Villa Lario, Pognana, Lake Como, Italy
Classical Italian architecture meets modern luxury at
this secluded all-suite retreat carved into the cliffs more than 160 feet above
the lake.
A welcome break from the area’s more historic hotels, décor is cool
and contemporary; the 20-metre infinity pool is super-sleek; and exclusive
tailor-made moments – dinner on the pontoon, cocktails on the pool deck, or Grappa-tasting on-board the villa’s
Tulio Abbate speedboat – really do make the most of the setting. Watersports
and boat rentals are also available, spa and golf activities can be arranged off-site,
or just find your favourite spot and relax in the gorgeous historical gardens.
