What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler and Wallpaper*.
Interiors combine historic architecture with tailored design: villa-style rooms with king beds, spa-like bathrooms stocked with Le Labo products, and terraces that open directly to the lake.
Somewhere quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Set along Cadenabbia's shoreline, the palazzo sits steps from the Bellagio ferry dock and the lush botanical gardens of Villa Carlotta.
The rooms
Restored French balconies frame Bellagio across the water, paired with pale oak floors, arched portals, and bathrooms lined in Calacatta marble.
Floating pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A floating swimming pool sits suspended directly over the water, alongside a 24-hour fitness studio with Technogym gear.
The thermal baths
Ribbed green pillars surround the indoor thermal pool, leading to floor-to-ceiling lake views and a mosaic-tiled sauna.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Cetino by Mauro Colagreco
Mauro Colagreco shapes an ingredient-led menu across terracotta dining rooms that look out onto the lake.
a quieter and more contemporary escape. And though designers Neri&Hu have created a serene interior worth the visit, the real draw is the outdoor setting.
Restaurant
Renzo
Potted citrus trees shade the pergola terrace, where family-inspired Italian recipes look out toward the lights of Bellagio.
At the table
The Lobby Bar serves cocktails beside a carved stone fireplace, and the dockside terrace serves fresh Mediterranean seafood.
How it began
Dating to 1830, the former palazzo preserves its original cream, butter, and clay facade alongside high vaulted arches across the ground floor.
