a Turkish bath, and a sun terrace overlooking the lake. There’s also a small fitness room. And if you’d like to explore the lake on two wheels, bike hire is available.
If you fancy eating at the hotel, you’re in luck. The Raimondi Restaurant serves Italian dishes made from fresh local ingredients, and there’s a bar for drinks. If you fancy dining al fresco, head out to the restaurant’s wrap-around terrace, which overlooks the lake. For drinks, look no further than the Lounge Bar, where there’s often live music. You can also set yourself up for the day at the free Continental breakfast buffet.

Find out more about Cernobbio
Have a peek at Villa Pizzo, a 17th-century villa that’s one of the most talked-about locations in Cernobbio. You can tour the fragrant and flower-filled gardens surrounding the villa that overlooks the lake. The town also has a wide lakeside promenade for a scenic stroll if you just want to order gelato and soak up the atmosphere and scenery.
The food is delicious. And you’re not short on places to feast on excellent Italian food in the authentic trattorias in Cernobbio. While fancy restaurants jostle for your business, it’s just as easy to find down-to-earth cafes serving pastries and sandwiches. Order something to go and find a spot overlooking the lake to savour the views.
