The Grand Hotel Villa Serbelloni was built as a private home in 1853 and turned into a luxury hotel in 1873. It is located in a privileged position in Bellagio, a small medieval town known as the “pearl of the lake” for its beauty and its position at the tip of the promontory in the centre of Lake Como.

The hotel is regularly quoted by both Condé Nast Traveler and Travel & Leisure as one of the best hotels in the world. Still nowadays the Bucher family, owner of the hotel for generations, enables its guests to live the evocative atmosphere of the past, while responding to their needs and desires of current times as well.

That’s why Villa Serbelloni’s guests enjoy the sensation of being hosted in an elegant hotel, while feeling at ease living an unforgettable holiday experience.

From April to November the salons and the large lakeside garden offer guests the chance to enjoy a holiday far from the madding crowd and close to nature immersed in one of the most beautiful panoramas in the world.

Lovers of peace and quiet can alternate the pleasure of a poolside drink with beauty treatments and programmes at Villa Serbelloni SPA, the hotel’s own beauty farm. Or they can set off from the private dock for a motorboat trip to the historic gardens along the lake which, in Springtime, attract tourists from all over the world: especially for the wonderful flowering of the azaleas.

Lovers of sport can take advantage of the hotel gym and tennis courts, enjoy delightful walks or take a mountain bike out on the Bellagio promontory, before freshening up in the swimming pool overlooking the lake.

The two restaurants give guests the opportunity to choose their preferred style of food: Mistral is elegant and Michelin starred. La Goletta is an informal restaurant offering traditional food including pizza.

Located only 70km from Milan Airports, and only 30km from Como.  Transfers can be arranged by boat or private car.

You’d be forgiven for thinking that Belmond Hotel Caruso is suspended in a heavenly realm, somewhere between the sea and the sky. Set into the cliff edge, around 350m above sea level over tiered groves of lemons and olive vines, it’s your private balcony over the Mediterranean.  Sat on a limestone throne at the peaceful pinnacle of Ravello, Belmond Hotel Caruso gazes out over the Tyrrhenian Sea. The hotel was originally built in the 11th century by a wealthy family, shipwrecked on their journey to Constantinople. It was once called Palazzo d’Afflitto—the Palace of the Afflicted.

Today, the name could not be further from the truth. Belmond Hotel Caruso boasts all the worldly luxuries anyone could desire. Vibrant frescoed salons play neighbor to stone vaults adorned with arches and chandeliers. Marbled hallways lead to rooms brimming with antiques and paintings by old masters. In each nook visitors will uncover a new and intriguing part of the hotel’s history.

Inside, our 51 rooms have been lovingly restored to their ancient Neapolitan glory. Expect hand-crafted terracotta floors and Naples-yellow walls adorned with neo-classical antiques. Fresh flowers and stunning coastline vistas complete the experience.

Join head gardener Gaetano and explore our verdant grounds, over 100 years in the making. Meander down the rose arbour to our infinity pool. Its an architectural triumph that seemingly extends straight into the ocean. Re-energise with one of our personal trainers; the panoramic sea view from our gym adds a nice distraction.

From Belmond Hotel Caruso, Ravello is yours to explore. Spend an afternoon wandering the lush lemon terraces. Perhaps find a bird’s eye view over the Amalfi Coast by helicopter. Take our traditional wooden boat, Ercole, to Positano, or drive to Roman Pompeii. Whatever your heart desires, our concierge will happily arrange.

Shopaholics, meanwhile, will enjoy our in-house boutique. Goods have all been hand-picked or exclusively designed for the hotel. Later, liberate mind, body and soul at our Wellness Centre. We recommend the signature ‘Ritual of Happiness’ treatment, complete with a foot bath, body exfoliation and alfresco massage.

Come evening, chef Mimmo di Raffaele injects modern flair into traditional Italian dishes at Belvedere Restaurant. Each creation uses world-class local produce. What better way to cap off the night than at our atmospheric Cocktail and Piano Bar? With innovative cocktails, wines, champagne and local prosecco, it’s the destination of choice for Amalfi Coast nightlife.

It’s testament to Belmond Hotel Caruso that when guests come to depart they have a tear in their eye. The only affliction here is ever having to leave our piece of paradise.

The castle of Mezzatorre has an ancient and fascinating history. The name “Mezzatorre” derives from the presence of an ancient watch tower remained unfinished (from here “Mezza”) and built between the sixteenth and seventeenth century by the Aragonese as a watchtower. It was enlarged in the eighteenth century by the dukes of Rancidello. In the thirties, the tower was used as a pension until one of the owners was Luigi Patalano, a distinguished scholar, politician and poet. Founder of political and cultural magazines, he transformed the tower into an active cultural cenacle. Patalano also built “La Colombaia” in the same park as Mezzatorre, just a short walk from the hotel. After being owned by Baron Fassini, an educated aristocrat, elegant and lover of good life, the beautiful villa was bought in the 50s by Luchino Visconti, the eclectic Italian movie director, who brought an atmosphere of fruitful culture to the island.

Ischia has always been attractive for its wild beauty, healing thermal springs and excellent vineyard. A 17-squaremile island of parched tufa and bougainvillea, also commonly known as Isola Verde for its extremely fertile soils. Just off the Amalfi coast, Ischia is Capri’s more mysterious and eclectic sister, one of Italy’s best kept secrets. Proudly dominating the seascape from a rocky promontory, the Mezzatorre Hotel overlooks sparkling Bay of Naples, the island of Capri and the sea on the horizon.

Located near Forio d’Ischia, the hotel is secluded in the midst of a thick Mediterranean maquis and just a few minutes from San Montano Bay, where in 750 b.c. the Greeks landed and founded the first colony of Magna Grecia, and the small village of

Lacco Ameno, to stroll along the seafront or sip a coffee at a bar in the square. The strategic location of Ischia, overlooking the Gulf of Naples, makes Mezzatorre the perfect private “harbour” to discover the bay’s beauty through island hopping, crossing the sea by series of shorter journeys between islands like Procida and Capri.

The Mezzatorre welcomes guests in a stunning setting without equal. The 57 rooms and suites are located either in the old tower and the cottages, set in a large park of 7 hectares, surrounded by the Mediterranean maquis and overlooking the sea. Sleeping at the Mezzatorre is a dream.

For complete relaxation our Health & Beauty Center is the right place to be. A wide range of beauty and therapeutic treatments are available at our Spa and our qualified and highly specialized therapists will surely make you feel revitalized. Being known since the time of the ancients Romans for its healing characteristics, the thermal water will restore your body leaving you revitalized.
