Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni

The romantic setting for breakfast is a mirrored ballroom with a wonderful sense of a bygone era. Look up at the coffered ceiling, frescoes and chandeliers. The soft corals and pinks, the pale greens and lilac grey with white and gold. Light from the seven windows is reflected by mirrors everywhere. Elsewhere there is an impressive staircase bedecked with old photographs and paintings. The traditional drawing room plays host to chamber music and couples drop their inhibitions to dance gently across the parquet floor before retiring to bed. The liveried uniforms and panelled counters of the concierge round off the notion that class is timeless when it comes to this Italian hotel. Rooms are comfortable and classic, no sharp modern lines here. Go for the lake view when possible, it's the reason that you are here.
