Overview

Villa d’Este is located on the shores of the most romantic lake in the world, Lake Como. Surrounded by 25 acres of enchanting grounds, the villa was built in 1568 as the summer residence of Cardinal Tolomeo Gallio and converted into a luxury hotel in 1873. It quickly became the destination of choice for European aristocracy experiencing the Grand Tour.

Today Villa d’Este is celebrated all around the world. It is a destination in itself, the definition of tradition and the embodiment of a legend. Exceptional service, attention to detail and unmistakable style make Villa d’Este a universally recognized icon of the hotel industry and a beloved destination for guests.

The 152 rooms, divided between the Cardinal Building and the Queen’s Pavilion, are all unique. Each is furnished with antique Renaissance-style furniture and equipped with all modern comforts.

The four private villas, set in the gardens, blend the full range of hotel services with discretion, privacy and exclusivity.

Villa d’Este also features an elegant selection of restaurants and bars: the Veranda for a more formal ambience and world-class dining or the Grill for a more relaxed atmosphere.

In addition, guests can enjoy the beauty center, replete with spa treatment rooms, a sauna, steam bath, indoor swimming pool and fitness facilities, along with tennis and squash courts, and even running trails. The famous heated floating pool on the lake was the first for the history books.

The summer season will begin on 21 June with an extraordinary live performance by the leading international soul and jazz singer-songwriter, Mario Biondi, in the charming Mosaic Gardens at Villa d'Este. Fresh from shows around the world and the success of his recent sold-out “Crooning - The Italian Tour”, Mario Biondi will perform a special concert with his long-standing band in the iconic setting of Villa d’Este with pieces from his latest album Crooning Undercover, as well as some of his most popular songs and reworkings from his international repertoire.
