Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni - A Legendary Hotel

Centrally located with access to restaurants and shops. Guests praised the attentive and friendly staff. The property features a pool and lake.

Elegant, sophisticated, luxurious. A truly unmatched property, inside and out. This was definitely one of the best hotels my husband and I have visited, and maybe the most comfortable bed in Italy! The service in the hotel was impeccable, really making this feel like a special place. We enjoyed the restaurants and piano lounge, and the breakfast room and spread were, again I can only think of the word "unmatched". Just stunning. I would recommend this place to anyone. But the beautiful pool you see in almost every picture of the hotel? I do have to say it was a disappointment. For almost a year I fantasized about relaxing next to this pool right on the edge of beautiful Lake Como, cocktail in hand, light bossa nova playing in the background. But in reality, it's packs of kids screaming, running back and forth between the pool and the hotel's swim platform in the lake, belly flopping off of the diving board, with incessant pleas for mom to watch and toddlers in water wings squealing as they learn how to swim. For some, this is great and family-friendly. For others like me, hoping desperately to relax and read a book all day next to this gorgeous pool on Lake Como? Not going to happen. Not the vibe. At least in high summer. An additional disappointment was the service at the pool. The pool and beach areas were full throughout the day, and there were only two people to fulfil orders for drinks and food. We waited 10-15 minutes each time we went for towels, another 20+ for menus and water, and mostly just resorted to going to the kitchen area to ask for something. We would have definitely ate and drank more if the staff were more plentiful or attentive. But all around, just top-notch. A very special place that we will always remember fondly, and hope to return to.

What a beautifully exquisite property, maintained extremely well and in a fabulous location on the lake. Management was very accommodating and cleanliness throughout was top notch. Breakfast wonderful! Hopefully, if we find our way to this area of italy again, we would stay there.
