On the beautiful Lake Como, near Cernobio, there’s an amazing hotel called Villa d’Este which the prestigious American magazine Forbes has just nominated the best hotel in the world! The Italian hotel has been chosen over a number of other luxury hotels such as the Peninsula in Bangkok, the Landmark Mandarin Oriental in Hong Kong, the Four Seasons George V in Paris and the famous Burj al Arab in Dubai.
The Villa d’Este with its 152 deluxe rooms and a century-old park immediately conquered the international jury which comprised: journalists, actors, tv hosts; in short people who are used to staying at luxurious hotels! The natural beauty surrounding the hotel, its architecture, the amazing rooms full of history, the weather and the enchanting vista of the lake have all contributed to the international success of the Villa d’Este hotel.
By the way if you are planning to spend a night there in high season, be ready to be set back 900 euros, but it will be worth it!
